I took my kiddo (14m), with me and we had such a great time. We struggled but were saved by the instructor so many times and it was hilarious to see how easy it was to “save” the image each time and how great they came out. We will be back!

The Art Lounge is absolutely stunning. Shelly has a keen eye for talent and beauty, and has cultivated a space in which a diverse array of artists and art lovers can come to see, experience or create something they will treasure. I could not encourage checking out the Art Lounge and their events more!

The Art Lounge is a gallery where art, music, and ambience intertwine seamlessly. On South Padre Island in a warehouse on the Marina, it has become an artistic hub for artists, music lovers, the local community, visitors from far and wide, and art collectors. The gallery proudly showcases a diverse array of artists, each bringing their own unique voice and perspective to the space. I am pleased to say that I am one of those artists! Shelly Hamsa is the owner and director of the gallery; she is also an artist. Her passion and dedication to the ARTS is what feeds the success of each event and the gallery in general. She is personal and friendly and is brilliant at building connections between artists and art lovers, serving her community, and she is a visionary in her own right.
Whether you’re a seasoned art aficionado or simply looking for a place to unwind and soak in some beauty, The Art Lounge offers a perfect blend of relaxation and inspiration. Its coastal charm, combined with a vibrant, diverse artistic lineup, makes it a must-visit destination that will leave you eagerly anticipating your next visit. The rotating exhibits ensure that there’s always something new and exciting to discover.

This gallery is awesome as well as the staff! I attended seashell painting workshop and it was so fun! Shelly is very friendly, charismatic, and a great artist. She also went out of her way to recommend some activities to do on the island. I look forward to visiting the art lounge again in the future.
