Where Art Meets Community

Learn more about our free community art programs, workshops and events!

Our free programs and workshops provide a space for creative engagement, where participants can explore various aspects of art including discussion, viewing, making, and collecting. By fostering a supportive environment, we aim to promote positive aging, reduce isolation, encourage personal growth and well-being, and foster social connections.

Where Art Meets Visibility

Through inclusive community events, solo shows, and juried exhibitions, Front Porch Gallery celebrates the creativity and contributions of older adults and people with disabilities and encourages meaningful intergenerational engagement and discussion around the work.
