Kingsbury Town Hall— Overview
“The Kingsbury Commons Project: An arts and agricultural community project in Kingsbury, TX.” Filmed and produced by Jessica Gardner.
This transformative project seeks to reimagine Downtown Kingsbury as a community hub.
“I never thought a piece of utopia could be found in the middle of Texas.”
– Alicia Grullón, Hyperallergic, 2026
Since we first planted our roots in 2012, we have been passionate about strengthening our community through arts and culture, working closely with the Kingsbury City Council.
In this new phase of growth, we will work hand in hand with our community to make downtown Kingsbury a destination for gathering.
In 2024 the City of Kingsbury acquired a property downtown to be transformed into the Kingsbury City Hall. After extensive renovations the city hall has become functional as just that, however, we are pushing these renovations a step further. Our city was founded on the care for every neighbor, so it only seemed right that city hall would serve with the same values.
The completed city hall will function as a source of entertainment, education, emergency shelter, and a multi-faceted resource for everyone.

Kingsbury Commons— Action
Our Town
In September of 2025 we were awarded the Our Town Grant, courtesy of the National Endowment for the Arts. This Grant has allowed us to start one of our largest public projects yet.
This grant has allowed us to kick off the first phase of the Kingsbury Commons Project. We have been laying the plans for a perennial food forest on the Habitable Spaces Campus, as well as a community space surrounding the City Hall. The City Hall will feature a community garden, a solar pavilion, water collection cisterns, and a sculptural water feature. Across the duration of this grant project, we will be hosting workshops on soil cultivation, planting, tile making, and more. Our end-of-year show in 2026 and 2027 will feature work produced by our resident artists as well as photos from the year. To pull everything together, at the end of the project, we will host a showing of a feature-length documentary which will include exclusive footage from behind-the-scenes.
