Art-centric Lockhart is booming with new galleries, restaurants, taverns, cafes, antiques and local history.
Most suspect in terms of Austin creep was the Soundwaves Art Foundation. The sidewalk come-on was a sandwich board that read “Come see original artwork signed by Willie Nelson,” with a little chalk drawing of a cowboy hat. Locations for the gallery gilded on the front doors read “Lockhart” and “London.”
However, the more locally-focused Commerce Gallery on the square was packed with patrons, and co-owner Donna Blair cut an interview short to finish making what she said was a big sale, leaving me with her colleague Tamara Carlisle to ponder paintings by San Antonio’s own Cruz Ortiz in the back room. After 11 years in business, Cernoch has absorbed enough Texas culture to ask, when I inquired about the selection of bolo ties, “strolling or regular?” I chose a sweet strolling model with a turquoise slide and matching leather cord.had a curious sticker on sale visible right when you walk inside. It read “Don’t Austin my Lockhart.”, another ex-Austinite who found her place when she left her hometown.
