• OUR PROGRAMMING

    Since 2006, The Art Garage has provided a unique Gallery venue where the public can visit, free of charge, and support the arts community. We represent artists and performers at every stage of their career, and welcome other nonprofit organizations and businesses to express their creativity through the shared use and rental of this arts space.

    We also offer a variety of art workshops, arts events, and live performances, and collaborate with many local and regional groups to build up our programs. We are dedicated to the belief that arts education and expression is indispensable for a thriving community, and we will continue to advocate to make the arts accessible for all.

  • OUR FACILITY

    The Art Garage is located in a historic part of Green Bay's Olde Main District, in a former cannery that is over one hundred years old. Our Gallery and Studio B event space feature beautiful cream city bricks, high ceilings, and polished concrete floors. Behind the gallery walls, nine semi-private artist studios serve as a creative space for local artists to build relationships, support one another, and complete their visions.

    Studio B, with entrances from the Gallery and on the Main Street side of the building, acts as a multipurpose space for workshops, meet-ups, pop-up galleries, performances, markets, and other arts-related events and programming.

  • OUR HISTORY

    Cedar Center Arts, Inc is a nonprofit that was founded by local artists who were seeking a unique, creative space to continue their studio practice and support the local arts scene. On March 17, 2006, their small Board of Directors opened The Art Garage in a small section of the Old Cannery Building on Main Street. In five short years they had expanded into 6,000 square feet, with a board of 21 people, two part-time staff members, and several volunteers. In 2015, The Art Garage purchased the cannery complex with the support of donors, volunteers, local business owners, and other community supporters. After nearly a decade of including tenant rentals and property management in the many services provided to our community, the Cedar Center Arts, Inc. Board determined to sell the building so staff and members could refocus our efforts on supporting the arts.
