About Us

The Art Business Incubator South Padre Island (ABISPI) is a vibrant creative hub located in the heart of the island’s Arts & Entertainment district. We offer visitors an immersive, ever-changing experience where local art meets coastal charm. Step into our gallery to explore original works by emerging artists, shop for unique handmade pieces, and witness creativity in action through live demonstrations and interactive events. Whether you're a casual beachgoer or a dedicated art lover, ABISPI invites you to connect with the artistic soul of South Padre Island.

ABISPI isn't just a gallery—it’s an experience. Our space is always buzzing with creative energy, featuring new artwork, special exhibits, and seasonal showcases that reflect the spirit of the island. Visitors can watch artists at work, enjoy artist-led workshops, or take home one-of-a-kind souvenirs that support South Padre's growing creative economy. A visit to ABISPI offers a refreshing cultural complement to the sun, sand, and surf.

Our Mission
Our primary objective is to support the growth of art culture in our community in a way that is sustainable. ABI SPI (pronounced “abbey”, SPI) sets out to “incubate” artists who have the desire to own and operate their own art-related business on South Padre Island. The Incubator was created to nurture and establish a sufficient mass of art related businesses to allow us to market South Padre Island effectively as a beach destination that is also an arts destination.
