Gallery 53 is dedicated to making art accessible to everyone in the community with exhibits, classes, and events. Our historic 53 Colony Street building is a hive of creative activity with an amazing gift shop featuring local artisans, a spacious light-filled studio, fully-equipped meeting room and pottery studio. We have built a strong art community with a core of dedicated volunteers, talented instructors, and a stable, committed board of directors. We invite you to join us as we continue a 114-year old tradition of keeping art alive in Meriden by supporting local artists and providing opportunities for creative visual expression!
