Art With Impact — a juried exhibition celebrating creativity, community, and cause.
Seventy original works. Seventy unique voices. One unforgettable exhibition.
Art With Impact marks a new milestone for the ArtCentre of Plano—our first-ever juried exhibition created as part of the annual For the Love of Art celebration. Curated by guest juror Kristin Rivas of Samuel Lynne Galleries, the show brings together seventy exceptional works by artists from across Texas.
Each artwork tells its own story, waiting to become part of yours. When you purchase a work, you invest directly in creativity—supporting both the artist and the ArtCentre through an equal 50/50 sale. Your collection grows, and so does our community’s artistic future.
The exhibition is open to the public in the ArtCentre of Plano galleries and online through November 22, 2025.
