Each year, the museum brings in culturally and historically significant works from the 19th century to the present and hosts nearly a dozen curated exhibitions featuring Texas-based artists, emerging contemporary artists from across the United States, internationally established artists, and students from the East Texas region.
Longview Museum of Fine Arts is home to nearly 1,000 works of art including paintings, woodcuts, photographs, sculpture, lithographs, serigraphs, collages, and works on paper. The collection is centered around early Texas regional art from the 1930s and 1970s.
