The Chisholm Trail Art Association is not now - nor has it ever - solicited donations OF ANY KIND through email or this website. Anyone claiming to be with the CTAA is lying. DO NOT, under any circumstances, donate anything to anyone in response to an email reportedly received by this group.
In January 2007, a group met together in the old county jail building on the square in Montague for the purpose of identifying area visual artists and finding out what kind of art was being created around the area once known as the Chisholm Trail.
The enthusiasm generated from this first meeting led to the formation of the Chisholm Trail Art Association. Made up of artists and art lovers from all walks of life, the group includes photographers, hobbyists, both professional and amateur artists and patrons who are passionate about creating and promoting art.

ART is a form of human activity appealing to the imagination - especially drawing, painting, and sculpture, but also including architecture, poetry, music, and dance.
ART often requires the use of mathematics, science, anatomy, history, time management, physical conditioning, keen observation, financial management and budgeting, and much more.
ART can transcend cultural, social, racial, religious and language barriers.
One who practices ART does a good thing.
ART takes courage ... yes, COURAGE!

The Chisholm Trail Art Association pays homage to its namesake, the Chisholm Trail. Although only in existence from about 1867 to 1885, the Chisholm Trail provided for the greatest migration of livestock in world history, moving more than five million cattle and a million mustangs from southern Texas through modern-day Montague County, across the Red River and on into Kansas, where the livestock was shipped by rail to market.
