Program Structure

Duration: Each exhibition lasts for one month
Opening Reception: Held on the third Sunday of each month, the reception is an artist-run event aimed at introducing the artist and their work to the community.

The Artist of the Month program is an essential initiative that supports local artists, builds community, and fosters a stronger appreciation for the arts in Concord. Please consider this as a public exhibition and consider display methods for merchandise and artwork.

Artist Run Program

The Artist of the Month program is artist-run, meaning that the artist is involved in the planning and execution of the exhibition. From coordinating the placement of their work to interacting with the public during the opening reception, the artist has full control over how their work is presented. This initiative allows artists to directly engage with their audience, offering a more personal and meaningful experience.
