View our exhibition calendar which highlights local and regional artists in solo shows and group invitationals, in addition to annual national juried exhibitions and check out an archive of our exhibition history since we opened in 2013.
Our art resource library houses a collection of over 1,500 books and ranges from historical to contemporary and collectively illuminates the impact of the arts on culture, society, and the human experience.
In addition to visual arts, Main Street Arts also focuses on literary arts and literacy through our bookstore, Sulfur Books. You’ll find new and used books for all ages—adults, young adults, middle readers, and children.
Main Street Arts offers opportunities for artists in invitational thematic or media-specific exhibitions throughout the year.
Our open call for work, a general submission for us to consider your work, is also reviewed twice per year for consideration in upcoming exhibitions. Artists also have opportunities to teach workshops or take part in community events.
In addition to artist opportunities, we also have various opportunities for volunteers to help cultivate a creative community through Main Street Arts!

A combination of student- and instructor-driven projects will allow participants to become more proficient in a broad range of art materials. Working in 2D and 3D, students will expand their artistic skillset and utilize our Art Resource Library to broaden their knowledge of art history, and to inspire them to explore different styles of art making. Our instructor, Sherry Blanco, will lead students through the development of ideas and skills as well as the exploration of various techniques. In addition to the instructor-driven projects, students will also complete a passion project during the 12-week session in which they choose the subject matter and various ways to bring their vision to life.
