If you're cruisin’ through the wild beauty of West Texas and your GPS lands you in Alpine, stop what you're doing and head straight to Earth and Fire Gallery—seriously, it’s a local treasure hiding in plain sight and it's got all the creative, colorful, small-town vibes you didn’t know you were craving. This place is more than just a gallery—it's a whole experience packed with handcrafted art, friendly faces, and the kind of Texas spirit you can’t buy off Amazon. Located smack dab in the heart of downtown Alpine, just off W Holland Ave, this cooperative gallery showcases artwork from over a dozen regional artists who pour their hearts, souls, and desert dust into their work.
