    What an exciting place to go! Live still art sessions, beautiful open spaces and an amazing exhibit as well. The purpose behind the program is to bring art to all and they have done just that!

    We really enjoyed the atmosphere here and the art exhibit. The workers were very friendly and kind, they were also very knowledgeable and helpful. Great place to go and spend an afternoon or morning touring.

    My visit to the Art Center Waco for the Kermit Oliver exhibit was nothing short of inspiring. The exhibit, titled "Hermès in the Heart of Texas: The Art of Kermit Oliver," was a remarkable display of wearable art, celebrating a 30-year collaboration between the Waco-based artist and the illustrious French Fashion House, Hermès. It was a special tribute to Oliver's 80th birthday.Kermit Oliver, a humble Texas postal worker turned scarf designer, has an extraordinary story. His transition from post office to prestige, creating sixteen silk scarf designs for Hermès, each intricately depicting American culture and history, is a tale of talent and perseverance. His designs are a vibrant fusion of his Texan roots and the sophisticated aesthetic of Hermès, making each piece not just an item of fashion but a canvas of storytelling.The exhibit itself was set within the welcoming confines of the Art Center Waco, a community-centric building that played host to this unique blend of local and global art. It was curated thoughtfully, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the world of Kermit Oliver. The setting was perfect for an artistic exploration, with the gallery’s architecture complementing the exhibit’s theme.A standout feature of the exhibit was its focus on community and the connection between local artists and global platforms. Oliver's journey from a local artist to an internationally recognized designer is a testament to the rich talent present within our communities. His work at the intersection of Texan and Vietnamese cultures adds a unique flavor to the renowned fashion brand.Visiting this exhibit at Art Center Waco was not just an artistic excursion; it was an educational experience that highlighted the power of art in bridging diverse cultures and histories. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in the intersection of local heritage and international fashion
