The Art Dept is owned by Lea and Brent Goates and was created to be both a place for artists to find community, as well as a place for the community to explore and celebrate art.
Lea earned her BFA from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor and spent over 17 years in a corporate environment serving B2B clients in their workplaces. She then served as a visiting assistant visual arts professor at UMHB prior to opening The Art Dept. She and Brent also owns the adjoining business, The Wreck Center, in downtown Temple.
From a complete studio space with membership available, to regular classes and workshops for every skill level and interest, The Art Dept will have something to spark creativity in everyone.
Bring your love of art, your desire to create, or simply your curiosity and join in the adventure!
