From the ArtCentre of Plano:
“The ArtCentre of Plano is pleased to announce its next exhibition, the first of Its kind in North Texas, Texas Sculpts. This exhibit will bring together nine outstanding, well-known North Texas sculptors for a nearly three-month exhibition of their works. Opening on June 4, Texas Sculpts will run until August 27, 2022, and is expected to draw thousands of visitors.
The ArtCentre’s Executive Director Suzy Jones, says, “This exhibition is the fore-runner of what we anticipate to expand in the future into an exciting outdoor sculpture exhibition that will take advantage of the beautiful Haggard Park in downtown Plano. Though Texas Sculpts will be housed in the interior of the ArtCentre located in the historic Saigling House this year, we expect it to grow over the years.”
Amy Darrow, exhibition chair and former ArtCentre Board President, says, “We are so proud of the group of sculptors whom we have invited to participate in Texas Sculpts. They represent the highest quality talent in the field. A very selective committee chose them after extensive research, and we are confident that visitors will greatly enjoy the show, and will find outstanding pieces to add to their collection.”
The ArtCentre of Plano, located at 902 E. 16th St., is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visitors are asked to call in advance to ensure that a private event is not occurring at the Centre.
