  • "Hillsborough Gallery of Arts has had over 60 artist member/owners. 15,000 visitors crossed our threshold in 2024 and we’ve sold nearly four million dollars worth of local art since our inception. The infrastructure of community art walks and arts events has built up around us. I’ve found inspiration and solace, friendship and professional growth in this organization. In other words, I stumbled on this visual artist’s version of heaven.

    —Ellie Reinhold

  • "What I appreciate most about the Gallery is how much freedom individual members have to decide what they will show here. Yes, the artist is accepted in a particular medium, but within that medium, he or she is allowed to grow and change in whatever direction their inspiration takes them. (And more than one member has changed mediums over time.) No gallery owner decides that only a certain kind of work is acceptable. We are the owners,and for the most part we each decide what kind of work we will do."

    —Marcy Lansman

  • "For twenty years, the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts has been both a home and a creative anchor for the community—a place where my fused glass work has grown alongside a community of artists who continually inspire, challenge, and support one another. When I first joined, I was simply looking for a space to share my craft. What I found instead was a collaborative environment that shaped my artistic voice and encouraged me to push the boundaries of what glass can express.

    —Mark Kinsella

  • "I’ve grown not only technically as an artist but also in my knowledge of the business of art. But the work has also been joyful. As artists we work mostly alone to produce our artwork but in the gallery we work as partners, bringing our best selves to our business as the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts."

    —Chris Graebner

  • "Being part of this gallery turned out to be one of the best decisions I could have made. My hobby transitioned into a full-time career, and the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts played a significant role in establishing my reputation as a glass artist."

    —Pringle Teetor

  • "When I first interviewed at HGA, not too long ago, I noticed an exuberant collective of creative energy, where every artist has a stake in our shared success. For me, this shared community and sense of purpose has been a powerful catalyst. As a woodturner, seeing the exceptional art at HGA has pushed me to be more disciplined and brave, encouraging me to 'push the envelope' with larger, more technically demanding forms in green wood.

    —Rohit Warrier

  • "Joining the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts changed everything for me. This artist-owned space brought me into a warm circle of fellow creators and art lovers who share the same fire. It’s given me real inspiration, steady support, and a deeper sense of purpose in my work."

    —Jason Smith

  • "I joined just as I was beginning to sell my work. I had plenty of enthusiasm, but little understanding of what it meant to be a professional, working artist. Being part of this artist-owned gallery has helped me grow tremendously. I am surrounded by artists who generously share their experience and insight. I have learned how to speak about my work with greater confidence, how to approach pricing in a practical way, and how to navigate the business side of art while still protecting the heart of why I create. Seeing my work on the walls encourages me to refine my style and stay committed to my practice. Feedback from both fellow artists and visitors helps me better understand how my work resonates'"
