Our mission is to engage the creativity of individuals in order to strengthen wellbeing and communities. We are a non-profit, community resource dedicated to creating vibrant, vital communities through art viewing, discussing, making, and investing.
We believe everyone has a story to share. And stories told through art are not only compelling, but profoundly important to our individual wellbeing. Understanding and connecting with this expression are at the very heart of what we know community to be. Individual creativity at all ages is available to anyone interested and willing to learn. Front Porch Gallery reveals these stories through innovative programs for Front Porch residents and exhibitions showcasing artwork from a variety of senior artists and others whose stories come to life through paintings, photography, sculpture, fiber arts, and more. This space helps create an understanding of aging through art, where the community can come together to share creative expression throughout the year. The gallery collaborates with individual artists and innovative organizations to produce unique exhibits to celebrate creative endeavors and full range of artistic expression at every level of experience. The gallery is an outreach program of Front Porch.
