For 40 years, the Spring Street Gallery has successfully operated in a formerly abandoned horse barn that was brought back to life by community artists who wanted to showcase Block Island’s rich history and culture.

This nonprofit gallery is staffed by artist members, providing a knowledgeable and personalized experience in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Besides being a hub for local art and the island’s only art cooperative, the Spring Street Gallery showcases consignment artists, opening receptions, and art shows for both guest artists and members. As the community’s nonprofit arts and cultural center, the gallery also offers art classes, film showings, lecture and discussion series (year-round), and provides studio space to local artists in the off-season.
