Our Mission
The Duluth Art Institute enriches daily life with dynamic, innovative visual arts programming that upholds excellence and promotes inclusive community participation.



Our Goal
Bring art to, and inspire art, in everyone.
The Duluth Art Institute nurtures the development of local artists to capture the modern human experience through their work. They then create opportunities for artists to share what they’ve created in an inclusive environment — a place where people can come together to discuss their own perspectives and interpretations.

History
The Institute, started as a club in 1897 by Bishop James McGolrick, was incorporated as the Duluth Art Association in 1907.
Artists
