About the Paint Locker:

The Paint Locker Fine Art Gallery was established in 2017 by artist Aaron Burks. The Paint Locker is a small art gallery in the heart of Downtown Gridley, CA, located about an hour north of Sacramento. The gallery occupies the front half of the storefront, while Aaron Burks's studio occupies the back half.

Mission:

The mission of the Paint Locker Fine Art Gallery is to bring awareness to art created by members and veterans of the Armed Forces. Many veterans go on to become professional artists, using their broad experiences as inspiration to create interesting, beautiful and often thought provoking artwork. The Paint locker seeks to exhibit these artists and bring attention to their work. Currently, there are no galleries on the West Coast that serve to exhibit veteran artists. The Paint Locker seeks to become a hub of Veteran Art activity. As a secondary mission, The Paint Locker seeks to get the surrounding community, particularly kids, interested in the world of Fine Art. The Gallery will host one or more student shows every school year. During this time, students will learn how to present their artwork in a professional setting, learning how to properly mat, frame and hang their work. In doing so, we hope that they will become more interested in the Creative Arts and better prepared to go into creative fields if they so choose.
