Original Art and Hand Crafted Gifts
Original Art and Hand Crafted Gifts
We are an artist-owned and operated art gallery in the downtown Eau Gallie Arts District (affectionately known as EGAD) in Melbourne, Florida. Our mission is to provide a venue for both established artists as well as emerging creative souls with a focus on encouraging artists to become a part of the family we have enjoyed for more than a dozen years.
Our gallery is large and spacious and filled with a collection of works by local members, as well as consignment and guest artists. You will enjoy paintings, photography, 3-D works, jewelry, and more, all locally and expertly crafted. We also have a variety of cards, prints, and gift items, and our inventory is always fresh and new.
Eau Gallery is involved with and supportive of the activities of EGAD, including the very popular “First Friday Art Walk” where hundreds of visitors stroll the galleries and businesses of our arts district to enjoy the art, music, food, and monthly exhibit openings. We are also sensitive to the needs of the community and often participate in philanthropic partnerships with other organizations.
Show Us Your Art!
Eau Gallery actively seeks artists who want to promote their careers, get involved with a gallery, and showcase their diverse styles and innovative techniques. There are several levels of involvement, described below. Each requires filling out an application (available at the Gallery, on our website or via email) and setting up an appointment with the Review Committee to present your bio and several examples of your work.
You and the Committee will discuss benefits and investments. Then the Committee will present your request to the General Membership, who will vote on an extension to join our gallery.
