The Croft Art Gallery was featured in the 2010 Best of Waco issue of the Wacoan as a “Reason to Love Waco.” Martha Hopkins wrote:

“Waco’s got an art gallery. No, not a Thomas Kinkade affair. A real, live, curated gallery. Where you can buy original artwork! From talented artists! Kudos to Katie Croft for having a vision and seeing it through to a reality that we have all been able to enjoy this past year. The stark space lets the artwork shine without competing with its surroundings, and Katie’s exhibits truly celebrate local talent. Through May, Croft is showing the work of Scott Wright, a native Wacoan now living in Dallas. He focuses on multi-media paintings and three-dimensional pieces, using found objects to provide depth to the aesthetic and the context and meaning of each piece. His favorite place for picking up items for his work? It’s none other than Laverty’s Antiques Furnishings, where we’re told he has running monthly expenses that rival his mortgage.”

Where else can you tune in and hear or watch something that lifts your spirit, challenges your mind and soothes your soul? That’s what we thought. Pledge your support today!

Mary Landon Darden wrote the following about KWBU as part of the 2009 Wacoan‘s “Reasons to Love Waco:”

My favorite radio station in Texas is the local NPR affiliate KWBU-FM — 103.3 on the dial. It carries the finest available programming including “All Things Considered,” “Fresh Air,” “Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me,” “BBC World Service” and “A Prairie Home Companion,” and KWBU is increasing its production of local programming. Best yet, this is the people’s radio station — owned and supported by the public. My husband and I are Cornerstone members and give monthly to support this crown jewel of Central Texas radio broadcasting. All Wacoans should give regularly to ensure a healthy future for their station.
