Smithville's Richard D. Latham Cultural District

 

 

In 2013, Smithville applied (Cultural District Application) to become a Cultural District through the Texas Commission on the Arts and it became the 25th community to achieve that standing. On September 5, 2013, the Richard D. Latham Cultural District was established.

This designation illustrates Smithville's welcoming attitude towards art and culture, and opens the door to many funding opportunities. In Fall of 2015, through a partnership between the Smithville City Council, Lost Pines Artisans Association, and Cultural District Steering Committee the Cultural District Business Plan was adopted to set goals, highlight partnerships, and provide a framework for additional action items.

For more information, contact Jill Strube at 512-237-3282 and check out what's new at the Richard D. Latham Cultural District website!
