Enjoy the arts at The Art Center of Corpus Christi. The works from local and area artists are displayed in rotating exhibitions, offering something new every month. The art center also offers art classes, so you can express your own creativity in photos, watercolors, oils, sculpture or other media.
In the early 1990s, the City of Corpus Christi was ready to tear down the old USO Club on the Corpus Christi bayfront. A group of local artists led the charge to preserve the building and raised funds to locate the Art Center of Corpus Christi in the facility.
The result is now an architectural gem on the city's bayfront which showcases popular works by local and national artists. The Art Center of Corpus Christi is home to 11 arts organizations. In addition to the main gallery, the 14,400-square-foot building houses a main gallery and four studios where artists can be seen working during visitor hours.
The Art Center displays a variety of wonderful work from artists, including watercolors, sculpture and photography. A clay studio encourages artists to complete works-in-progress in front of visitors. Workshops, outreach projects and other events to promote the arts to the public are an integral part of the Art Center of Corpus Christi as well.
The building is located north of Sherrill Park and offers gorgeous views of the bayfront.

The Harbor Playhouse is located in the cultural epicenter of downtown Corpus Christi, in the Bayfront Plaza, also home to the historic Heritage Park, the Museum of Asian Cultures, the American Bank Center and other attractions.

Originally, the area was known as 'Irishtown,' until severe damage from the Hurricane of 1919 swept away most of the homes from the area.
Visitors can take a self-guided tour at any time, and can look inside the homes during operating hours of the non-profits that occupy them. Guided tours are also available during the week. Hours are limited, so call ahead.
The enclave of relocated houses tells the story of many well-known families who helped build and steer the city.
The homes include:
Corpus Christi is located on the Texas gulf coast. The South Texas city is the eighth-largest in the state and home to attractions like the Texas State Aquarium, the USS Lexington and the King Ranch. The city is fondly known as the Sparkling City by the Sea and its beaches attract thousands of visitors annually.
The Port of Corpus Christi is the sixth largest port in the nation and is active in the city economy. The port provides close to 40,000 jobs for the community. Because of its location, the city has become a place where fishing guides, bait merchants, fishing supply retailers, watercraft retailers and marine biologists have set up shop for business. Other high areas of employment are in the services field, wholesale and retail trade, and government sectors.
The area is popular for waterfowl hunting, fishing, wind surfing, kite boarding and other water and outdoor recreation. The beaches of Corpus Christi attract crowds for occasions like Spring Break and summer vacations. Popular beach spots are the Padre Island National Seashore, JP Luby Surf Park and Packery Channel, Bob Hall Pier, McGee Beach, and Corpus Christi Beach, formerly known as North Beach.
