2025 meeting schedule
The CTAA meets on the second Thursday of each month, usually in the Chisholm Trail Room at Wellington State Bank in Bowie (1301 Hwy 59 N), Texas. Doors open at 5:30pm for "Meet and Greet", followed by a short meeting at 6:00pm. Our guest presentation begins promptly at 6:30pm and generally lasts an hour or two. The presentation or demonstration is followed by our "Artist of the Month" selection from artwork brought in by our members. On occasion, meetings and/or demonstrations are changed to a field trip to a gallery or art studio, the location of which will be indicated on this website page.

For suggestions and recommendations for an artist presentation, please contact Jody McCabe, our President (grandmom06@gmail.com)
Guests are welcome to attend up to two meetings in a calendar year without having to pay membership dues, but we strongly encourage people to join us if they like what they see!
