The Gallery offers local artists an opportunity to display their work, and because of its non-profit status can display a wide range of artistic styles and mediums not seen in commercial galleries. Aspiring artists, both children and adults, take classes from local artists and are exposed to a wide variety of artistic mediums. Our mission is to promote and provide for the study, development, exhibition, and appreciation of art. Our vision: Ignite the Mind, Stir the Soul, Open the Heart…Boldly Create!
