Group Ten Gallery had its start in 2012 when a local Kent businessman offered a downtown co-op gallery space to ten local artists who were looking to exhibit their work. The artists quickly organized and created a vibrant calendar of annual exhibitions. Unfortunately, in 2020 the spread of Covid 19 ended the gallery space lease and the Group Ten Gallery was forced to close its doors. However, the artists decided to stick together and continue to exhibit their diverse work together under the new name The Artists of Group Ten.
