Abilene Creative Art Club was formed in April 1933 and actively plays a vital role in the Abilene creative community, supporting artists and enhancing the fine arts in Abilene and surrounding communities. The club’s mission is to unite and foster the creative artists in the Abilene area, present stimulating programs at monthly meetings, and sponsor artistic events that further public interest in the creative arts.

Texas artist, teacher and writer, Thomas Motley, will be in Abilene, February 9-11 to judge the Abilene Creative Arts Club's 90th anniversary Member Exhibition. Tom is Professor Emeritus of Art and Art History at Dallas College. His drawings and painting have been shown in many national exhibits, and locally at the DMA, the Ft. Worth Modern, the Longview Museum and the Wichita Falls Museum.
