Fire House Nac

11/17/2025

This will be Fire House Nac's 5th Annual Art Exchange! 🔥

We invite everyone to bring one *hand-made by you* gift to exchange for another piece of local art made by a fellow community member.

This works like a White Elephant but every gift is a personal handmade piece of art. The point is to inspire everyone to get creative this holiday season. Plus, you get something cool in return 🎁

Here is the breakdown-

🖼 One gift per person to be exchanged

🎨 All skill levels are welcome, we just want people to create!

🙏 Wrap your gift- if you do not have time or the supplies we may have extra paper or bags, just let us know.

💝 Gifts will be numbered at random and we will draw numbers for the exchange.

🎉 All mediums welcome.
We have had everything from paintings to stained glass and mixtapes in the past.

🔮 We will be playing Labyrinth on the TV during the event. Feel free to dress accordingly ✨️

Movie starts at 8pm
Art Exchange will begin at 9pm
Drinks provided by The Madhatter Distillery 🍸

A few lil pics & videos from over the weekend
🔥 🔥 🔥

Shout out to our collective member Shelby Wardlaw from Wild Earth Studio who did TWO successful events this weekend back to back!

First, the Paint and Sip at The Madhatter Distillery (our favorite place to grab a drink and hang with friends) was a sold out event! Shelby created the design and helped guide participants through creating their own work of art.

Second, the Punk Rock Flea Market & Open Mic Night in Nac was absolutely amazing. We had some out of town folks and local favorites stop by to play us some tunes inside while people outside were able to create unique patches, shop fun bracelets from Zach Makes Bracelets and beautiful ceramics from Redland Ceramics

Be on the lookout for our next event- our annual art exchange happening the day after christmas 🎁

We may organize the events but without y'all's support there would be no one to experience it with. Thank y'all for continuing to help our DIY community thrive ❤️🔥

NAC RAT SALON

Hosted by Brigette Kozash in collaboration with the Nacogdoches Arts Collaborative ~

This is an event aimed towards writers, artists, thinkers that want to discuss how our work relates to social commentary of our current society. We ask anyone who writes zines, poetry, prose, social commentary, creates art with societal commentary, or wants to contribute to the conversation to come!

There will be a SIGN UP SHEET for folks who want to read or present their work and discuss it.

Wednesday, September 3rd from 7:30-9:30pm, we will be gathering at the NAC Annex (behind the Fredonia Brewery, next to the Live Oak Listening Room) to share our work and thoughts with each other.

We are so stoked to see y'all come out to our first NAC RAT SALON and hope to continue them if there is interest.

You can RSVP at Nac Rat Salon

See you then!
