ROCKPORT CULTURAL ARTS DISTRICT - Why We’re Here Is Simple...

The mission and objectives of the District are to strengthen and preserve Rockport’s unique reputation as a significant artistic community and be a resource for residents and visitors. The District’s goals are focused on continued economic development through marketing the many facets of tourism within the District.

- Enhance economic development of the downtown in Rockport’s Cultural Arts District through marketing the unique cultural heritage of Rockport

- Participate in value-added activities that leverage the mission of partner non-profits, visual, performing, culinary and literary artists

- Create an identity for RCAD which builds on the distinct nature of the district- the Harbor front, historic downtown, individual cultural institutions and natural environment of the bay- and results in attracting new visitors, creative entrepreneurs and residents to Rockport in revitalizing our community

- Expand the awareness of Rockport Cultural Arts District as a central neighborhood of the Rockport-Fulton and Aransas County region which has been a major Texas coastal resource since the 1800’s
