Professional Artists
Gallery Representation via Community
It's not often you see an art gallery owner provide their artists this level of support and mentorship. The Professional Artists get a chance to work 1-on-1 with owner and senior mentor, Kate Ashton, while being with other advanced and experienced artists.
You'll be represented by Ashton Gallery and have your work on display year-round. There are many exclusive benefits and opportunities that come with this program.
Growth Doesn't Stop Here
Throughout the year, Kate gives her Professional Artists what she calls "challenges" to provide fresh inspiration and stimulate new growth. These challenges will then become a group exhibit at Ashton Gallery.
There's always something new to learn at Art on 30th—even if you're a pro.
