OUR PURPOSE
The Art Board of The Presbyterian Church of Bowling Green recognizes the important role the visual arts have played in personal expression and in religious life through the ages. As part of our church outreach ministry, our gallery displays art in a variety of media. Through periodic exhibits, artist receptions, and participation in local art events, our gallery contributes to the creative dialogue between church and community.
CALL TO ARTISTS
The Presbyterian Church Arts Board invites artists to submit to the exhibits in Gallery TPC. The gallery in the Fellowship Hall is used by church members, but also serves as an event space for the entire south central Kentucky community.
Eligibility and Selection

Exhibit Space
The Fellowship Hall is a 50’x60’ space with can lights along the walls which light individual works of art. All work is hung from a traditional picture rail.
