HistoryCedar Center Arts/The Art Garage was founded upon local artist who were seeking a unique, creative space. By March 17, 2006, The Art Garage was open. The Art Garage was sustained by a small board of directors. In 2007, our first staff member was hired. By our fifth anniversary in 2011, The Art Garage had expanded into two rooms in 6,000 square feet, with a board of 21 people, two part-time staff members, and several volunteers. In January of 2015, The Art Garage purchased the cannery complex with the support of donors, volunteers, local business owners, and other community supporters. Since the purchase of the cannery complex, we have expanded and allocated funds to renovate additional studio space to allow for programming to develop further. Even with our extensive programming and a thriving center, we continue to grow our programs through a very small staff with the help of active board members, volunteers, and community support.SpecialtiesThe Art Garage is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts organization.
