Sterling Creatives hosts First Friday events each month, transforming their gallery to showcase a featured artist. Watch for their First Friday activities on Facebook or send them an email to be added to their list to receive their First Friday flyers and special events.
They also host various workshops designed to support community mental health. They believe in community involvement and have invited youth and young at heart (70+) to submit their art to their community corner.
Along with many other community groups and members, Sterling Creatives was instrumental in helping Sterling get its designation as a Creative District.
The artists have become a family of ambassadors who welcome and inform visitors not only about art, but also about the community itself. Consequently, the Gallery has become a connecting point for visitors to the larger community.
The cooperative has also turned into the spot to shop for unique gift items!
