Art Makes a Stronger Tomorrow.

This North Texas Giving Day, we invite you to help Plano Art Association continue building a vibrant, creative community where artists can connect, grow, exhibit their work, and share their talents with North Texas.

For more than 50 years, PAA has worked to create opportunities for artists and make the visual arts an active part of our community. Your support helps us continue that work—through exhibitions, educational programs, community events, artist opportunities, and experiences that bring people together through art.

Every gift, no matter the size, helps us create more opportunities, more connections, and a more creative North Texas.

North Texas Giving Day is September 17!

Support Plano Art Association and help us keep the arts thriving for the artists of today—and the generations of artists still to come.

Give today. Create tomorrow.

Happy International Picnic Day!

Some of the best artistic inspiration can be found outside the studio. Pack a lunch, grab a sketchbook, and spend some time soaking in the sights, sounds, and colors around you.

Whether it's the play of sunlight through the trees, a bustling park, a quiet pond, or simply people enjoying the day, inspiration is everywhere when we take the time to notice it.

Today, challenge yourself to slow down, enjoy the outdoors, and see the world through an artist's eyes. You never know where your next creative idea may come from.

Where is your favorite place to picnic, sketch, paint, or simply be inspired?
