We’re excited to share that our website now features all of the incredible artists who make our Gallery so special! Each artist has their own profile where you can get to know them a little better, see what inspires them, and learn about the mediums they love to work with. It’s a wonderful way to connect with the creative minds behind the art you see on our walls.
Please take a few minutes to explore and tap on any of the profile pictures to dive deeper into each of our artists’ stories. We hope it makes you feel even more connected to our wonderful local art community—and maybe it will spark a visit to the Gallery to see their work up close and personal. See you soon!
