We are a non profit art gallery and teaching center located in historic downtown De Pere, Wisconsin. Our non profit is dedicated to supporting emerging artists. By doing so we are providing a place for the community to gain appreciation of and inspiration from their works. Our gallery & teaching center is dedicated to enhancing the fine arts through connecting, educating, and exhibiting. Some of the ways we accomplish this is by;
- Supporting emerging artists
- Themed group exhibitions
- Solo exhibitions
- Artist representation
- Artist studios and work space
- Events for the community
- Teaching classes to kids, adults and artists
With only 4% of artists receiving museum exhibitions and repeat shows by high end galleries, our efforts bridge the gap and provide artists opportunities they can not find elsewhere. We help them build their confidence, gain experience and knowledge working with a gallery.
Teaching and education is at the core of our mission. This is a way for us to make a lasting impact on future generations.
Our new educational program , "Impacting Youth Through Visual Arts Education" is specifically for economically disadvantaged youth ages 12-18 years old. NEA-supported research has shown that students from low socioeconomic backgrounds who have arts-rich experiences are more likely to achieve key positive outcomes—academically, socially, and civically—compared with their peers who lack access to arts experiences.
According to Americans for the Arts a student involved in the fine arts is:
- 5x lower drop out rate
- 4x more likely to be recognized for academic achievement
- 4x more likely to participate in a math or science fair
- 3x more likely to win an award for school attendance
- 3x more likely to be elected to class office
