Kelly's Art Shack is a trendy art studio in the middle of Historic Downtown McKinney…read more This kid-friendly space has activities like video games, board games and even cornhole out on the beautiful courtyard (decorated completely by the owner, Kelly, herself) that is attached to the gallery. I loved relaxing here with co-workers in the evening, not to mention that view of the McKinney water tower from the patio at night cannot be beat. I highly recommend coming to see the unique artwork. My favorite piece was a large, canvas painting of "Woodstock '69," so as soon as I saw it, I had to take home the original before there were only prints available. The art is so affordable and better yet, when you purchase one you become an "artster," which comes with membership benefits. I can't wait for the next live music show and I am hoping to attend a paint party soon. I may even try to book this event space for my toddler's birthday party!

Great place with awesome events! A must visit on McKinney square.read more

I dropped off 4 paintings I picked up in China. Unfortunately, there was a fire in the shop, BUT…read moremy paintings survived with some smoke damage. I had to have the paintings professionally restored by a conservator with expertise in delicate Asian paper.

He listens to where it's going in the house, do I want contemporary or more old fashioned, what works best with the piece, etc. Martin knows all of the questions to ask and takes his time. He treats each customer as his best friend.

They were closed for daycare centers to attend. Twice that I drove 45 minutes to bring my grand kids. So I took the day off work and we drove up today! When I got there it was only open to 'members'! And to add I salt to the wound the gentleman working the desk was very rude! Telling me they are closed open Tuesday four members only! Nowhere on their website Does it say that? I don't want to become a member considering I live 45 minutes away and won't come regularly! Very upset and very upset kids!

A cluster of figures in the front has provocative signs of the "We all bleed the same color" ilk. Yard signs are that bitter pill we must swallow. Who wants to be lectured by a child? There is a nice air-conditioned house that has nihilist paintings and, (oddly) a couple of very good realism paintings on the floor leaning against the wall. The garden is very peaceful and interesting with a good selection of well maintained Texas flora. Benches along the trail make for a nice pause in the walk to enjoy the scenes. There are also some nice tables and chairs about for a group of 4 if you want to bring your lunch or playing cards. Faceless statues and some broken abstracts of people are about the grounds. This is a great place to read a book. I suggest Ivan Turgenev's book Fathers and Sons. It is the story of a son who brings home his school chum from Moscow to meet his parents who live a simple life in the country with simple Russian values. The son is mesmerized by the seeming brilliance of his nihilist friend who confides about a conversation he had with an older woman: "'Of course, you can't understand me; we belong,' I said, 'to two different generations.' She was dreadfully offended, while I thought, 'There's no help for it. It's a bitter pill, but she has to swallow it.' You see, now, our turn has come, and our successors can say to us, 'You are not of our generation; swallow your pill.'"
