SUMMER STUDIOS // BUILD + EXHIBITION

Summer Studios is a prototype in-gallery artist in residency program.

Project Three Gallery’s vision is to bring experimental, inspiring fine art to the Kenmore Blvd. Our goal is to educate the public on the value of having local art and to bring a fresh, vibrant life to the street. We also want to support new and emerging artists with opportunities to experiment and test new ideas in a real work setting, like the gallery. Project Three Gallery also wants to form a atmosphere of creativity and community among artists.

There is free wifi available during this shift.

SALES
Project Three Gallery will NOT revive any commission on any work sold during the program running. Artists are responsible for packaging and shipping sold artwork. Project Three Gallery will not hold, ship, store, or package any artwork.

*Please keep in mind that Project Three Gallery is a start-up and run by volunteers. We ask for artists to be flexible and open minded.
