Artesã Gallery is a private studio-gallery that partners with the nonprofit Rivoli Arts District (RAD). It is a non-commercial space and independent artist-run project and is not a registered nonprofit organization, dedicated to study, exhibitions, and community engagement.

[arteˈzã] — feminine noun, from artesão (Portuguese): one who crafts with skill and soul.

Though new to the art world, our passion, intention, and commitment run deep. Artesã Gallery was founded on the belief that every artist deserves to be seen, especially those whose voices have historically been overlooked.

Our curated exhibitions aim to spark dialogue and nurture connection, with each piece chosen for its craftsmanship, resonance, and enduring voice. While we place emphasis on elevating underrepresented perspectives, our doors remain open to all, celebrating the full spectrum of artistic expression.

We envision a future where artistic diversity is not the exception, but the foundation. At Artesã, every artist is recognized, valued, and heard.

Located within La Crosse’s Rivoli Art District (RAD), Artesã is part of a vibrant community of local artists (including retail shops). Together, we foster creativity, collaboration, and connection through art, offering free public events year-round.
