Brazosport Center for the Arts & Sciences

See our impressive collections of dinosaur bones, shells, and more, visit our art gallery, explore space and attend a play, musical, or symphony concert.

You can do it all at The Center for the Arts & Sciences in Clute, located between Houston and the Texas Gulf Coast.

A showcase of the culture and artistic talents of the region, The Center includes the Brazosport Art League, Brazosport Center Stages community theater, Brazosport Museum of Natural Science, BASF Planetarium, and Brazosport Symphony Orchestra.

See, hear, discover, and be entertained by wonders of all kinds at The Center.

Brazosport Art League

Be inspired by the works of first-rate artists at the art gallery. Showcasing the talents of local and international art makers in exhibits that change every six weeks, each visit offers something new. Stop by the Members’ Art Shop to browse original artwork, cards, ceramics, jewelry, and one-of-a-kind gifts you can purchase to take home.

If you’re looking to create art of your own, enroll in one of the frequently held classes or workshops for kids and adults on subjects ranging from watercolor, oil, and pastel painting to mosaics and photography.

Check the Art League’s exhibit and class/workshop schedules.

Brazosport Center Stages

Sit back, relax and enjoy a play or musical by the talented actors at Brazosport Center Stages in either of their two performance spaces. As the longest-operating community theater on the Texas Gulf Coast, Center Stages produces plays and musicals from September through July in the Dow Arena Theater and the Freeport LNG Theater.

Center Stages works to enrich, educate and entertain audiences by producing high-quality and authentic theater experiences. Tickets are affordable and parking is always free.
