Come out and support the CCS Artist in Residence Program. A portion of the proceeds from the show go to maintaining the Laguna Madre Field Station.

Our latest Artist in Residence, Jacob Augs, will be showing his work at the Art Center of Corpus Christi from July 5-July 28, 2017. He will be displaying pieces that he was inspired to create during his stay at the Laguna Madre Field Station.

There will be a chance to meet the artist on July 5, 2017 from 5-7 pm, so come out and help support this worthy cause!
