Crete Creative Gallery & School
Crete Creative is now collaborating with the Crete Public Library!
Our current exhibits can be viewed on the second floor of the library during open hours each week! Special events are listed on our Facebook and Events page!
Crete Creative Gallery and School is a nonprofit organization dedicated to showcasing artists from both near and far. We believe that culture and the arts should be available to everyone. Talent is not reserved for big cities and neither is a love, an interest, or a passion for the arts...
Current Exhibition:
Steven Schroeder's "The Beat of the Sounding Body"
Steven Schroeder is a Chicago poet and visual artist who strives to reach “lyrical abstraction” through his work. He begins his process with an inspiration and the three primary pigments of red, blue, and yellow - adding titanium white, ink or graphite for vibrancy and depth. He believes that abstraction reveals the “emergence of the mind” that exists between our body, others, and the world around us.
An Opening Reception & Art Market will be held on January 25th, 2025
@ 11 AM to 1 PM
This exhibit is only on display from January 24th until March 18th, 2025 @ Crete Public Library, 2nd Floor Gallery @ 1177 Main St, Crete IL 60417

Special Announcement
from our Founder and Board of Directors...
In 2024, Crete Creative began our close partnership with the Crete Public Library for exhibition and event space. This change has been welcomed warmly by the community we love so much and the artists who make our organization possible. As 2025 draws nearer, we're proud to announce that more local partnerships are being built to spread our mission to every corner of Crete! Now, more than ever, artistic expression and education are vital for amplifying each person's voice. Giving them the tools they desire to share their story and create a stronger community - together!
