Plano Arts Week, a citywide celebration of Plano’s arts and culture scene, is scheduled from April 11 to April 18.
Throughout the week, art-centered events like The Producers at the Courtyard Theatre and Plano Symphony Orchestra’s Carmina Burana will go on throughout the city.
On the last day of the celebration, April 18, there will be a night-long performance at McCall Plaza with Plano Metropolitan Ballet, Gotta Dance’s Tap Ensemble, Natyasthalam Vidyalaya and more.
At the same time, Collaborative Arts of Plano will present an immersive art experience in the Downtown Plano Arts District, including a pop-up art exhibit and sale presented by Plano Art Association and ticketed guided “discovery tours.”
From 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., tours will take participants through a variety of art venues throughout Downtown Plano, like art studios, galleries, museums, public art installations and other creative landmarks. After a walking portion of the tour, a special DART bus will bring participants to destinations on the outer edges of the district.
Tickets for guided tours are $20, and self-guided are $10.
