Two Art Exhibitions Open at Lewisville Grand Theater This Week

Two Shows, One Building, Five Days to See Them

If you have not made a point of visiting the Lewisville Grand Theater on Charles Street lately, the first week of November gives you two concrete reasons to go. Starting Tuesday, November 3, the theater hosts a pair of distinct visual arts exhibitions simultaneously — Eye Candy and the Cross Timbers Artists’ Guild show — both running through Saturday, November 7, with gallery hours Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Admission details were not announced as part of the exhibition listings, so check the theater’s website before you go if that matters to your planning. What is confirmed: both shows are open to the public during the same hours across the same five-day window, making a single trip enough to take in both.

What Each Exhibition Brings

Eye Candy

The name alone signals an intent to be visually arresting rather than academically restrained. Eye Candy is a visual arts exhibition presented by the Lewisville Grand Theater itself — part of the theater’s ongoing effort to keep its gallery spaces active between performance runs. The specifics of which artists or media are featured were not detailed in the exhibition listing, which means the works themselves will do the talking when the doors open November 3.

For residents who associate the Grand Theater primarily with its stage productions, the gallery programming is worth a separate visit on its own terms. The Charles Street building has grown into one of the more consistent exhibition venues in this part of Denton County, and Eye Candy fits that pattern.

Cross Timbers Artists’ Guild Exhibition

Running alongside Eye Candy is a show from the Cross Timbers Artists’ Guild, a community-based group that has long been part of Lewisville’s local arts fabric. Guild exhibitions tend to reflect a range of styles, skill levels, and media — the kind of show where you might see oil portraiture next to abstract acrylics next to detailed pen work, all from artists who live and work in this area.

For anyone interested in connecting with working local artists, guild exhibitions are usually a more accessible entry point than juried institutional shows. Members are often present during gallery hours, and that kind of informal contact with the people who made the work is harder to find elsewhere.

Timing Your Visit — and What Else Is Up at the Grand This Week

If you are already planning to be at the Grand Theater on Saturday, November 7, note that it is also the final day to view The Wild Wild Weft: Celebrating the Art of Texas Weavers, a juried statewide exhibition of handwoven works that has been on display in the building. That means Saturday in particular is a three-for-one opportunity — Eye Candy, the Cross Timbers show, and the closing day of the weaving exhibition, all under one roof, all within the same 10 a.m.–5 p.m. window.

Planning earlier in the week is just as valid. Tuesday through Friday, the gallery is open during the same hours and foot traffic will likely be lighter than on a Saturday.

Getting There

The Lewisville Grand Theater is on Charles Street in Lewisville, TX 75057, in the Old Town district. Parking in the Old Town area is generally street-level and walkable. If you are combining the gallery visit with other Old Town errands or dining, the footprint is compact enough to handle both without moving your car.

For the most current information on any admission requirements or special programming tied to the exhibitions, the theater’s official site at lewisvillegrand.com is the right place to look before you go.

A Useful Week for Lewisville Arts

The November 3–7 window is a practical one for anyone who follows the local arts calendar. Between Eye Candy, the Cross Timbers Guild show, and the final stretch of The Wild Wild Weft, the Grand Theater is running at full gallery capacity. Add the fact that First Friday in Old Town falls on November 6 — with vendors, food trucks, and live entertainment at Wayne Ferguson Plaza from 5 to 9 p.m. — and the stretch from Tuesday through Saturday offers more than most weeks typically do in Lewisville’s arts and community calendar.

The exhibitions close Saturday, November 7. There is no indication of extended hours or a closing reception in the available information, so treating Saturday as a firm deadline is the safe approach.
