Working Artist Program
since 2022
Canal Street Art Gallery presents: The Working Artist Program, providing local artists with a self curated exhibition and work space within a gallery setting. The gallery is pleased to announce the expansion of this program from its current number of three artists to a total number of eight artist studios. The program offers visitors a unique and personal experience by introducing them directly to artists, their artworks, their materials, and practices. Participating artists have the opportunity to provide the community with free public events and private learning opportunities such as artist talks, lectures, demonstrations and classes.
The six studios comprising the Working Artist Program range in size from twenty-eight to seventy-seven square feet, each with twelve to twenty-four linear feet of wall space. Artists provide their own studio furniture, tools and supplies. This makes for a range of affordable monthly exhibition fees all with flexible predetermined lengths of time.
Customers may purchase any artwork in the gallery during open hours using the gallery website to process credit card payments and with the assistance of the Working Artist present. Artists processing their own sales pay no commission to the gallery, sales processed through the gallery pay the gallery and the assisting artist a small commission.
