Paint Creek Center for the Arts offers a broad range of contemporary art gallery exhibitions featuring emerging and established Michigan resident artists.

The gallery at PCCA is comprised of  a 1,600 square foot exhibit space, occupying almost the entire second floor of PCCA’s historic building in downtown Rochester, Michigan.

Through open call and pre-curated group exhibits, PCCA’s exhibition program aims to cultivate learning, celebrate artistic excellence, and encourage lifelong involvement in the arts for all, as well as provide valuable exposure and revenue streams for artists living and creating in Michigan.

Each year, PCCA hosts at least four on-site exhibits in the indoor gallery space. Exhibitions are displayed for three to four weeks. Shows include our annual Student & Faculty Exhibition, Haunted: PCCA’s Annual Halloween Exhibition, the Member’s Biennial Exhibition, and new shows based on a variety of themes and mediums.

All exhibitions include an opening reception, complete with refreshments, welcome announcements, and several artists in attendance. Many shows will feature an artist talk or other opportunities to visit the gallery space. Exhibitions and all associated events are free to visit, though donations are appreciated.

There is no fee for PCCA members to submit their work to consideration into exhibitions, and an application code will be sent via email when each show is announced. Non-member application fees will vary depending on the show.

PCCA members earn a 70% commission on pieces sold during our exhibitions. Commission is 60% for non-members. It is up to the artist to decide if they’d like their piece to be listed for sale and this decision will not affect our decision to include a piece in the show or not.
