My daughter decided her goal was to attend Booker T Washington school of Visual and Performing Arts. When I first contacted J's, Kathleen spent 30 mins on the phone with me.

Kelly's Art Shack is a trendy art studio in the middle of Historic Downtown McKinney…read more This kid-friendly space has activities like video games, board games and even cornhole out on the beautiful courtyard (decorated completely by the owner, Kelly, herself) that is attached to the gallery. I loved relaxing here with co-workers in the evening, not to mention that view of the McKinney water tower from the patio at night cannot be beat. I highly recommend coming to see the unique artwork. My favorite piece was a large, canvas painting of "Woodstock '69," so as soon as I saw it, I had to take home the original before there were only prints available. The art is so affordable and better yet, when you purchase one you become an "artster," which comes with membership benefits. I can't wait for the next live music show and I am hoping to attend a paint party soon. I may even try to book this event space for my toddler's birthday party!

The instructions were clear and helpful. We learned history behind the trade. We got to watch demonstrations then got to do so much art ourselves. The whole class was having a great time. You really got to explore your inner artist and no previous skill required. The studio has so many artistic options. They do workshops and classes. They also have space for private events and can do private classes with friends or company events. Great company team building idea. What a gem!
