GrowING Creative Careers

Public Display Agency connects artists with the people, opportunities, tools, and knowledge that help creative careers grow. From exhibitions and gallery relationships to income opportunities, professional development, and practical resources, we’re building a creative ecosystem where artists can be seen, supported, connected, and empowered to keep moving forward.

We make creativity more sustainable by creating opportunities for artists to grow through events, learning, and community access while building stronger connections between artists, galleries, and the wider creative community.

In Their Words

Hear what PDA artists have to say about working with us:

Definitely participate!! David and Michelle are two of the most wonderful, kindest and talented souls that truly care about your work and they go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and confident. I’ve had the privilege to work with them for almost 5 years. I love them!!

Carla's Colors

Do it! Low cost, low hassle, simple. The best way to expand your reach as an artist.

Highlight Photo Tours

The juice is worth the squeeze. The organization makes it easy to show up and present yourself in a clean, friendly atmosphere surrounded by like-minded individuals. I will absolutely do it again.
