Blue Door Art Center is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to bring the arts to local communities that are underserved by cultural programs, and to assist artists by giving them exposure. We do this through exhibitions, educational programs for youth, public art projects, workshops, mentoring programs and special events.  At our gallery, we have an exhibition and performance space. As we showcase and support artists from the tri-state area, we aim to become a destination for the wider audience throughout the region.

As a nonprofit organization we depend on individual, foundation, and corporate donors. Your gift will have a direct impact on our important work in the community. Your support will extend even more opportunities for artists to exhibit their work and will help us sustain our free public events. We invite you to learn about the different ways you can support our organization:

Public Art
The Blue Door Artist Association has initiated numerous public art projects including the installation of sculpture throughout the city, decorating of outdoor planters and the creation of a series of ‘art banners.’
