We work with businesses to promote artists and the exhibits through :

MISSION STATEMENT: Our mission is to organize local artists and make our work accessible by broadening our audience while enhancing public appreciation for art and artists’ role in the local economy.

Get your art out where it will be seen!

Art25 invites artists to participate in our business galleries while giving you the benefit of working with other artists to promote our role in the economy.

We professionally hang your work at local businesses to increase your visibility, potential sales, and recognition as an artist.

We show business owners samples of works (including yours) to display on their walls on a quarterly basis (three month exhibits).

Prepared* artworks rotate every three months, which means, we take down that show, and install the next one.

Other features include: receptions, publicity (e-mail blasts, news releases to local media, postcards etc.

Selling artworks:

Each venue varies with regard to selling artwork from the space. Some businesses will sell the art directly from the venue through their register, others allow for display of contact information for the sale of your art. Artist agree to include a 10% commission to ART25 in the price of their artworks.

*Ready to hang wall art: paintings, photography, multi-media collages, prints etc. All art must be ready to hang before you art can be shown to a prospective business client.

By being part of this “co-op” group, you are also expected to take on responsibility for helping with aspects of the process that fit your skill set. So anywhere you see the word "we", means that a member of the group is either overseeing the task, helping or doing it! As the number of artists increase in the group so does the diversity of skills that we can share for our collective and individual benefit.
