Founded in 1969, the Rockport Art Festival began as a celebration of creativity in Rockport, Texas—then an emerging art colony along the Texas Coast. Today, it has become a beloved summer tradition, bringing together more than 120 artists and over 10,000 collectors and visitors each year.
The festival plays an important role in supporting the mission of Rockport Center for the Arts. Proceeds help provide free youth art education programs, support local and regional artists, and sustain exhibitions, outreach, and community events throughout the year. Through these efforts, the festival helps ensure that the arts remain accessible, vibrant, and deeply connected to the community.
