Started in 2001, the museum's goal has been as a resource that deepened and broadened public awareness of the cultural, political, economic, and personal dimensions of art."[1] The Station Museum of Contemporary Art is currently on hiatus from public exhibitions and programming until further notice.[2] The museum has been an activist institution supporting civil society issues as well as artists who have engaged in social, political, aesthetic, economic, and/or spiritual content and expressions.
In addition to traditional exhibitions, the museum has featured monthly film-screenings, musical events, lectures, fundraisers and more which aimed to inspire a dialogue that encouraged the public awareness of the lives of others.[3] Past exhibitions include the art of many Texas artists, including Mel Chin, James Drake, Dick Wray, Jesse Lott, George Smith, as well as group exhibits.
