About Us
Supporting the Arts Supporting Downtown Clinton
Clinton Art Gallery is a non-profit co-op gallery with a membership of approximately 30 artists and artisans. Members are volunteers. In business since 2014, we are proud to be a part of downtown Clinton and happy to occupy two formerly empty storefronts.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Clinton Art Gallery & Coastal Gifts is to foster artistic development and appreciation of all the arts in our wider community including promoting artistic collaboration, partnering with other art organizations, supporting educators who share our vision and goals --- to help shape and enrich the lives of all visitors to the Clinton Art Gallery. Clinton Art Gallery encourages art in a variety of mediums, art classes and artistic workshops. We promote emerging artists by allowing them show/sell space at no charge. Additionally, we sponsor an Art Show & Reception with an opening day/evening, and allow the featured artist to show/sell for 30 days at no charge to the artist for show space.
