Our Community Vision
The Smalter Gallery is a community space that fosters human connection through art.
The gallery door opens to all, from casual visitors to avid collectors. A visit to our gallery is an experience of exploration and discovery, free of pretentiousness, pressure, or gatekeeping. Here you will find a welcoming and inclusive environment where art is accessible to patrons of all economic circumstances. Through vibrant discussion with fellow guests, fascinating cultural events, and the joy of falling in love with a new artist’s work, each visit to the Smalter Gallery is an opportunity to forge your own destiny via the power of artistic expression.
Our Artistic Mission
The Smalter Gallery aims to create a space in which our artists feel guided, valued, and cared for. We are a second home for both emerging and experienced artists, driven by a desire to support creators so they may realize their greatest artistic ambitions. Never imposing ourselves upon an artist’s creative vision, we will act as a safe and ever-present foundation upon which artists of all backgrounds can evolve and thrive.
Simply put: The Smalter Gallery nurtures creativity and trusts artists.
