Explore original art from local artists inside the Merced Multicultural Arts Center at 645 W. Main Street, Merced, CA 95340.
A longstanding local artist cooperative centered on connecting Merced-area artists, collectors, and the community.
Arbor Gallery is a cooperative gallery located on the first floor of the Merced Multicultural Arts Center, commonly called The MAC. Visitors can browse original work and connect with local artists during regular gallery hours and events.
The gallery's stated mission is to cultivate the arts in our community, with a vision centered on art's ability to enrich lives, grow communities, shift perspectives, and connect people.
Arbor Gallery traces its beginnings to a small group of local watercolor artists who began showing work together in 1981. The gallery's name comes from its earlier location on Arbor Way, and it later moved with the Merced County Arts Council to its current home inside The MAC on West Main Street.

Arbor Gallery is designed around local artists and a changing selection of original work rather than a permanent collection.
Browse work from local artists across multiple media and styles, with pieces available for purchase through the gallery.
The co-op format creates opportunities to connect directly with participating artists during gallery hours and events.
Because Arbor Gallery is inside The MAC, a visit can also coincide with rotating exhibitions, classes, performances, and other arts programming.
