We are committed to providing exhibition space, educational opportunities, networking, promotion, art-related products, and personal support to our local artists.


8. Financial Sanity: We operate in direct proportion to our tangible resources. We will never borrow money to buy supplies or services or to pay our bills. If we cannot afford it, we will not buy it, no matter what that means.

Our kids art classes are designed to serve these objectives. Our kids are our future, they need positive, constructive, creative activities in their lives more than ever. This is the purpose behind every class we offer.

Giclee Printing, Imaging and Artist Representation

"In the past couple years I’ve had requests for prints of my original acrylic paintings. I’ve been especially pleased with the fine art giclée prints I’ve had produced at Collins Artworks. I attribute the high quality of the prints to Steve Collins keen eye for color. As an artist himself, he’s talented, and is able to make the giclée a beautiful likeness of my original work. Steve and Sheryll Collins work very hard to showcase the talents of emerging and established artists in their art center in Clinton and I like that they can offer artists the option of selling prints of their original works." - Lori MacDonald Fine Art Acrylics about Giclee Printing and Artist Representation

I'd recommend this camp to anyone." - Pam Short, Lancaster.

Sheri does a very thorough and thoughtful job of planning out her sessions by theme and exposing the kids to art techniques and artists from a variety of cultures. I have noticed much of what Sheri teaches coming through in the "doodles" and general craft-time here at home--clearly the girls are absorbing so much. Thanks Sheri!" - Jen Wiley-Cordone.

Custom Framing and Portrait Photography:

"We love our new family portraits! Thanks, Rachel: Great job in the studio. Thanks, Stephen, for the custom framing. Gave away 2 framed family portraits to the grandparents this past weekend. They loved them. :)" - Kathy Tamburri.

"We are new to the area. Sheryll & Steve were recommended to us by our neighbors. We brought them two prints that needed matting. Our son-in-law was making the frame. They worked with me to help decide on the best matting choices that would help the prints "pop". Once the frames were completed, we brought them in and Steve assembled it all. They offer attention to detail, quality workmanship, and they were great to work with. I would definitely recommend them!" - Sue Scarlett

Got me painting again in watercolors." - Alice Trussell.
