Arts of Collin County

Stretching over a rolling 100+ acre site, The Arts of Collin County is located near the intersection of Collin County's four major cities: Allen, Frisco, Plano and McKinney. Valued at $22 million, Briar Ridge Investments donated the land – the largest donation of its kind in Collin County history.

The Arts Park and Performing Arts Hall are being jointly developed by the complex's owner cities or Allen, Frisco and Plano, along with Member Cities Fairview and Melissa. Public commitment to the project includes $57 million in bonds approved by residents of the owner cities. With an additional $3 million in county grant funds and more than $10 million of pledged support from private businesses, foundations and individuals, almost $70 million of the project's $80 million Phase 1 cost has been accounted for.

A better community begins here.

The Arts of Collin County will welcome more than 100 local arts organizations, offering them a convenient, affordable way to further their individual missions. The amount of music, dance, theater and other fine artistry they will bring to the complex will be unlike anything North Texas – and beyond – has ever experienced. Additionally, national touring artists, Broadway productions and dance troupes will make regular stops at this exciting new venue.

The educational opportunities afforded by the project will not only foster tomorrow's artists, musicians and actors, but will expand the horizons of every child who visits. After all, students involved in the arts are four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement.

The complex is designed to be a part of its natural surroundings. Not only is the native landscape incorporated into the master plan, all structures are built using sustainable construction practices. Our desire is to have an ecological footprint as small as our cultural one is big.
