On May 12, local artists were invited by State Representatives Charles "Doc" Anderson and Kyle Kacal to display art in the lower rotunda of the Texas State Capitol. Artists, city and state leaders, supporters of the arts and drivers in the cultural growth of Waco gathered at the Texas State Capitol for the launch of Waco 52, an exhibition about Waco and creatives who call it home.

Check out photos from the Waco 52 VIP Launch below, and be sure to keep an eye out: *we'll soon be releasing the date and location of a Waco-area exhibition of Waco 52!*
