Chelsea Art Alley & Residency
Transforming the pedestrian corridor in downtown Chelsea into a living canvas — where art happens in full view and the alley itself becomes the gallery.
Art, Inside Out
A gallery you can walk through — and watch being made
Located directly behind Geek Brush Studio at 108 E. Middle Street, the Chelsea Art Alley reimagines the corridor between 105 and 107 Main Street. It’s a dual-concept space: a weatherproof outdoor gallery open to the public 24/7, and a live “fishbowl” studio where artists work in full view of the town.
Visible creation.
Watch art happen in real time. Our fishbowl studio windows turn the creative process into a public performance.
All-weather gallery.
Rotating exhibitions reproduced on durable aluminum panels keep the alley colorful in snow, rain, or shine.
Community connection.
Home to the Main Street Masterpiece public vote — Chelsea picks the work that stays on display.
