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.
In addition to invitational exhibitions, Main Street Arts offers national and regional juried exhibition opportunities each year. Juried exhibitions include a thematic or media-specific exhibition in the spring, as well as our annual Small Works exhibition in the fall.
Artist opportunities also include our open call for work which is reviewed twice per year for consideration in invitational exhibitions.
Main Street Arts is a nonprofit arts organization and art gallery specializing in showcasing contemporary art and fine craft from emerging and established Upstate New York artists. Located in the historic, picturesque village of Clifton Springs, NY, the 3,600-square-foot space has two floors offering exhibitions, workshops, youth programs, and an art resource library.
"I am an emerging artist born, raised, and currently living in St. Louis, MO. I received my B.F.A. from Ohio Wesleyan University in 2014, and since then, have spent a lot of time in local print shops printing both other artists’ work as well as my own. I record visual information to gain an awareness of new impressions and to reflect on old conceptions. Through drawing and printmaking, I physically construct and unify my recollections, emotions, and sensations. I carve out shapes, push back darkness, piece together the infrastructure, all to obtain a deeper understanding of moments in time."
