upcoming show:
show closing, artist talk, and makers market: Jan 31st, 2025, 6-10pm

Doors will open at 7pm to the gallery as well as to a makers market featuring 6 local artist selling crafts and artworks to raise funds for a Palestinian family in Gaza.
At 8pm we will hear an artist talk and two poets sharing a short reading with us. 3 musicians will fill the gallery with music for the rest of the night.
Gallery Wrightwood is:
an anti-capitalist, artist-led community project inside a 100-year-old church building that hosts art shows, workshops, and gatherings.
We're focused on making art accessible and interesting to all and to show human-made artworks that specifically speak to urgent social issues.

We started from a series of questions: what does it tangibly mean to be an artist, in a world that pit artists against each other and gives less and less resources to support us? What does it means to be an artist, when most of us need to have a day job to financially support ourselves? What does it mean to be an artist, when our work is only fleetingly shared to the galleries of Instagram? AND WHAT IF IT COULD BE DIFFERENT?
What if we gave ourselves permission to make work that was not just appealing to the internet algorithms, but was really saying something?
What if art could build community and power for social change?
What if we could connect artists across disciplines and educational experiences?
What if we ourselves created the space for the conversations and connections we wish the world made more room for?
Though the gallery program is hosted through and in a progressive Christian church, Gallery Wrightwood does not explicitly center the Christian faith, and we work to welcome all diverse voices and perspectives that amplify values of care and love.
