The Plano Art Association proudly presents Explorations 2026, on view May 27 through June 28 at the PAA Gallery at The Shops at Willow Bend—marking the second‑to‑last exhibition at this location before the organization’s next chapter.

This special exhibition invites artists to step beyond their comfort zones and explore new media, techniques, styles, and creative processes. From bold experiments to subtle reinventions, Explorations 2026 celebrates the courage to try something different and the evolution that comes from creative risk-taking.

Featuring a diverse collection of 55 works by local artists of all ages, the exhibition also introduces a new category: Junior Plano Art Association Artists. Together, these works reflect a spirit of discovery and highlight the curiosity and innovation that keep art vibrant and ever-evolving.

A reception for Explorations 2026 will be held on Sunday, June 21, from 4:00 to 6:00 PM at the PAA Gallery at The Shops at Willow Bend, co-hosted by Gaby Pruitt and Stephanie Horne.
