An architectural gem on the city's bayfront, The Art Center of Corpus Christi is home to 11 arts organizations, and showcases works from local and area artists in rotating exhibitions. The 14,400-square-foot building houses a main gallery and four studios, including a clay studio that encourages artists to complete works-in-progress in front of visitors. The Art Center also offers art classes, to express your own creativity in photos, watercolors, oils, sculpture or other media. Workshops, outreach projects and other events to promote the arts to the public are an integral part of the Art Center of Corpus Christi as well.  

If you're craving some amazing fruit treats, La Paletera is the place to be. Their fruit cups, fruit smoothies, and fruit trays are amazing. The flavors are so fresh and delicious, you really can't go wrong with any of their creations. And if you're not in the mood for fruit, they also have a great selection of ice cream, freezes, snow cones, candy, desserts, treats, and sandwiches to choose from.
