Reception Saturday, May 9 | 5-7PM
A Layered Space: Coming Up For Air (v.6) expands this approach by transforming plants and trees into elaborate, hybrid forms. Arnold combines real branches with Canvas Peel leaves and flowers from multiple species, alongside unexpected materials such as scraps from her Closet Series. Wedding dress satin, plaid, and denim are reimagined as foliage, collapsing distinctions between the natural and the domestic. Acting as a horticulturist of this strange landscape, Arnold aims to “almost overwhelm the viewer with a landscape totally twisted up—like elements our minds develop while we sleep, with blended memories and objects.”

2026-07-05 10:00 - 18:00 | 1500 E. Laurel, 1500 E. Laurel, Rockport, TX, United States
Welcome to the 2026 Rockport Art Festival
Founded in 1969, the Rockport Art Festival began as a celebration of creativity in Rockport, Texas—then an emerging art colony along the Texas Coast. Today, it has become a beloved summer tradition, bringing together more than 120 artists and over 10,000 collectors and visitors each year.
The festival plays an important role in supporting the mission of Rockport Center for the Arts. Proceeds help provide free youth art education programs, support local and regional artists, and sustain exhibitions, outreach, and community events throughout the year. Through these efforts, the festival helps ensure that the arts remain accessible, vibrant, and deeply connected to the community.
