Marina Arts District

Corpus Christi art! The Marina Arts District is an area in downtown Corpus that celebrates the arts! This area is abundant with things to do- check out local art, street performers, stroll around and have beer and pizza, tattoos and bars! This place is a fun place to spend some time while in the downtown area. The Arts District is marked with colorful sidewalks, and sculptures. My favorite part is the decorated electrical boxes- they're done in the Finnish style of Sähkökaappitaide, each box is decorated by a different artist, mostly in a local theme- seaside and nautical themes, along with paintings of local heroes and flowers. So cool! It's a really neat way to get some local flavor onto the streets. Don't go graffiti up a box on your own, they seem to be curated by some civic authority who maintains them. There's some cool murals throughout the area as well. There's plenty of parks in the District- check out La Retama Park that has the First Friday arts walk. It's located in the heart of the Arts District. The Marina Arts District runs from Kinney Street to I-37, and Lower Broadway to the Corpus Christi Marina L and T-Heads.
