“Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible.”

We constantly seek to support new artists, new voices, new work. By dedicating an exhibit to abstract art, we hope to attract those new voices as well as provide exposure for our member artists' more experimental, less traditional work. Paintings, drawings, photographs, and digital compositions will be accepted. Sculpture may also be accepted at the gallery's discretion (call or email the gallery to check the specifications of individual pieces).
Transforming Reality: the 2025 Abstract Art Show will be on exhibit in the gallery through the month of April. By entering online, you'll be included in the virtual exhibit and may be posted on our social media. Detailed entry information is below.
