We are, of course, more than happy to provide answers and often find ourselves talking about practical things like [funding opportunities](https://www1.creativewaco.org/arts-match-program/) for local arts organizations, as well as exciting events like our [Waco 52 exhibition](https://www1.creativewaco.org/waco52/) at the State Capitol in May. But in the last couple years, one question has continued to rise: Where in Waco can I buy local art?  On the surface, it may seem as if there aren’t many places in Waco to purchase original works of art from local artists. However, that just isn’t the case. Even though Waco may not occupy the biggest plot of land in Texas, there are a number of galleries and studios across the city offering work from artists of diverse mediums and backgrounds. Creativity abounds in Waco and we have just the list to help you get your fix of original, local art. Dichotomy Christi's Interiors Christi's Interiors **1.    Christi's Interiors** is a shop owned by former "Trading Spaces" designer Christi Proctor. The store is on Upper Austin Avenue and features upscale home decor, designs, and art produced by locals.
