and camps, rotating art exhibits, community events and community service projects for the foundation, Childress said. Art exhibits rotate at The Hive every six weeks, with submissions accepted from both members and nonmembers. Aside from gallery work, the interior and exterior of The Hive are decorated by a number of creations put together by local artists, including Bee Cave-inspired paintings and sculptures by both children and adults. The organization also keeps artwork on display outside the building, including mosaic benches and decorative hangings, to make the center more visible. “We’d love to just fancy up the front of our space more, so people know it’s us,” Childress said. How it works The organization is run by volunteers, Childress said. Funding for larger events often comes from hotel occupancy tax funds, or HOT funds, granted by the city of Bee Cave. The foundation also hosts the annual Texas
Youth Music Festival in October, where young musicians from across Texas compete and participate in musical activities at the camp. Other funding comes from classes hosted by the arts foundation. “Pretty much any money we make just goes back into the next project we [are] doing,” Childress said. “Classes really [are] where we would make some money. And then we turn around and buy a ton of art supplies and pay teachers to come in and teach.” The foundation also accepts donations both at The Hive and through its website. What’s next? The organization will host its 15th anniversary celebration on Aug. 30. The event will begin with a tour of the foundation’s sculpture park, followed by artist talks and awards at The Hive in the Hill Country Galleria. Music, craft stations, birthday cake and balloons will be featured at the event, as well as face painting, Childress said.
Both members and non-members can submit artwork to be displayed at The Hive’s rotating gallery.
