1978 Artlink opened in the summer of 1978 by a group of young artists to promote awareness of emerging artists and art forms at 1126 Broadway Street. This space housed gallery and performance rooms, a studio for artists, and a library.
1988 Artlink moved to 1030 Broadway Street.
1991 Artlink became a funded partner of Arts United and moved to the Hall Community Arts Center at 437 E. Berry Street.
2011 Artlink moved to its current location in the Auer Center for Arts & Culture at 300 East Main Street. This move doubled the size of our gallery space and provided workrooms, office spaces, and two classrooms that house our Open Arts programs.

"Being in 212 keeps me on my game! It's validating to be associated with these other creators. It's motivating to want to keep on par with them and to always be putting my best foot forward with my mentor. When it comes to the nit picky, real in the dirt details of creating a project, having a professional to see the mistakes you can't see, and suggestions you'd never think of, is priceless." - Gabby Metzler.
