The Cove is a place for creatives to be together, to have a conversation, to explore ideas. Member artists contribute to monthly expenses, and their work is displayed during every event. Art shows are free and open to the public and are almost every weekend. Come enjoy the art, the artists, the dialogue, and the experience. The Cove is a program of the Arts and Music Guild, a non-profit begun in 2010. The Cove began as an idea and became a reality when a local developer offered about twenty artists a warehouse space for minimal rent in downtown McKinney. A pooling of resources and a lot of sweat equity resulted in the first show opening in July 2016.
