Off Track Art Gallery and Gifts is located in downtown Westminster, just off of Main St. and Liberty St. (Rt. 27), and right beside the railroad tracks.  In 2009, a group of adventurous local artists established Off Track Art as a cooperative of artists who could work together not only to display and sell their art, but also to encourage and support each other. 

The Gallery has been successful for the last 16 years,  even as most of the original partners have moved on to other ventures in their professional and personal lives. What each left behind are memories AND an opportunity for another local artist to apply and be juried to join the Gallery and carry on our tradition.

In addition to exhibiting and selling their own work, the cooperative's artist partners invite other juried artists to show and sell their work at the Gallery by a minimum of 3 month consignment agreements. All partners and consigners are required by contract to produce and offer ONLY original handmade work.  There is a continual renewal process as consigners are free to leave the gallery with appropriate notice, and new consigners join. This produces our ever-changing and diverse inventory of local, original, handmade work.

We also produce monthly sales exhibits showcasing the work of individual solo or group artists unaffiliated with the Gallery, providing an affordable venue for these artists to display their work to the public. We also utilize our own teaching experiences as well as those of our numerous contacts to offer workshops in conjunction with the Carroll Arts Center. We are also proud to serve as the hub for the annual Carroll County Artists' Studio Tour which is always the first full weekend in December-stop by the Gallery for your map!

And what's for sale in the gallery? There's painting, photography, collage, quilting, needle felting, hand dyed scarves, fiber art and accessories, jewelry, fused glass and stained glass, macrame, pottery, lavender products, and a large selection of handmade cards. All work is original, one-of-a-kind, and handmade by one of our LOCAL partners or one of our LOCAL consigners. And there is ALWAYS a knowledgable gallery partner available to answer your questions or to get an answer for you! Please-credit card or cash only.
