The neXt gallery Pop-Up Art Gallery program is a collaboration that promotes local/regional artists, the St. Charles Arts Council, and the St. Charles business community. The program is called neXt gallery, because you never know where it will pop up next!
The arts council encourages building owners, volunteers, art supporters, and art collectors to get involved in this program to support the arts, and encourages artists to contact the St. Charles Arts Council to learn about neXt gallery opportunities.
