    • demonstrations and workshops of various media and techniques
    • art shows for adults and children
    • organized visits to museums and gallery exhibits
    • field trips to “paint outside the gallery”
    • directory of local artists
    • online gallery for art club members

    Monthly Meetings
    The Art Club of McKinney meets at the Heard-Craig Gallery, 306 North Church Street, McKinney, Texas, on the 2nd Thursday of each month, August through May. The business meeting starts at 9:30 am and the program starts at 10 am.

    The program generally includes a presentation/demo by a visiting artist and, after a brief lunch break, a workshop taught by the visiting artist.

    Light refreshments and time to socialize are available at the beginning, middle, and/or end of each meeting.

    Each artist is invited to bring a piece of their work for members to enjoy and vote on. The winner receives a gift certificate and is featured on this page.
