Mission
The PTL Community Art Gallery is a regional public art space which provides exhibition opportunities for students, emerging artists, and the community. We work to create positive experiences that promote learning and growth for artists, and develop meaningful connections between the artist and the community.
Goals:
- Work to remove barriers and inequalities to accessing exhibition space.
- Consistently welcome and seek out artists in the community who may not have had opportunities to exhibit their work.
- Exhibit work representing a range of concepts, mediums, and perspectives.
- Embrace every age, every ability, and every interest in creating and exhibiting art.
- Develop public art projects periodically that encourage and inspire the community to create and learn together.
