Apache Arts and Crafts Center

The Apache Arts and Crafts Center is an art gallery and museum at Fort Cavazos that houses multiple studios and work spaces. The facility features extensive ceramics equipment, a fully equipped wood workshop, and other specialized areas for different craft techniques.

The center was established at Fort Cavazos, previously known as Fort Hood, which has long served the military community. The current location in Building 2337 was later developed as an arts facility to give soldiers and their families creative opportunities.

The center runs art classes designed specifically for those in military service, veterans, and Defense Department civilians to process their experiences creatively. These programs give people from the base community a way to express themselves through hands-on making.

Visiting typically works best in the afternoon and evening on weekdays, or in the morning through early afternoon on weekends. The staff regularly offers safety training and various art classes, so check directly at the center about current offerings and your interests.

Visitors regularly receive free safety training and craft instruction where they can learn to build furniture and operate laser engravers. This hands-on skill-building is not commonly found in typical art museums.
