What is a Gallery Takeover?

Gallery Takeover is an annual, collaborative exhibition series that showcases artwork created through participatory art-making programs led by teaching artists and educators from Ruth’s Table, Creative Spark, and Front Porch Gallery. These programs take place both onsite and in partnership with community organizations across the region.

Originally launched by our sister gallery Ruth's Table and Creative Spark, Gallery Takeover has grown to include Front Porch Gallery as a key partner. Together, we co-create meaningful, arts-based experiences that culminate in vibrant, community-led exhibitions.

This program reflects our shared commitment to accessibility, intergenerational exchange, and celebrating the creative potential of aging. It offers an inclusive platform for people of all ages and abilities to create, connect, and share their stories through art—challenging assumptions about age and disability along the way.
