Beginning Dec. 14, a special exhibit will be initiated at the ArtCentre of Plano featuring artist from the Rail Station Studios and Gallery. The exhibit will spotlight works-in-progress for the "Downtown Face-to-Face" project by Rail Station Studio portrait creators Gene Dillard and Gaby Pruitt. A reception, open to the public, will be held Dec. 14 from 6 to 9 p.m. The Art Centre of Plano is located at 90118th Street, Plano, TX 75074.
The exhibit will additionally feature figurative and portrait works by the studio artists, but will also include other genres. Works included will be by Gene and Gaby as well as participating studio artists Don Dillard, Don Mullins, Louise Dillard and Michael Holter.
The "Downtown Face-to-Face" works-in-progress are part of a developing exhibit created by Gene and Gaby to portray and profile personalities who make up the character of Historic Downtown Plano. Subjects include individuals ranging from city officials to shop owners and notable individuals who occupy the historic downtown sector of Plano. Approximately 35 painted and photographic portraits will make up the final collection.
The "Downtown Face-to-Face" project is a yearlong endeavor that supports the efforts of the Historic Downtown Plano Association to promote the unique character of downtown. And the designated charity of the Association, The Assistance Center Collin County will be the beneficiary of the project when the collection of portraits are made available for sale at a special exhibit in the Spring.
