Texan was founded more than 20 years ago, by two adventurous mums, as a unique forum for artists and designers graduating from Tech and Art Schools to show-case their work, who hadn't quite reached the "gallery" stage but wanted to make a living from selling art. That's where our name came from - a bit of a play on words: Get it? Tech n’ Art schools - say it 3 times quickly! From those bold beginnings to nowadays, Texan stores, represent over 100 artists with thousands of different items on our shelves. Our philosophy we live by is about Giving, Inspiring and Growing Giving, a gift to someone or maybe to yourself brings happiness and that is the ultimate in life - to be happy! Inspiring, is what we set out to do every day for our customers and our wonderful teams .Our products come from inspired artists using their talents and by sharing this inspiration we hope that in some little way it can be the catalyst for something bigger for you. Growing our awesome and unique company is the path we are on. We are driven to grow our people, suppliers and customers into achieving all they dream of. Give, Inspire and Grow The name was changed in 2018 to reflect the artists and people the business represents hence it is now known as Creative & Brave
