Honoring the Past. Writing the Future.

  • Dream it.

    Royer Foundation is excited to acquire 904 S. 5th Street as a permanent community asset, transforming this historic home into a public museum, art gallery, and writers’ guild for Bell County. We aim to bring the property up to ADA standards, ensuring accessibility while preserving its rich history and cultural significance.

  • Build it.

    With over $500,000 in art and the rich legacy of the Barclay Literary and Fine Arts Contest, we are proud to create a center that honors Temple’s heritage while inspiring future generations. Our vision blends history, culture, and community, building a lasting connection between the past and the possibilities ahead.

  • Grow it.

    By collaborating with former Louzelle Rose Barclay Literary Award winners, Texas authors, community leaders, and local businesses, we will establish an annual week-long Writers’ Guild Workshop. In addition, we will offer weekly and monthly classes focused on creative writing, the arts, and gardening, fostering creativity and growth within our community.

Help us take Temple 98.7 FM to the airwaves as Temple’s first community radio station.
