Reaching Out to Our Community with Art and Care

When the Gallery opened in April 2005, we knew that community outreach would be a central element of our mission and that our outreach initiatives would focus on leveraging existing community successes. With only that compass in hand, we charted a course that has yielded a coordinated and consistent emphasis – education.  Of all Jefferson County’s many remarkable qualities, none surpasses its devotion to public education. Recognizing this, we engaged the leadership of the County public schools from the Gallery’s earliest days in an effort to lend our support wherever it made sense.  Today, the Gallery operates four lively educational outreach programs, each with its own special emphasis -- Gallery Days, Art of Thinking, High Art, and Artshops.  Take a tour of the four by clicking above and keep up with all the exciting outreach commotion by visiting us regularly on Facebook - friend us at Fire House Gallery - where we post fresh photo albums and notes about our outreach initiatives all the time!
