GALLERIES
ALPINE
LANNA DUNCAN, Cactus Fountain Studio
There's always something fun happening in Alpine. With a population of almost 6,000,
Alpine is the largest town in the Big Bend Region of Texas. It's the seat of Brewster County
and home to Sul Ross State University and the Museum of the Big Bend. From May
through July, visitors can cheer for the Alpine Cowboys professional baseball team at
historic Kokernot Field, which Texas Monthly magazine dubbed "The Yankee Stadium of
Texas." The almost-perfect weather offers plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy the
views from Alpine Country Club and its charming nine-hole golf course.
There are over 20 art galleries, but you don't have to visit a gallery to view art in Alpine.
From banks to restaurants to motels, local businesses proudly display the work of local
artists. Two member-run artists’ cooperatives, CatchLight Art Gallery and Gallery on the
Square, sit side-by-side on Holland Avenue showcasing the wide variety of regional talent.
Annual events include the Texas Cowboy Poetry Gathering (February), Trappings of
Texas (April/May), Clayworks Ceramics Show (May), Viva Big Bend Music Festival (July),
Big Bend Ranch Rodeo (August) and Artwalk (November). Alpine is a unique blending of
cultures, talents and energies that create a place where everyone feels at home. Relax.
Recharge. Enjoy.
