The Sherman Artists Association was born in October 2021 with the town’s first-ever Open Studios, sparking a vibrant creative movement. What began as a small, informal gathering of a dozen local artists meeting in our homes quickly gained momentum through word of mouth, expanding our circle of passionate creatives. Recognizing the need for a more structured organization, we officially incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit in January 2023, adopting professional accounting systems to support our growth. Today, we continue to foster artistic collaboration and community engagement, meeting monthly at the Sherman Senior Center. Join us as we celebrate and elevate the arts in Sherman and nearby communities. #art #artorganization #fyp #supportlocalartists #artists
