Events

The Gaslight Art Colony opened on Saturday, October 17, 2009.  The non-for-profit organization is dedicated to promoting awareness of, participation in, and understanding of the arts through fine arts exhibitions, classes, and workshops.  The Colony has gallery openings on the third Saturday of each month throughout the year,with the exception of December and January.  The Children’s Art Show is held each February and features art from local children.  Twice a year, gallery openings feature art by Colony members.  Throughout the rest of the year, monthly openings feature work by renowned artists from the Midwest and across the country.  Featured works have included hand-blown glass, pottery, watercolors, oils, jewelry, and other forms of media.  The styles of art presented are as varied as portraits and landscapes to modern art and abstracts.  Classes are offered spring, summer, and late fall/winter.  Courses focus on all levels of talent and interest, and are designed for both children and adults. 

Gaslight is very proud to host the Children's Art Show, here are the 2018 Winners.
