Located at 223 State Street alongside Artisan Gallery, Art Path Gallery, and Broome County Arts Council offices, Artful Child Gallery is not only a showcase of the art works of young artists (age 4-16) in our community, but also a space offering arts programs for children.

NoMa’s Aspiring Artists Workshop
July 2024
Opening Reception: Friday, July 5 from 6-9PM
NoMa’s Aspiring Artists (Ages 8-12): This Pilot Program was funded by the Broome County Youth Bureau and launched in April 2024. The Aspiring Artist Workshop ran for 6 weeks focusing on a different aspect of creative expression each week. Our young Aspiring Artists were given 2 hours each Saturday (April 27th-June 1st, 2024) to develop their craft with parent participation, local artist and NoMa Community Center Coordinator, Brandy Brown and Assistant Coordinator Micah Genung. Our Aspiring Artists were and are encouraged to explore various career pathways in their chosen art form.
About Noma: The NoMa Community Center is a special place. Each week, we offer free programs to our community that range from our weekly NoMa Clothing Closet where we provide free clothing and personal care items for all, to after school activities with teachers, resume building workshops, and community meals.
Young artists: Be a part of the vibrant and supportive art community in Binghamton!
The Artful Child Gallery at Broome County Arts Council hosts exhibitions featuring the artwork of young artists (age 4-16) from our community. This is a fantastic opportunity to have your work displayed in a professional gallery setting, share your creativity with the public, and inspire others with your unique perspective. We are currently accepting submissions for an exhibiting artist who works in any 2 dimensional art form (drawing, painting, photography, mixed media, etc) and has a collection of 10-20 completed artworks ready to exhibit during July and August 2024.
To submit: Take clear photos of your artwork and send samples of 5 artworks along with a brief artist statement (including name, age and a description of your artwork). Email submissions to cbarnes@broomearts.org with the subject line “Artful Child Exhibition Submission”. Applications due by June 10, 2024. We can’t wait to see your amazing creations!
Unleash your creativity and join us in celebrating the next generation of artists!
