Micropolis Art Gallery Filled with Vibrant Variety of Creativity
Micropolis Art Gallery, located inside Mohawk Harvest Cooperative Market at 30 N. Main St. continues to be a strong supporter of local visual artists as it recently held a “Meet the Artist Reception" on March 1st. The featured artist is Bob Buck, but the gallery run by Micropolis Cooperative Inc. also has numerous pieces on display ranging from glass work, jewelry, painting, weaves, cards and more.
Starting in March 2011, this current March display is also the 13th year the organization dedicated itself to bringing the work of talented regional artists to Downtown Gloversville. This Leader Herald article showcases the hard work and dedication the founding members had when creating this space from an unfurnished, unheated building.
In 2023, while daily attendance numbers were not readily available, it was reordered that 1,000 separate purchases occurred that year.
While some of the artists are new to the gallery, and the pieces on display are recent creations, the focus remains the same:
· Provide artists with an opportunity to exhibit and sell their artwork
· Build awareness of and support for the regional art community
· Be a part of the revitalization of downtown Gloversville
