PAA Awarded the Top Organization Award at For the Love of Art: The Great Art Escape

The Plano Art Association (PAA) took home the award for the Art Organization category in the Art Centre of Plano’s For the Love of Art: The Great Art Escape this year. Accepting the award was Linda McCarley, Past President of the PAA. We are honored to have been chosen for this award and are thankful to the ArtCentre of Plano for their acknowledgement of our contributions to the Plano area in promoting and encouraging the visual arts community.

PAA Member, Michael Holter, Paints a
Watercolor Demo of a Plano Icon
The October’s Members Meeting offered a new way of looking at our Plano environment. The demonstration by Michael Holter offered his way of looking at a building on the Heritage Farm, located here in Plano. It showed us that even in this more constricted environment, artist will always find a way to make beauty or find meaning in their surroundings. He gave us tips on technique and encouraged us not to be constrained by the reality of the photograph. I was amazed at how his photograph morphed into a picture of what the older version of the farm could have been. Wonderful work, Michael! If you missed the meeting, you can still catch the recorded version. Watch it here.
Members Meeting on November 17 at 7pm
Mark your calendars for November 17th at 7pm . We are having our November meeting via Zoom. This month we will have Pamela Crosby as our speaker. The topic is one that often plagues artist in one fashion or another. The program will be called “The Right to Copy: Art and Copyright in the U.S.” Come learn what is and is not acceptable in the US legal system. Pam will be ready for some good discussion!

Holiday Party – Slated for December 15 at 7pm
While you are marking your calendar for the November Meeting, flip over to your December Calendar and make the 15th available for the Holiday Party hosted by the Plano Art Association. 

It will be different this year (why shouldn’t 2020 go out the same way it came in!!). We will be having a Zoom Party. Details will be announced as we get closer to the date. We do want every member to send a picture of their favorite work (it does not have to be holiday related…just close to your heart). 

We will be putting this in a digital format of some kind and showing (publicizing) it on our website, Facebook page, members’ only Facebook page, and any other way we can get it out there. No size restrictions. Please let us know the dimensions of the piece, its title, and - if it is for sale – its price. 

Please indicate if it is not for sale. Name your file with your last name.jpg and send it to adminexec@planoartassociation.org  For instance, my piece would be keese.jpg and I would state it is 16x20, titled “A Storm is Brewing”, and for sale for $250. Please have this to Gaby by December 2nd.  Remember, to attend the Holiday Party, you will need to be an up-to-date member of PAA. Please check to make sure your membership is up to date!!


Everyone stay safe and well.

Amazon Smile
Did you know you can give money to the PAA just by using Amazon Smile. Instead of using the general Amazon website, sign on the Amazon Smile. Designate Plano Art Association as your charity and any purchases you make will have a small percentage of the Amazon profit go to the PAA instead. It is an easy way to give money and you pay the same price for the items on Amazon Smile as you would for the regular Amazon. Just think if all of our members (and maybe their family and friends) would do this as a habit. It would really help our budget.
