Utility Works

Support Utility Works is a place where entrepreneurs have access to education, support, and connections to succeed!

🎨 We’re getting ready for our next exhibition at the Kiosk Gallery

Install is starting, and watching a show come together piece by piece is always one of our favorite moments.

Up next: An Adoptee’s Artistic Journey by Utility Works member artist Emma Sarr (). This deeply personal body of work explores identity, culture, and self-discovery

🎨 Last Chance to See Lansdowne Roots

This Saturday is your final opportunity to experience Lansdowne Roots at the Utility Works Kiosk Gallery.

Featuring artists who grew up just blocks apart in Lansdowne, the exhibition reflects on how place shapes creative work over time—through memory, observation, and everyday life.

🗓 Closing Saturday
🕙 Thursday and Friday noon-8pm, Saturday 10 AM – 6 PM
📍 Utility Works Kiosk Gallery, 32 E Baltimore Ave, Lansdowne

We loved this weekend’s Professional Development workshop 💭🎨

We got to spend time talking about something a lot of artists don’t get taught: how to position your work so people actually understand it, connect with it, and hire you for it. Because making the work is only part of it.

At LEDC, we’re not just creating space for artists, we’re trying to build real pathways: ➡️ to audiences ➡️ to opportunities ➡️ to sustainable creative work

More to come soon — including a workshop on working with galleries 👀
