Lillstreet Gallery enhances the educational mission of Lillstreet Art Center,
the institution in which it is housed, by offering students and
visitors an opportunity to explore and be inspired by the work of
emerging and established artists. It also supports the endeavors of
those artists by providing a retail venue for their distinctive,
hand-made ceramics, jewelry, and textiles. Thematic exhibitions and
special events punctuate our ongoing display of functional art, creative
toys, cards, art books, and DIY projects for sale in the Artisan Gift
