INSTRUCTORS
ART SHOW
JUNE 27 - JULY 12
At Inspired Minds Art Center, creativity doesn’t stop in the classroom. It radiates from the very people who teach it. This special two-week exhibit celebrates the extraordinary talent and diverse artistic voices of our instructors. Each piece on display is created by the artists who guide our students in drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, fiber arts, mixed media, and beyond.
In addition to showcasing their personal work, many instructors have chosen pieces that reflect the techniques and styles they bring into their classes. Visitors can experience the unique perspectives behind the teaching and get inspired to learn from the artists themselves.
Come see what our instructors create when they’re not teaching, and maybe even find your next class along the way!

Winner of the 2025 Buda Art Brawl!
Based in Austin, Christopher Powell is an oil painter drawn to the expressive power of light and shadow to convey emotion and invite the viewer into each piece. His work spans a range of subjects, including landscapes, figures, and imaginative scenes rooted in fantasy and whimsy. Inspired by both literary and real-life experiences, Powell blends a personal narrative with broader storytelling tradition. This reflects the belief that painted images, as one of the oldest forms of recorded communication, still remain a powerful way to share our stories.

"My hope/goal is that our art collection be donated to aid in the furtherance of quality art involvement to enrich the lives of the future"
- Susan Amster
To support arts education and contribute to arts enrichment for years to come, Susan and Stephanie Amster have donated their personal collection of over 150 valuable artworks acquired over the past 65 years that have been created by artists from around the globe. In the spring of '22, the sale of this artwork seeded the brand new non-profit, Tandem Arts Partnership, which provided access to the arts for our underserved communities.
The proceeds from sales funded arts education programs for the community through Tandem Arts Partnership non-profit.
