Got Creativity?
Sugar Land Art Center & Gallery offers a variety of specialty workshops and camps for adults and children, as well as children of all ages. These workshops and camps cover everything from photography, sculpture, watercolor, mixed media, and even marketing tools for artists.

• Classes and Lessons
We currently have over 20 artists teaching regular classes and private lessons. Whether you are just getting started and want to learn the basics, or have been painting for years and are looking for a fun, creative environment to work and collaborate in, we have a class for you. Weekends and after-school classes are available, as well as several weekday options. Please visit the “current teachers and class schedules” section of our website for more information.
• Artists’ Studios
Sugar Land Art Center currently has 17 studio spaces, which are rented to local artists. These studios provide our artists not only with ample space to create, but also a community of other artists, which can lead to impromptu critiques, collaborations, and dialogue. To check for availability, call 281-565-0957 or stop by anytime!
• Gallery
We are proud to display the work of over 30 local artists in our gallery. All of these artists are members of the Sugar Land Artists Guild, and they display a wide range of medium, including watercolor, acrylic, oil painting, graphite, sculpture and ceramics, glass art, art dolls, and more. New art is hung every two months, so there will always be something new to fall in love with. Stop by or contact us by phone if you’re interested in making a purchase.
