The Price Center’s outdoor permanent art gallery is expanding with the addition of a new Tiny Garden Gallery (TGG) being installed just inside the main archway entrance of the front garden. This new gallery space will feature tiny art submitted from the San Marcos community. The TGG, a former Little Free Library, was donated by local artist Karen Cross, and repurposed by Texas State University interns, Rachel Trout and Hannah Comstock. The new art exhibition space is slated to officially open in the garden next month.
