The Inaugural Exhibition is the first in a projected series of exhibitions by local artists. 
Art Youngstown, Inc. formed to provide gallery space for local artists so they may show and sell their works of art of any medium.  Our goal is to grow and feature different art shows around downtown while showcasing spaces that are empty/for sale/rent while we look for a home to call our own. 
 
Art Youngstown is run by dedicated board members and volunteers that are currently unpaid.  We believe in the local talented artists that Youngstown has and want to create a forum for local artists
(visual, art, dance, drama, film..)
 
 
We thank you for your support as we grow.  Please look for our next event TBA...
