Connections

EGuide Magazine is an event-driven magazine devoted exclusively to Things to Do in Tyler and surrounding towns. We cover Dining, Movies, Books, Festivals, Outdoors, Music, Christian Events, Theater, Fine Art and tons more!

Artists and Art lovers who join together to help each other grow in their skills in a fun and supportive environment with monthly demonstrations and a yearly organized and judged Art Show that occurs in conjunction with the Tyler Rose Festival. 

Tyler boasts a full spectrum of performing and fine art venues including a nationally recognized “premier” small-town art museum attracting world-class exhibitions and a performing arts center featuring international touring performers!

Serving as the intersection where theatre patrons, artists, and students meet; the mission of the Texas Shakespeare Festival is to give everyone who crosses our threshold a high-caliber theatrical experience; one that is rare for rural East Texas.

We believe the citizens of Longview and East Texas deserve an innovative, beautiful, and culturally significant museum. Lives will be enriched, minds will be enlightened, and Longview will become well-known as a city that fosters beauty, creativity, and the arts.

From the beginning, TCTC has been supported, managed and performed by voluntary involvement. A board of directors manage its affairs. Performers come from all walks of life, with varying degrees of theater experience. Other volunteers work backstage during productions at myriad other tasks.

The East Texas Youth Orchestra, Inc. (ETYO), provides exceptional musical experiences in arts education through a diverse set of programs providing performances that enrich its members and the community.
