Galveston Island Arts & Entertainment

Galveston's visual and performing arts culture continues to thrive as visitors browse through art galleries during the day before heading out at night to catch their favorite musicals in the heart of Historic Galveston Island.

Postoffice Street Arts & Entertainment District is nestled in the famous Strand National Historic Landmark District, only three short blocks from The Strand. This district is home to quaint galleries that feature various types of art from local, national and internationally recognized artists.

Every six weeks, the art galleries welcome Island visitors and Galvestonians alike into their galleries for ArtWalk; an event that provides visitors with wine and cheese while leading them through the historic streets and into boutiques and galleries.

The Grand 1894 Opera House is a year-round performing arts theater that has been restored to its original grandeur. This jewel of a Victorian-era theater (the “Official Opera House of Texas,” by the Texas legislature) is Galveston’s premier cultural venue for national-caliber performances. From stage performances to historical films to art exhibits, there’s a multitude of entertainment and inspiration to experience. In its early days the Grand stage hosted stars like Paderewski and Anna Pavlova; now it brings national shows and celebrities like Bill Cosby, Willie Nelson, Paul Anka, musicals like Cabaret and Rent, and a full season of dance, dramas, musicals and opera.

Island etc (east-end theater company) strives to present innovative and cutting-edge
productions by both known and new playwrights. Along with their unique offerings, they also produce popular favorites.

From Broadway to dance to visual arts, Galveston Island is a art-lover's paradise.
