Our gallery program has long been a champion of local, emerging and underrepresented artists, offering not only a platform for their work but also behind-the-scenes support. Our main gallery hosts 7-8 exhibitions a year, including in-house curated and collaborative shows with local, national and international art groups.
Walker’s Point Center for the Arts supports visual and performing arts and learning in a multicultural environment. The center fosters creativity in children through innovative education and encourages audience development and artistic talent with a diverse blend of programming. From bold exhibitions to youth arts programs, our commitment to equity in the arts and in the world at large drives everything we do.
We belief that all people—including but not limited to those who have been historically underrepresented based on race/ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, socioeconomic status, geography, citizenship status, or religion—should be represented, supported and have access to thriving venues for expression.
The mission of WPCA includes exhibitions of local, regional, national and international artists. Exhibition proposals that uplift historically underrepresented voices are given priority in the selection process.
