Open Source Gallery is an arts-based non-profit organization inspired by the open source movement. In the spirit of this free exchange of knowledge, it provides a forum where art intersects with the community and the world at large. Open Source energizes a diverse and creative community for people of all ages and backgrounds with an emphasis on expression, experimentation, sustainability, and social engagement.

Open Source’s commitment to producing site-specific contemporary art programming in a residential neighborhood creates a unique and unconventional environment for artists to present their ideas to the public. The organization works hard to build bridges between artists and community members, resulting in deeply engaged audiences for the work it supports. To ensure that artists’ projects extend beyond their immediate context, the organization produces an annual catalog of all exhibitions featuring commissioned texts, images and special artifacts from the exhibitions, which range from posters to pamphlets to fabric sculptures.
