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!

Join Maddie Corsaro for a workshop with a focus on monotype printmaking. This form of printmaking consists of painting with ink onto a piece of plexiglass, then printing it onto paper with an etching press. This workshop will cover subtractive, additive, direct trace drawing, plus collage and registration techniques for adding layers. Mix and match techniques to create 2-4 entirely one-of-a-kind prints.
Participants will bring reference images to work from—landscapes, figures, and images with strong lighting are nice but it can be anything! No prior experience is required, but some drawing, painting, or printmaking skills would be beneficial.
Saturday, May 6 from 12 to 4 p.m.
$65 per person, all materials included
