Outreach and Education

Our mission at Nepenthe Gallery goes beyond selling art. We strive to enhance and engage with our community through the joy of art. In addition to our weekly Art+Wine+Cheese events we also:
Actively engage with local schools and non-profits to expose students of all ages to art and artists.
Coordinate artist studio visits and other outings for clients and community members.
Host community events like DEGAS BINGO, Art in the Alley, an Annual Turkey Trot and more.
So, check back often and signup for our weekly emails here to be the first to hear about these opportunities!

STUDENT VISITS

Nepenthe Gallery is proud to partner with local schools and non-profits to bring art and inspiration to young people in our community.

We invite local art students to visit our gallery where we can arrange for them to meet working artists and learn about their careers, techniques and artistic journeys. We have also hosted student art shows, dance performances and more. We welcome students of all ages to visit us! Please feel free to reach out with requests or ideas for your students!
