Closing Reception- June 27, 2026- 2:00 p.m. til 4:00 p.m.

ARTIST RECEPTION AND END OF EXHIBITION!
JUNE 27, 2026 – Plan a day trip to Breckenridge, Texas, approximately 2 hours from DFW and view and purchase original artwork and photography! I have just under 70 works of art including works in Oils, Charcoal, Pastel and Casein hanging in the large Gallery of the Breckenridge Fine Art Center. Most are available for purchase – a great opportunity to start your collection of ORIGINAL art. Or, just come on by and chat with artist and photographers about their creative process.

Also hanging in the smaller gallery is a collection of original photographs from “The Lightcatchers”, a group of professional photographers. Their work is amazing!

There are several restaurants in Breckenridge, so make it an outing and visit the Breckenridge Fine Art Gallery this coming Saturday, June 27. Reception is from 2:00 p.m. til 4:00 p.m. 
(Breckenridge Fine Arts Center • 207 N. Breckenridge Ave. • Breckenridge, Texas • 254-559-6602)

Hope to see you there.
