The Painting Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to the exploration of painting in all its possibility. Founded and managed by artists, the Center hosts approximately twenty exhibitions per year—programming that celebrates the high standards of excellence to be found among both emerging and established artists. Rather than champion one school or tradition, The Painting Center welcomes and encourages diverse viewpoints regardless of their market appeal or eccentricity. The Painting Center is a gathering place for painters and others who love painting—a democratic arena that fosters dialogue, experimentation, and community among artists. Guest-curated exhibitions as well as solo or small group presentations are often accompanied by catalogs, panel discussions, lectures, readings, and other educational programming. Members have also promoted international exchange exhibitions with organizations including the Temple Bar Gallery in Dublin, Ireland and the Museum of Modern Art, Bogota, Columbia.
