From the Executive Director In the second quarter of 2024, the museum operating at both of our locations, with select hours at 213 N Fredonia St, making art and event space even more accessible to the community and the region. With these two locations, visitors will have more opportunities to immerse themselves in art and explore the historic bank building’s newly opened 1940s gallery space. See our website for the N Fredonia St location hours. The museum has curated an exciting lineup of exhibits for 2024, showcasing the works of regionally known artists and artists from around the world through our permanent collection. Visitors can expect a diverse range of mediums and styles, ensuring a truly enriching experience that will captivate the experienced art lover and the novice. In addition to the exhibits, the museum has planned a series of concerts and special events throughout the year, making LMFA a communal gathering space for tourists and residents to engage in dialogue, expression, and learning about each other and the world around them. These events will foster the intersection of stunning art and live music. The museum’s expansion and commitment to providing a wide range of cultural experiences will make Longview an art destination. With its two locations and a calendar full of exciting events, the museum is working to establish itself as a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts. Whether you’re a local or a visitor from out of town, a trip to the LMFA is sure to leave you inspired and enriched by the power of art and pleasantly surprised to find this quality of exhibitions and programming in our little part of East Texas.
