The Fredericksburg Art Guild is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded more than fifty years ago by artist John McClusky to support art in the Texas Hill Country. All Guild members live in the Texas Hill Country, and participate in four seasonal three-month shows in the Gallery, at 308 E. Austin Street in Fredericksburg In months when special events are not taking place, a Guild artist is featured in the main Gallery, and the public is invited to celebrate during First Friday Art Walk by meeting the Artist of the Month and enjoying complimentary wine and refreshments.
Guild members Truby Hardin, Nan Henke and Marion Loucks teach oil painting and watercolor, and in February their students are honored with an art exhibit in the main gallery. The Guild’s annual Juried Show in May features not only Guild artists, but is open to artists throughout the Hill Country. In October through support of the Pedernales Creative Art Alliance (PCAA), the Guild has a tent at Oktoberfest.
In addition to PCAA the Guild receives support from the City of Fredericksburg Hotel/Motel Occupancy Tax funds through a yearly grant. The art of Guild artists is for sale in the Gallery, and a portion of each sale helps support the Guild. A calendar of Guild events and online art sales are available on the Guild’s website, www.fredericksburgartguild.com.

Die Künstler von Fredericksburg means “The Artists of Fredericksburg” in German; however, most people refer to the group as DK. Founded in 1991, the club also provides scholarships for membership to middle and high school students who may then participate in its annual shows.
DK’s purpose is to promote art appreciation and education in Fredericksburg and the Texas Hill Country for artists at every level of experience. The group meets at 5:00 p.m. on the first Thursday of the month at Gillespie County Historical Society, 312 West San Antonio Street. Meetings are free and open to the public and include live demonstrations by noted artists.

In 2001 Fredericksburg native Kathy Weigand took the plunge and opened a studio showroom in Fredericksburg TX. By 2005, a new concept of a Hill Country e-commerce online art gallery representing local and Texas artists began to grow, and WesternGalleries.com was established.
Launched Sept 2023, First Friday Art Walk Online is a rotating curated collection of new works by represented artists and invited guests. The online exhibits open on the first friday, similar to other local Fredericksburg First Friday Art Walk events. And with this online shopping option, art clients from across the USA can view new Texas art.

Debbie and Mike Wilson own Rivers Edge, “The Jewel of Kerrville.” The 20,000-square-foot gallery also offers fine art printing and custom framing. The Wilsons can make copies of photographs or paintings and print them on fine art canvas or paper. They also clean and repair oil paintings.
“I’m not trying to be an upper-end gallery. I want to be a middle-class gallery, where they walk in and the artwork is affordable,” Debbie Wilson said. “We’re the best-kept secret in Kerrville.”
Rivers Edge represents over 20 artists, including painters, sculptors and jewelry-makers. The gallery’s eclectic offerings include traditional and contemporary works. Wilson specializes in conservation of family heirlooms, priceless art and vintage photographs.
“I do 3-D objects, like flags, Army uniforms. My favorite one was a CIA agent’s guns and handcuffs and badges,” Wilson said. “I do a lot of things that other frame shops have no idea how to do. When I frame it, you can’t even tell how it’s attached.” She loves hearing the stories customers bring with their valued heirlooms and the trust they place in Rivers Edge to preserve their treasures. “We try to save our customers as much money as possible but give them the art they deserve,” Wilson said.

InSight Gallery represents a select group of today’s finest painters and sculptors. The 60 nationally recognized, award-winning artists are American Impressionist Society Masters, Cowboy Artists of America, Master Oil Painters of America and Pastel Society of America Masters. These artists are invited to participate in prestigious national museum shows, including Prix de West, Autry/Masters of the American West, Briscoe Museum’s “Night of Artists” and Eiteljorg Museum’s “Quest for the West.”
“Amid such esteemed artists, we strive to provide a welcoming and hospitable environment so that art collectors, art lovers and art novices alike can come and enjoy the experience,” said Elizabeth Harris, who has owned and operated the gallery with her husband, Stephen, since 2015.
The gallery is located in the 1907 Schwarz building, which was restored in 2010. InSight Gallery staff shows everyone who walks in the door Fredericksburg hospitality.
“We realize how fortunate we are to have this location — 8,000 square feet of open show space — tall ceilings, lots of natural light, original pine floors, original rock walls. It was an immaculate restoration,” she said.
For First Friday Art Walk, InSight Gallery remains open until 7:30 p.m.
