ongview Museum of Fine Arts is proud to announce that, in 2024, the future home of the museum will offer many more opportunities for the community to host events in The Lone Star Gallery and 1940s Gallery. The building is truly beginning to feel like home, so we have been working hard to share that experience with you by making as much space as possible available for the community while we continue to phase out the full design of East Texas’s premier art museum.
(Bottom left) The 1940s Gallery is another space in the new building that is ready to be rented for a sundry of events.
In 2023, The Lone Star Gallery was the stomping grounds for our LMFA Live concerts and a special venue for our important State of the Museum Address. At the end of the year, the front entrance gallery featuring The Great Lone Star by Richard Lippold was a place where a few of our members celebrated milestones and monumental moments in their lives with their friends and loved ones. With the Lone Star Gallery and 1940s Gallery being ready to host your next memorable event, our historic and statuesque building offers almost 10,000 square feet of additional rentable event space to the museum’s resume. Whether it is a rehearsal dinner, wedding, graduation party, birthday, débutante party, reunion, anniversary, reception, concert, corporate event, or block party with food trucks; the possibilities are endless! Additionally, LMFA Suites is in full operation and available to professionals looking to office in a collaborative, relational space in the heartbeat of Longview. The second floor of the historic Longview National Bank building has 11 executive suites ranging from 400-600 square feet and was designed by the late architect B. W. Crain Jr. in the 1960s. Our tenants enjoy the perks of windows overlooking downtown, covered and gated parking,
