Mission
​

 Hallet Oak Foundation Incorporated

Our mission is to provide a vibrant center in downtown Hallettsville for people to explore and enjoy an art, performance, and learning center.  As a non-profit foundation, we’re divided into two parts: the Hallet Oak Gallery and Friends of Hallettsville Downtown Revitalization.


Located in the historic Kahn & Stanzel Building, the Hallet Oak Gallery exhibits artworks from more than 20 regional and international artists. The gallery regularly provides meet-and-greets with the artists and offers educational workshops, classes, evening lectures, musical events, and movies pertaining to the arts.


The Friends of Hallettsville Downtown Revitalization organization is dedicated to preserving the history of the town through guided tours, cultural activities, and fund-raising community events.


Vision
To offer the people of Hallettsville and surrounding Lavaca County a lively new home to experience, explore, and enjoy cultural arts. The long-term result of this effort will be to deepen the community’s appreciation for art and culture.

Our History

History: The Hallet Oak Galley has been in operation since March 17, 2015, formed by Mieko Mahi with the generous help of thirteen volunteers, numerous patrons and supporters. On February 26, 2016, Hallet Oak Gallery was Incorporated as a non-profit organization supporting arts and cultural education through operation of the Hallet Oak Gallery and Friends of Downtown Revitalization. Founders are Mieko Mahi, Claire Scoggin, and Alice Vickers.

How We Work

The gallery plans events a year in advance.  In 2016 hotel funds have been used for advertising and for some speaker and musician fees.  Sponsors and donors help with advertising expense.  Artists and others in the community volunteer time, expertise, and materials.  Arts engagement, cultural planning, and design projects from the Friends of Downtown Revitalization sector will increase art landmarks and beautification as well as added safety to our small town.
