Arts · Culture · Creative Economy of West Texas

Cultura West is a porch — wide enough for an artist, a neighbor, a patron, and the next generation of all three.

A multi-program nonprofit cultivating West Texas creativity — from the Midland Art Crawl to a curated Gallery Program inside the region's most-visited spaces.

Our Programs

One umbrella, a growing slate of programs.

Midland Art Crawl is our flagship. The Gallery Program at Midland Memorial Hospital is our most visible new initiative. Together they make West Texas culture visible, hireable, and fundable.

Flagship Program

Midland Art Crawl

The region's signature creative gathering — artists, venues, and neighbors filling the streets four times a year.

Foundation-ready

A 501(c)(3) public charity built for trust.

Cultura West is a 501(c)(3) public charity. EIN 92-3680378. Our governance, financials, and theory of change are public — because foundation officers arrive with a checklist, and the porch should meet it.
