About Us

We are passionate about the arts
We are a non-profit committed to making creative expression and its appreciation accessible to our community.

Artistree is both a community arts center and gallery.

Our community arts center provides the opportunity for a joyful, meaningful, and satisfying experience of the visual arts and music through our year-round classes, workshops, and events. We encourage our local community members of all ages and abilities to participate in a wide variety of art processes. Our affiliated branch, Purple Crayon Productions, focuses on programs for children age 8 and under.

Artistree Gallery is a space dedicated to the appreciation and enjoyment of a wide variety of fine art works.

The programs we offer are designed to nurture each person's inherent creative capacities and raise the possibility of art as a vital force in an individual's overall growth and expressive abilities. Artistree and Purple Crayon are 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations.
