A Call for Artists and Artisans to Host Creative Workshops

Dear Artists and Craftsmen in McKinney and DFW area

We are excited to announce that Kelly’s Art Shack & Events is now seeking accomplished artists across various disciplines to host a series of interactive workshops. Our aim is to bring together creatives from all walks of life to share their skills, inspire others, and build a vibrant community of artists and enthusiasts.


We are particularly interested in the following fields:

  1. Acrylic Painting
  2. Oil Painting
  3. Watercolor Painting
  4. Jewelry Making


If you specialize in one or more of these areas and have a passion for teaching and sharing your knowledge, we would love to hear from you.

Our workshops provide an enriching platform for artists to connect directly with the community, imparting their expertise, tips, and techniques to both novices and experienced artists alike. It's not only an opportunity to inspire others, but also to gain exposure, expand your network, and enjoy a rewarding teaching experience.


We understand that each artist has a unique style and approach to their craft, and we are open to all ideas and methodologies for the workshops. We encourage innovative and engaging proposals that will captivate and educate our workshop attendees.


Thank you for considering this opportunity to join us at Kelly’s Art Shack & Events. We believe in the power of art to connect people and foster community spirit. We can't wait to see the inspiring ideas that you can bring to our vibrant community.



We look forward to your submissions and the possibility of working together to enrich our local arts scene.

An immersive night of sound, games, and art-fueled energy in the heart of McKinney.

On May 17th, Kelly’s Art Shack turned into a game-lover’s paradise as we hosted our very first Trivia + Bingo Night — and wow, what a night it was! From clever trivia teams to fast-paced bingo rounds, the Shack was full of laughter, wit, and good vibes. Here’s a peek at what made the event a hit — and a few things we’re already working on to make the next one even better. ✅ What Went Great The Host & Vibes Let’s start with the star of the show — Tanner , our hilarious MC. His quick wit, perfect pacing, and crowd banter kept everyone entertained and engaged all night long. The Space The Shack was set up beautifully, with indoor seating that felt cozy but energetic. Whether guests came to play hard or just soak in the fun, the space delivered. The Tech The software we used to run the games was on point — smooth, responsive, and easy for everyone to follow. Promotion & Turnout Our flyers and messaging worked! We had a solid crowd and a buzz going around town even before the event kicked off. 🚧 What We’re Improving Game Structure The open “come anytime” format (4PM to 12AM) was flexible but also a bit too loose. For future events, we’re thinking of adding scheduled game blocks or time-limited rounds so guests know when to arrive and how long to expect to play. Bingo Speed A few folks mentioned the bingo rounds were a little too fast. We heard you! We’ll slow things down so everyone can stay in sync and enjoy the fun without rushing. Prize Planning While we had fun prizes to give away, we’ll be more structured next time with a set prize list . That way players know what’s up for grabs and we keep the energy high. 🚀 What’s Next We’re already planning round two — with even better pacing, clear time slots, and some exciting new twists. Expect a standardized prize lineup , slower bingo calling , and the same awesome energy from Tanner and the Shack crew. Thank you to everyone who came out and made the night so special. If you missed it — don’t worry, we’ll see you at the next one. 🎤🎱✨ Stay tuned right here or follow us on socials for the next Trivia + Bingo Night announcement!
