Art Galleries near Richardson, TX

“For several years now, Canyon Creek Art is the only ones that I use and trust to make prints of my art work. The quality of the printing and the paper used could not be any better. In fact, the print quality is so good that I have started marking the original art work to keep from getting those confused with the prints. Everyone at Canyon Creek Art are highly skilled at what they do and I can not thank them enough.Alan Johnson”

“Not only do they carry fun and whimsical products, they have the best customer service! They absolutely go above and beyond to make sure customer's needs are met in a timely manner.”

“I took the Downward Dogs and Deadlifts class here and loved it! It was a great way to start off a Saturday morning. Jen and Dave have created a cool class combining yoga and strength training that is accessible to all skill levels. You can choose multiple dumbbell weights to tailor your workout, and the class concludes with a guided stretch and Savasana. Bonus: we listened to fun, energetic music that helped me get through the sets!”

“Valley House is a hidden gem. We lived in the area for some 20 years before I stumbled across it on Google and went to take a look. The sculpture garden is amazing both for the art but also the landscaping which is always meticulously groomed. They have art exhibits inside of both local and other up and coming artists. We are grateful to the owners of this fabulous property for making it available to the public. Entrance is free.”

“Barnabas is amazing. He found the time to work around our schedule and did such an amazing job. Such a light tough and really is a master at his art. He really cares about what you want and give great advice on placement and shading. If you want quality work don't look anywhere else. I'll never go anywhere but here. It was better than I hoped it would be”

“I had no idea this place existed and I am so glad I discovered it. the curator's tour is well worth planning for a specific time of day, although I did struggle overheating, standing, and walking on the concrete floor; bring a hand fan, wear comfortable shoes, and don't get two vaccinations on your way there (that one was on me)!

the museum is fully accessible, throughout. a guided tour took about an hour, and after I took another walk through and spent another hour and a half admiring the collection. the curator graciously answered question after question, providing insights you would miss otherwise. there are also a few pieces which take a bit more dedication to enjoy: a couple of films, one an hour long, a short cartoon, an auditory experience, and a (passively) interactive work.

for this visit, The Eye was clearly the showstopper. meant to invoke the moment man first split atom, the mirrored shards radiate energy from one angle while displaying clear architectural framing from an other. the viewer finds themselves reflected in shattered vestiges of the human they were when they walked into this room. there are stairs going both up and down, reminiscent of MC Escher, complete with rabbit holes tunneling through to the other side. from a distance, the woodwork supports can be sighted peaking from intentional defects made in the mirror, and an abundance of cracks thoughtfully decorates panels throughout. there is also, very subtlety, the form of two pyramids stacked upon each other, the top pointed down, almost to remind one of an hour glass. as the piece fluidly moves with the observer, reflections of the room dancing in and out of line of sight, it is hard to say how much of the sand in this hourglass has fallen.

there were so many lovely and moving pieces, which is incredible because they said the exhibit I was seeing was smaller than usual. it was just a feast for my brain, inspired me to create something of my own, and already I can't wait to go back. and it's all FREE! make sure to register before so you're not fumbling at the check-in desk, but there is no charge, not even for tours. since it's a little out of the way, there's very little traffic and you can get the gallery to yourself (and a watchful guard!).

highly, highly recommend checking this one out!”

“They make some nice, artistic, but practical pieces of pottery that you can use everyday. Got some coffee (or tea in my case) mugs with nice bluebonnet artwork on them recently while paying a visit. I love the home they bought for his business, too, as it’s a designated “Heritage Landmark” in Plano’s history, namely Mary Schimelpfenig House (914 18th Street), as there’s always a history lesson learned while visiting the shop.”

“Beautiful artisanship. I'm not used to the price for originals, and there are many artists who capture the light almost perfectly with their differing perspectives.”

“Beautiful gallery in such a great location! So much fun seeing Donald Robertson’s fabulous exhibit! I plan to go back before it ends and can’t wait to see what’s next!”

“Exceptional, brilliant color in the Padilla brother’s paintings. Although they have different contemporary styles, each uses magnificent color in their work. I have several pieces from this gallery, wonderful additions to my collection. Colorful impressionistic art , in it’s finest form. Highly recommend. Thank”
