The Garrett County Arts Council operates the Gallery at 206 E. Alder Street in Oakland to showcase the fine arts and crafts of regional artists.

More than 100 artists and artisans currently participate in Gallery displays and exhibits.

We change our main Gallery exhibit three times each year to maintain a fresh appearance. We rotate special exhibits featuring solo artists more frequently—every six to eight weeks.

We host public receptions for featured solo artists at each rotation of exhibit. Please Contact Us if you wish to receive invitations to receptions and other Gallery events.

You’ll find us in downtown Oakland along Alder Street directly opposite Englander’s Antiques. The hundreds of original hand-crafted items we carry include paintings, photographs, pottery, porcelain, line drawings, maps, wall hangings, knit goods, blown glass, jewelry, stained glass, turned wood, wood carvings, fused glass, tapes and CDs, ornaments, note cards, Shaker boxes, baskets, needlepoint, dough craft, iron work, literary publications, hand-made soap, and more. The Gallery is a great place to shop for gifts or unique interior accents.

Only a ten-minute drive from Deep Creek Lake, the Gallery is open Monday-Saturday from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m., year round except for major holidays. Please Contact Us for travel directions.

Please Contact Us if you would like to consider displaying your work at the Gallery as a participating artist. We’ll be happy to forward guidelines and an application form.
