This is no yoke – some of the most unusual works of art in West Texas can be found at the Chicken Farm Art Center.

Opened in 1971‚ the center – and‚ yes‚ it was formerly the site of a large chicken farm – is now a complex of two galleries‚ 15 artist studios‚ a bed-and-breakfast operation and the Silo House Restaurant. The main objective of the San Angelo attraction is to trumpet the accomplishments of local artists. Visitors can see the artists at work‚ as well as have the opportunity to purchase one-of-a-kind artwork.

The Chicken Farm hosts three main showings each year – at a San Angelo Ceramic Festival‚ a Blacksmith Fellowship event and a three-day Thanksgiving Open House.
