The Owens serves the local and wider community through a program of contemporary and historical exhibitions that highlight regional, national, and international artists. We present dynamic public programs that engage our community in art and artmaking.
Regular programs include monthly Make Something Sunday for families, artist talks, workshops, an open house with behind-the-scenes access, and a yearly fundraising art auction, The Sweetest Little Thing, held in partnership with Struts Gallery.
Our partnership with Struts encompasses Umbrella Projects, conceived during the COVID-19 pandemic, and past partnerships such as A Handmade Assembly.
While most programs take place at the Owens, off-site programming takes us to various community locations.
