Seating is limited, and interested individuals are asked to email museandmerlot@gmail.com to reserve a spot.
The Brownwood Art Association recently celebrated it’s 90th anniversary and is one of the oldest established art associations in the state of Texas. The association regularly holds receptions for selected artists of the month, which are free and open to the public, on the first Thursday of each month.
