Our mission is to provide exhibition space for artists, to encourage innovative work and to serve the community as a cultural and educational resource.



Description

Who We Are

Gallery 308 came into being because artists needed a space to exhibit without having to travel outside of Delaware County. Art brings vitality to a community, and the Muncie community had no place to come face to face, on a monthly basis, with art from a living artist.

Originally established in 2000 as Mitchell Place Gallery, Gallery 308 has a history of installing both evocative and provocative works of art.

The Gallery’s exhibition slate includes emerging and mid-career artists as well as fully established, living artists. The Gallery mounts 10 major exhibits annually. Organized by a group of artists and art educators to fill a cultural gap in Muncie, Gallery 308 is a nonprofit 501(c) 3 art gallery founded to provide an exhibition space for artists, to encourage innovative work, and to serve the community as an educational and cultural resource. Gallery 308 offers the only exhibition space in Muncie where 100% of artists’ sales go to the artists.

A core of dedicated volunteers and a non-paid working Board of Directors manage the Gallery. Support comes from annual donors, various community resources and occasional grants.Workshops and other educational programs for the community are offered on a regular basis and include other arts and cultural interests in addition to visual arts.
