JOIN THE PITTSBORO GALLERY OF ARTS

Show Your Work. Meet Your People. Be Part of the Community.
Are you ready to take the next step with your art?

Pittsboro Gallery of Arts is a member-owned cooperative where artists come together to exhibit, sell, promote, and support one another.

Located in the heart of historic downtown Pittsboro, our gallery brings together artists working in painting, photography, pottery, jewelry, fiber, wood, glass, mixed media, sculpture, and more.

We believe being an artist is about more than making the work. It's also about finding your community, connecting with people who appreciate what you create, and giving your work a place to be seen.

Meet Randi Markowitz! 🎨

Randi creates vibrant, uplifting mixed-media abstract paintings that explore themes of transformation, home, and emotional storytelling. Her work begins with layers of acrylic paint, paper, stencils, marks, and found elements—and rarely ends where it started. Torn paper, texture, hidden words, and unexpected details invite you to look closer and discover what lies beneath the surface.

RANDI will be creating LIVE during our Makers Celebration!

Come watch the creative process up close, ask questions, and get a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making original art.

📅 Friday, October 16 • 5–8 PM
