Art File
The Art File is a curated online gallery on The Painting Center’s website. Art File artists have a public presence on our website as well as the opportunity to be considered for inclusion in our frequent member and guest curated exhibitions. There is an annual Art File membership fee of $75 due upon acceptance. Artists selected for an exhibition will be contacted by The Painting Center. These exhibitions are funded partially by the gallery and by supplemental contributions requested from the participating artists. In addition to having a public presence on the The Painting Center website, Art File artists participating in exhibitions are included on Artsy. Art File artists can also apply for membership, juried exhibitions or a solo exhibition in the Project Room.
