About the Art Consortium of the Texas Gulf Coast The Arts Consortium brings together artists, organizations and art enthusiasts to advocate, promote and provide opportunities to create and celebrate the arts for all residents and visitors. The Art Consortium of the Texas Gulf Coast believes that the arts should be universal, affordable and accessible to everyone regardless of age, capacity, limitations or language. The arts build community, add to the beauty of our environment, record our history, are an economic boon and create opportunities for breaking down barriers, reducing levels of intimidation and building bridges. The Art Consortium of the Texas Gulf Coast further believes integrity, consistency, diversity, fiscal responsibility, originality and the power of collaboration are mandates for a successful arts organization.

FEATURED ARTIST
Ruth Burke
As a professional art photographer, Ruth Burke has many publishing credits to her name. Her images have been featured in national and regional books and magazines such as Conde Nast Traveler, Texas Highways, Metropolitan Home, Bay Runner and Gulfscapes. Currently, she self-publishes many of her images in unique editions on canvas and rag paper. Ruth developed her sea shell photography series while playing with her three daughters on the beach. She loved swimming in the ocean and spending time at the beach. She often entertained her children by taking them and their friends to the beach. She always brought her camera to photograph the children building sand castles and playing. They would collect sea shells together, and soon she was placing the shells on the beach, photographing them with the surf. Ruth then began to bring seashells and sand dollars from her collection to photograph on the beach with the surf. Ruth’s early collection of Texas Gulf Coast scenes from Seabrook and the Kemah Boardwalk and waterfront scenes from the late 1970’s and early 1980’s were created while she was studying photography and art in college. She needed images for her assignments, so she photographed the waterfront area where there were numerous angles with unique compositions. She did not realize that she was recording history that would soon change when Hurricane Alicia hit the Texas Gulf Coast in 1983. Then in 1986 the drawbridge between the two communities was replaced with a fixed span bridge. This greatly changed the landscape of the area and brought in major developers. While docked shrimp boats were once the main part of the scenery, restaurants now line the waterfronts, becoming the playground for the city dwellers from Houston. Ruth opened the Seaside Gallery in 1989 in the waterfront community of Seabrook, Texas. Ruth’s original location overlooked the Back Bay at 1105 Second Street in the 1920’s Harrel home (the building was destroyed in 2008 by Hurricane Ike). In 1999 she relocated to the commercial district near NASA’s Johnson Space Center at 204 Kirby. The gallery features an extensive collection of Ruth Burke’s art photography and also offers many custom services including picture framing and print sizes.
