Envisioning a future as the premier visual arts institute in America, a group of local art enthusiasts led by the late Ann Crouch founded the Amarillo Art Institute, Inc. to provide art education and appreciation for area residents. In May 24, 2004, the volunteer board of directors achieved incorporation as a non-profit organization.
Since its inception, the Amarillo Art Institute has provided arts education and instruction to thousands of children and adults in our community. We inspire, educate, and enrich lives through art.
