The Art Club of McKinney, founded in 1914 in McKinney, Texas, was created to encourage the appreciation of visual art in the community. Nearly 100 years later, the club continues to support this goal with:
- monthly meetings for members and visitors
- lectures on art topics
- 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.

August 2011 Meeting
Thursday, August 11, 2011
Heard-Craig Gallery
306 North Church Street
(park in back of building and enter there)
McKinney, Texas
The Art Club of McKinney will meet again in August, 2011. Although our "new" year starts in June 2011 and ends in May 2012, we do not have regular meetings during the summer months of June and July. This website will continue to be updated through the summer months to let you know about any club activities.
The Board will continue to
meet as needed to develop an interesting and fun roster of programs for August 2011-April 2012. Committee chairpersons will be busy with the pre-planning for the art ahows and other events.
If you haven't volunteered to help with any Art Club events, please consider doing so. The more volunteers we have, the easier it is for everyone. It is a great way to get to know club members and keep our club vibrant, healthy, and fun!
Our president, Nancy Alexander, is maintaining a list of volunteers. Contact her and let her know how you can help.
Over the years, the Art Club has acquired many various and sundry items. Some of these are stored in our storage unit. Some are in safe keeping with our members. Our club is nearly 100 years old, and over time we have forgotten what we have or who is caring for them. Please help us create a list of items belonging to the Art Club, what and where they are, or who is storing them for us.
Email contact@theartclubmckinney.com with a list of items you know that the Art Club owns, and where you think they are. Thank you!!
