There can be no better home for the artists of Green Bay. Inside the ARTgarage, you’ll find a wonderful variety of gallery exhibits, which change on a monthly basis. In addition to these beautiful displays, artists themselves rent space in the Front Gallery for a minimal fee and commission on sales, ensuring that guests will have access to the finest local art Green Bay has to offer. In the heart of the ARTgarage space are several artist studios, where local artists are hard at work on their latest creations. If you’re looking for a hands-on experience, you may want to check out the wonderful classes and workshops offered by the ARTgarage.
