Sitar Arts Center offers affordable multidisciplinary arts education in a nurturing environment to the city’s youth who otherwise wouldn’t have access to these opportunities. The Cafritz Gallery gives our students the opportunity to learn how to showcase their accomplishments and grow as artists, as well as learn about the process of creating, hanging and selling artwork.
The gallery series was created to educate the Sitar Arts Center community about the visual arts, how to view and talk about artwork and to give young emerging artists the opportunity to exhibit professionally. The Cafritz Gallery is an intimate space which can exhibit up to 30 pieces of varying sizes. Selling artwork is encouraged and welcomed, however it is not the mission of the gallery.
