Celebrate 1 year of art shows at Medium Art Gallery in the Pear Tree Center! Art! Music! Cupcakes!

Come make a punk patch with us. All supplies will be provided. We are extremely grateful to have been able to show our community what our fledgling arts nonprofit is capable of. We could not have done it without our talented arts community, committed board of directors, art supporters, volunteers, and help from the Pear Tree Center. In the last year, we have supported 254 individual artists with an inviting space to exhibit their artwork (a good number of whom it was their first experience showing in a gallery), made $17k in art sales while taking no commission and giving the full sale amount to the artist (most galleries take up to 50%), showcased the artwork of 132 youth artists, and provided numerous hands-on workshops and interactive art pieces during eight separate group shows. We want to thank you all for being a part of this with us. This is just the beginning!
