    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.

    Opportunities

    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!
