Later a charter was obtained from the State of Texas which set
out the purpose of the corporation in the following language:
The purpose for which this corporation is formed is the promotion
of sculpture, painting and other fine arts, and in this connection
more especially to maintain in the City of Austin the Elisabet Ney
art studio and the collection of other works of art, and a museum of
the fine arts; and generally to promote the fine arts in the State of
Texas.
Ever since its organization, the Texas Fine Arts Association has
faithfully carried on its great mission to promote and strengthen
the cause of the fine arts in Texas. On April 6, 1961, the Texas
Fine Arts Association had carried on this great task in the grand
tradition of Elisabet Ney for fifty years. During these years it con-
tributed greatly to turn into a reality Elisabet Ney's grand dream
of Texas devoting its great energies, its resources, and its wealth
to the development of the fine arts.183
