Bee Cave Arts Foundation was formed in 2010. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a Mission to improve the quality of life in the community and to enhance the experience of visitors by bringing awareness, education and integration of a wide range of art throughout public spaces. Since 2010, the Foundation has built the Bee Cave Sculpture Park, placed artist-created benches across Hill Country Galleria, hosted hundreds of exhibitions of student and professional artists, and offered year-round classes and summer art camps for youth.
We partner with the City of Bee Cave. Follow the link to reach the City’s website.
Bee Cave Arts Foundation maintains a community art center and exhibition space at Hill Country Galleria, The Hive, located across the street from Barnes & Noble. The Hive features artwork by local artists and students, a hands-on children’s art area, community service projects for volunteers, and art classes for adults and children.
