Located in the heart of historic downtown Pittsboro, our gallery brings together artists working in painting, photography, pottery, jewelry, fiber, wood, glass, mixed media, sculpture, and more.

We believe being an artist is about more than making the work.

It's also about finding your community, connecting with people who appreciate what you create, and giving your work a place to be seen.

WHY JOIN PGA?

PUT YOUR ART IN A REAL GALLERY

Give your work a physical presence in a professionally maintained gallery in downtown Pittsboro. Members receive an equitable amount of available display space based on the size and type of their work and the number of participating artists.

CONNECT WITH ART LOVERS

Because PGA is artist-owned and artist-operated, members have the opportunity to interact directly with visitors and collectors. You'll meet people who are genuinely interested in art—and you may even introduce someone to your work for the very first time.

BECOME PART OF AN ARTIST COMMUNITY

You'll be working alongside artists from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds. Share ideas, learn from one another, make connections, and become part of a creative community that extends beyond your own studio.

GET YOUR WORK SEEN

PGA promotes its artists and exhibitions through the gallery's website, social media, events, and other promotional efforts. Members also have individual artist pages on the gallery website where visitors can learn more about their work.

SELL YOUR WORK

Your artwork is available for purchase directly through the gallery. PGA retains 25% of gallery sales, with 75% paid to the artist monthly.

PARTICIPATE IN EVENTS & DEMONSTRATIONS

PGA regularly creates opportunities for visitors to connect with the artists behind the work. Members may participate in demonstrations, artist events, exhibitions, and other gallery activities.

BRING YOUR SKILLS TO THE TABLE

A cooperative works because its members contribute to its success. Whether your strengths are marketing, social media, events, website management, finance, curation, teaching, or simply lending a hand, there's an opportunity to contribute.

HAVE A PLACE TO GROW

Being part of a gallery gives you a place to introduce new work, see how visitors respond to it, meet potential collectors, and build confidence in presenting and selling your art.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A COOPERATIVE?

PGA isn't simply a gallery where you rent a wall.

It's a gallery you help build.

Our members share responsibility for staffing the gallery, participating in committees, attending meetings, and helping shape the direction of the organization. That's what allows PGA to remain artist-owned and artist-operated.

In return, you aren't just displaying your work—you become part of the community behind the gallery.

Your ideas, skills, creativity, and participation help make PGA what it is.
