whose missions are complementary to CASETA's goals.
"Study": learning at all levels in order to discover new knowledge
and interpretation of Early Texas Art.
"Appreciation": recognizing that Early Texas Art is significant
or important.

the art heritage of Texas in such a way that it is available to future
generations for their enjoyment and study and taking proactive steps through
advocacy to ensure that this occurs.
"Texas Visual Arts": a creative work by an early Texas artist including,
but not limited to, painting, drawing, printmaking, watercolor and sculpture.

the past.
