LX Artworks Gallery is a fine art exhibition space devoted to the history of Rebels, Founders, & Icons. The gallery houses the work of artist Lindsay Ekstrom, as it doubles as an exhibition space and permanent installation of her work. Lindsay Ekstrom is a self-taught, McKinney-based artist who crafts original portraits that recount the lesser-known histories of well-known Rebels, Founders, and Icons of the past and present. Ekstrom has affectionately dubbed her unique style “Portrait Pop”, as it draws inspiration from both traditional portraiture and pop art. Ekstrom simultaneously embraces and subverts the traditions of these established art styles. While she frames and positions her subjects in a stately manner, she also brings them down to Earth through their humanized portrayal via symbolically selected contemporary fashion, tattoos, accessories, and attitudes. “I don’t just put historical figures in modern clothes for a laugh,” the artist says of her work. “The fashion, the clothes they wear, even their body language are all symbols that tell their life story.” Before embarking on a new project, Ekstrom meticulously researches each of her subjects to ensure that she represents them in a way that is relevant and historically accurate. From this, her unique portraits are born. Located in the historic McKinney Cotton Mill, LX Artworks Gallery creates an open space where anyone can interact with, learn about, and participate in the art world. LX Artworks Gallery hosts various exhibitions throughout the year and is a space where past and present intersect purposefully.

At Whitebox Roastery, coffee isn't just a drink, it's a way of life. Our story began 8 years ago when my team and I, all self-proclaimed coffee fanatics, discovered our passion for coffee while traveling the world. From the bustling streets of Italy to the quaint towns of Romania, we made it our mission to sample the best coffee each place had to offer. With each cup, our love for coffee grew, and we knew we had to bring our passion back home with us. That's when the idea for Whitebox Roastery was born. At our coffee house, we take pride in making it an experience. Every sip is a journey to a different part of the world, where you can taste the authenticity of cultures from Ethiopia to Columbia, Gautemala to Kenya. We bring out the complex notes and flavors of every roast, so you can capture the essence of every region. When you step into our shop, you don't have to travel the world to experience it. You can taste the tangiest lemoncello in our pastries, straight from the Amalfi Coast. The juiciest blueberry notes from the highest elevation in Ethiopia. And the most vibrant organic green matcha from the beautiful mountains of Kagoshima, Japan. My meticulous nature and refusal to settle for anything less than the best has been the driving force behind our coffee house and We have partnered up with some of the most knowledgeable coffee roasters and farmers to source the finest, single-origin beans from the most prestigious locations around the world, and we're committed to bringing out the most complex notes in every roast. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or simply someone who enjoys a good cup of joe, we invite you to come experience the passion and dedication that goes into every cup at Whitebox Roastery.
