From iconic artists and not so famous artists to the bullet holes in the wall, the Palette & Chisel has a history as colorful as the art we produce.
Our Mission
The mission of The Palette & Chisel Academy of Fine Arts is to foster growth in the visual arts, provide a place for serious artists to work, and enrich the community with programs of practical art education, art appreciation and exhibitions.
Over the past 129 years, artists of all kinds have used the Palette & Chisel as a place to gather and create. From geniuses of realism and founders of art nouveau, to dedicated amateurs and students, the Palette & Chisel has been, and continues to be, a home to all. Both past and current Palette & Chisel members include revered Illustrators, portrait painters, watercolorists, and sculptors, to name only a few.
