The Grove Gallery is a contemporary art gallery located in Downtown Evanston, IL.The focus of the gallery is on painting, drawing and printmaking. The emphasis is on building community, and hosts several fundraisers a year in which revenue from art sales are directed toward various environmental and social causes.


In 2024, the Grove Gallery opened in Evanston. Impressionistic and Surrealist landscape paintings and prints are available for purchase by both emerging and established artists from the Midwest. Calls for art are posted online to give artists opportunities to apply for group exhibitions. 


Exhibitions rotate monthly, and receptions are held on the First Saturday of every month.
