Showcasing Artists from all over the Southern Region

The act of collecting art and supporting an artist’s journey should be an inspiring experience whether you reside in a sprawling city or a small rural town. That’s why our Regional Gallery hosts three exhibitions a year with over 50 original pieces from artists all over the Southern Region. Whether you are simply browsing for creative inspiration or to add a new piece to your collection, our gallery has what you’re looking for.

Upcoming Events

  • Sketchbook Society

    January 21 - February 11, 4-5:30PM

    Sketchbook Society is a new winter class being offered for your growing artists who are in grades 1st-6th. This class is designed to not only teach the ‘how to’ of drawing but also to help growing artists learn the stages and processes of planning fine art, the ‘behind the scenes’ of a final art piece. Your child will learn about various sketching skills as they are guided through drawing an animal, a human, a tree, and a still life scene, and so much more. At the end of the class your child will show you their work by keeping and taking home their sketch book, which will have room to keep practicing. Most importantly, your child will walk away with the joy of the drafting stage and the confidence to draw the world around them!
