Our Featured Artist program aims to bring attention to outside Artists and their work and introduce them to our community. Each exhibit opens with a free reception on the First Friday of the month, introducing the Artist’s work, which is displayed for a set amount of time (typically one month) and made available for purchase to collectors and art lovers for the duration. Exhibits may also include meet-and-greet sessions with the Artist, book signings for authors, workshops for teaching artists, lectures and panel discussions, and more. Keep an eye on our events calendar and plan your First Fridays accordingly!
