The North Hills Art Center supports local artists in a variety of ways – from providing a vibrant gallery and community for showcasing artwork in our many exhibitions throughout the year, holding a private show (emerging artists), the opportunity to be an artist and educator; and to create during Open Studio Sessions.

By becoming a Member of the Art Center, artists can enjoy lower fees when entering shows and taking classes; enjoy discounts at several local art supply & framing shops and be one of the first to know about upcoming shows/events through our email newsletter. Membership also qualifies the artist to free entry in our Artisan Markets (held once or twice a year) where you can showcase your work to the many patrons who seek out our Artisan Markets.

Please note: this year, due to the cancellation of many local Artisan Markets/Craft Shows, our limited space, and in fairness to all of our artists, we will be screening applications. This will ensure inclusion of a wide variety of art/crafts and continue the high quality shopping experience of years past. In order to facilitate this, JPGS will be required at the time of application. Please understand this is only a spacing issue and hopefully only for 2020!!

DECEMBER: Enjoy time at home creating with family & friends!
