5 Years Already!

Saturday, Nov, 9 --- 10-5 pm
Sunday, Nov. 10 --- Noon-5 pm

Mark your calendar for an artsy weekend in McKinney!

The annual McKinney Artist Studio Tour (MAST) is celebrating its 5th anniversary. The tour is free. MAST is a collaboration that provides a unified voice among McKinney’s visual artists to generate awareness of local artists and enhance the public art experience.

Each year, the tour surpasses expectations – growing both in the number of artists participating and in the number of people visiting the artists’ studios. The artists are making their entire process of creation visible, giving those who come to the tour a chance to see what goes on behind the scenes.

We look forward to greeting old friends and meeting new friends!

                                                                            The MAST Team

MAST is comprised of McKinney visual artists who create original works of art. They open their studios to the public once a year . This fall’s show embodies the group’s heart-felt mission, which is to introduce the public to artists in their studios and to spark interest in the processes, materials and ideas related to art.

Although the artists work in diverse ways with a wide variety of media, they all share a passion for creating art. Some are critically acclaimed artists whose work has been collected world-wide. Others are emerging on the art scene. The McKinney Art Studio Tour brings together this selection of artists at various stages in their careers.

This website gives you a chance to see and learn about the artists in the tour .... their background, what inspires their art, and a sampling of their recent art works. Just click on Artists on Tour.

Come to McKinney and visit the art studios and talk with the artists. Pick up a map of the tour or download one from this website. Look for the signs near the art studios. The tour is free.

Have each artist sign your map as you visit their studios. At 5:10 pm on Sunday, there will be drawings to win one of the many items donated by the tour artists. You must bring your MAST map with signatures from each of the seven studios to Studio #2 (see the map). Drawings will be in the order received. You need not be present to win.
