Historic building pretty and makes for a nice atmosphere but limited artworks
Beautiful historic property in East Plano among other historic homes and huge trees. The artworks are limited maybe because of the space that this home has available. Most of the time I have been here I have not seen anyone who works here or someone comes from the back of the house and says hello. There is a sign in sheet and you are able to wondar around on your own....have thought that theft could be easy without eyes on. One room upstairs holds some artworks. Artworks have been varied and the staff I am sure tries to do a good job. Perhaps when this ArtCentre is is its new larger home it will be even better. If you are in the area it is good to check it out.

Cultural Event Fell Short
I went to see the Harlem Renaissance exhibition during family day and they partnered with the Junior League of Collin County. I show up and it was a building full of white women that crowded and bombarded every Black patron. I felt like I had walked into the GAP in 1990. They were trying to educate people about Black art and none of these women were arts professionals. Anytime I tried to look at a painting or read a label a white woman would rush up to me and it was jarring. I found myself naturally gravitating to the other Black people to talk about our history, family, and feelings. Why didn't Plano partner with Black professors, artists, or community leaders to create an authentic cultural event? You would not walk into a Holocaust exhibition and find a bunch of Catholic nuns crowding you to educate patrons about Judaism. You would not walk into a family reunion and find strangers telling you about your own history. I have been to other Black events before and some white people placed themselves front and center. I AM NOT SAYING WHITE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE THERE. I AM SAYING IT WAS A MISSED OPPORTUNITY TO HOST AN AUTHENTIC EVENT AND SOME WOMEN WERE BEING TOO EXTRA WHICH WAS ANNOYING.
