The Visual Art League of Lewisville is throwing open the doors of the city's main cultural hub, the Lewisville Grand Theater, for a mixer that promises to mesh creativity with community bonding.
Their "Come Art & Play" event, set for the evening of January 9, beckons both seasoned painters and fresh-faced doodlers to dive into a night of artistic exchange and hands-on fun. The kind of gathering that's open to anyone with a hint of interest in the visual arts, each bringing a puzzle piece to life. Only to see it meld into a larger tapestry by night's end, engendering a palpable sense of collaboration.
This art talk might just be the jolt you need. Invites are out to VAL members and guests alike to share tips, tricks, and trade secrets. The whole shebang taking place at 100 N. Charles Street—7 p.m. sharp, folks. It's not just about being creative, but also about unwinding with like-minded folks and snacking your way through the process, according to the City of Lewisville, Texas.
Subsidized by the City of Lewisville, which is pushing to pump up cultural and fine arts through a well-fed grant program, the Visual Art League is riding on the city's wide-reaching vision plan, which includes "Old Town" and "Identity, Place, and Communications" among its key strategic move, a reflection of the burgeoning creative scene within the town.
The Grand, for the uninitiated, isn't merely about cozy meetups—it's a cornerstone of local culture, staging everything from head-turning exhibits to toe-tapping live music acts, if you're itching for more after the art talk then take a spin on their website or dial 972.219.8446 for the insider track on rentals and upcoming events.
For those coming in from outside of Lewisville, just hitch a ride off Interstate 35E, coast along Main Street, and hang a right on Charles Street. And don't worry about parking your ride. Free spots are plenty around Main and Church streets, or just opposite at City Hall.
