Mainly Art — Spring Market on Main Street

Round Rock’s Mainly Art market returns Saturday, April 25, with local artists set up downtown from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (roundrocktexas.gov) The City of Round Rock says the event is part of its Mainly Art series, a free program that gives visual artists space to show and sell work. The April 25 market is scheduled on Main Street in the Downtown Paseo next to the City Arts Center. (roundrocktexas.gov, roundrocktexas.gov) City listings say 15 different visual artists take part each month, and the spring season runs once a month from March to June in Prete Plaza and the downtown Paseo. Free parking is listed at the City Hall garage, the Round Rock Public Library garage, and on nearby downtown streets. (roundrocktexas.gov, roundrocktexas.gov) The April 25 edition also includes Rrock the Block with Round Rock Independent School District Fine Arts, with a student art exhibition, live music, and take-and-make activity stations. The city says the City Arts Center will be open during the market with art for sale and an artist talk. (roundrocktexas.gov) Round Rock’s Arts and Culture office says the program is meant to support artists and add activity to downtown. The city describes arts programming as part of its broader effort to add value to downtown Round Rock and other parts of the community. (roundrocktexas.gov, roundrocktexas.gov) The series has also replaced an older format: the city says Mainly Art was formerly called the Round Rock PopUp Art Shows series. Artist directories are posted through each month’s calendar entry on the city’s Mainly Art page. (roundrocktexas.gov, roundrocktexas.gov) For visitors, the setup is simple: head to 216 East Main Street in downtown Round Rock on April 25 and expect an outdoor market built around art sales, student work, and family activities. The next spring dates already on the city calendar are May 16 and June 27. (roundrocktexas.gov, roundrocktexas.gov)
