Quilted portrait of Arthur Gmeiner, 2019, fabric and batting by Kathy Plumley and Self-Portrait, acrylic on canvas by Arthur Gmeiner.

The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is a hidden gem in Wellsboro. Located at 134 Main Street behind the Green Free Library, the Gmeiner provides a showcase for local artists in changing monthly exhibits, a meeting space for community groups, a performance venue for musicians, and a studio space for classes and workshops. All of this was made possible by the generous gifts of our founder, Arthur Gmeiner.

But the Gmeiner could also use YOUR gifts! Maybe you could help with small maintenance and painting projects. Or maybe you would like to help host receptions? Would you be interested in assisting with children’s art classes? Or deep cleaning once in a while? Wherever your talents lie, they are welcome here at the Gmeiner! You are invited to a meeting on Monday, April 25th at noon in the Studio of the Gmeiner to explore the possibilities of a new “Friends of the Gmeiner” group. The purpose of this group will be to have a group of volunteers to draw from for projects to benefit the Gmeiner.

If you cannot attend the meeting on April 25th, but would like to volunteer, please contact Carrie Heath, the Gmeiner director, at (570) 724-1917 or director@gmeinerartculturalcenter.org. If you would like to help, but do not have free time currently, donations are always appreciated! If you would like to make a donation to the Gmeiner’s operating fund, you can send or bring a check to: 134 Main Street, Wellsboro, PA 16901 during our operating hours of 12-6PM Tuesday through Sunday. Or call (570) 724-1917 between the hours of 12-3PM Monday to Friday to make a donation over the phone using a credit card. Or go to the donation page on our website: www.gmeinerartculturalcenter.org to make a secure payment with a credit card or PayPal.
