Juried Art Exhibitions
Welcome to The Makery – Wake Forest’s only juried art gallery. In a juried gallery, each piece is carefully reviewed and selected by expert judges, ensuring high-quality, curated exhibitions.
Our gallery showcases original works from talented local artists across painting, ceramics, printmaking, and mixed-media. The Makery provides a platform for both emerging and established artists to share their work, connect with art lovers, and inspire the community. Explore our ever-changing exhibitions, discover new favorites, and experience a space where creativity thrives and community grows.
