UNIQUE BY NATURE JURIED ART COMPETITION AND EXHIBIT

Awards Reception Saturday, April 5, 2025, 6-8pm

McKinney Performing Arts Center

​​

In McKinney, we value the artist.  Nurture the artist and the work he or she produces will develop to the fullest.  This show nurtures artists in several ways:  through critique, community, and prize money.  Through the Unique by Nature Juried Competition, the City of McKinney, the McKinney Performing Arts Center, all the contributors and sponsors, and the Arts and Music Guild communicate to artists that they are valuable to our community and that the work they produce is important.

Please download the Prospectus. There are two categories in the competition:  Large Works Purchase Prize Competition (submission with online application (click here), deadline March 14th) & Non-Purchase Prize Competition and Juried Exhibition (submission in person on March 29th, 9:30a-4p).  Judging both parts of the competition will be Brian Molanphy, Professor of Art at the Meadows School of the Arts, SMU (Dallas, Texas). Awards Reception will be April 5th.  Bonne chance!
