Fe. In Texas, exhibits were held at the Sartor Galleries in Dallas; the Dallas Museum of Art; the Elisabet Ney Museum in Austin; Texas Tech University in Lubbock; Trinity University in Waxahatchie; and McMurry College in Abilene, as well as the Texas Centennial Exposition held in 1936-1937. She also exhibited at the 1939 New York World's Fair, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and the National Association of Women Artists in New York. Organizations In addition to making art, in Dallas McClung became active in artists' associations and worked to promote recognition of women artists. She was an active member of the Printmakers Guild in the 1940s and 50s (it was renamed as Texas Printmakers in 1952). This guild was made up of a small group of Texas women artists, who founded it after being excluded because of their gender from the Lone Star Printmakers of Dallas, headed by Hogue and Jerry Bywaters. In 1945, she was elected the Director of the Texas Fine Arts Association, now known as the Texas Visual Arts Association. In 1946, she was elected to the board of directors of the Southern States Art League, as well as the Texas chairman for the National Association of Women Painters. Later life and death McClung's later works were mostly serigraphs. As she approached her early sixties in the mid-1950s, she began to lose her sight and decreased her productivity. She may also have created fewer works because it became difficult for her to "reconcile her love for rural countryside with the growing urban character of Dallas". She eventually became blind in her right eye following an operation in 1986. Before she died, McClung gave several of her paintings to the Dallas Museum of Art.
