Mission

How we treat the community through our projects

 
 

hello!

treat gallery has a proven track record of helping others through contemporary art. We partner with like-minded professionals and businesses with a shared goal of making the contemporary art field more honest and tangible. We participate in major art fairs, provide scholarships, portfolio reviews, and have a couple pop-up exhibitions a year. treat gallery is not a non-profit organization, and we do not accept direct donations, but with every project or pop-up show, we donate 15%-100% of proceeds to a various cause or non-profit.

treat gallery is a contemporary art project created by curator Sherri Littlefield dedicated to showcasing emerging art. Our mission extends beyond the gallery walls; we are passionate about supporting the community and contributing to meaningful causes. To this end, we donate a portion of our sales from every project, art fair, portfolio review and partnership to nonprofits and charities in need, aligning our success with a greater purpose. Community engagement is at the heart of what we do. Our commitment to affordability ensures that contemporary art can be enjoyed and acquired by all – we offer work and conversation for both a seasoned critic and first-time buyer. Treat yourself, treat others - treat gallery.


We strongly believe in giving-back to others in everything we do. In addition to our events and projects, we always donate a portion of sales to others when we exhibit at an art fair or hold an exhibition (online or in-person.)
