Contracommon is accepting applications from artists for a booth-style holiday exhibition in our gallery. The Merry Makers Market will be on view from November 27th through December 31st, 2026.
Deadline: October 9th, 2026 at 11:59 PM
The exhibition highlights Salvador Rodríguez’s panoramic acrylic paintings inspired by the vast expanses of the west Texas desert, capturing not only the flora and fauna of the desert but creating the invisible flow of the landscape and its spirit through composed experiences.
Sublime Landscapes of Big Bend will be on view from September 26th through November 1st, 2026. The gallery is open Friday through Sunday from 12pm – 6pm, with private viewing appointments available Monday - Thursday upon request at calendly.com/contracommon.
Learn the basics of lead came construction and assemble a stained glass suncatcher at Meanwhile Brewing Co.
For October, students will make a stained glass spiderweb with a hanging spider charm.
Bring nothing and leave with your very own work of stained glass art! Hosted by Deke Cameron, AKA The Glassclown.
You bring the art, we bring the drinks!
Join Contracommon artists for our monthly art happy hour combining community and creativity. Bring a project of your own (drawing or otherwise), or start something new! We’ll have some supplies to share.

It’s the perfect time to get inspiration in the gallery and make some art of your own. Completely free to attend, with refreshments generously provided by our sponsors.
