Round Top Fine Art Festival
Art among the gardens at The Compound.
The Compound, Round Top
Each spring, The Compound's 57-acre grounds host the Round Top Fine Art Festival — juried artists, demonstrations, and open-air galleries set among the gardens, fountains, and gazebos. It's a calmer, more creative counterpoint to the antique crowds.
Wander, watch artists at work, and take home something one-of-a-kind. The park-like setting makes it as much a lovely afternoon outdoors as an art show.
What to expect
- Juried fine artists and live demonstrations
- Open-air galleries among the gardens
- A relaxed, creative atmosphere
- Beautiful grounds to stroll
Plan it right
It's a gentler alternative to the show fields — a good pick if antiquing isn't everyone's thing. Easy to combine with a spring bluebonnet drive.
