Sweetwater’s gallery is located on the mezzanine level of our historic building. We present a variety of juried and curated exhibitions each season, with a focus on contemporary works from a diverse group of emerging and professional artists. We are dedicated to offering our community of artists, students and collectors a space to engage with one another, encounter new ideas, and share in learning through the visual arts.

Permanent
collection
Sweetwater Center for the Arts’ permanent collection started with generous donations by regional artists and collectors over 10 years ago. Through the years, Sweetwater’s permanent collection has grown to include works from regional as well as national artists in a variety of media, with a focus on painting, photography, and ceramics. A large majority of the works in our collection were included in Sweetwater gallery exhibitions prior to acquisition.
