About the Border Artist Society
Border Artist Society (BAS) is a creative collective rooted in Eagle Pass, Texas, dedicated to uplifting artists and building a stronger, more connected creative community along the border.
We create spaces where artists of all levels can come together, share ideas, and grow. Through free gatherings, workshops, and public activations, BAS centers creativity as a tool for connection, expression, and community care.
Programs & Initiatives
Border Artist Society creates programs that celebrate, uplift, and expand what it means to be an artist in the borderlands.
Through community and juried exhibitions, workshops, and public activations, we have served over 500 individuals and showcased the work of more than 100 artists from across the United States and Mexico. Our work has been recognized by national platforms including CBS Mornings, NPR, and Texas Public Radio for helping shift the narrative around border communities into one rooted in creativity, cultural pride, and connection.

As we continue to expand, we are also bringing film and media into our programming through initiatives like MIRAAA Media Fest, opening new pathways for creative expression and regional collaboration.
