ART FOCUS XC
EXHIBITIONS & TOURING EXHIBITS

Art Focus XC consists of 15 professional artists from the Dallas, Texas area. This group came together in 1992 to share related ideas and support the search for greater knowledge for the creative spirit.

To date, Art Focus XC has had over fifteen exhibitions of their works in Museums, Corporate headquarters and College Museums. Most of the exhibits began with a process piece of each artist and 3 or 4 of their own painting series, and a collaborative piece done by all of the artists and auctioned off for charity sponsored.
