Our BackStage Art Gallery 

Our Gallery is open 2 hours prior to showtimes and during shows.

Meet our Artists!

Deertrees considers it an honor to display and offer a gallery for local artists throughout the summer in what was originally the back-stage area of the theater, a legacy of when Deertrees staged lavish operas. For summer 2023 the BackStage Art Gallery will continue to showcase creative works of a number of local artisans, as well as, introduce new display areas and theater merchandise.  Board member and artist Karen Pettengill will be coordinating and scheduling the art openings at Deertrees. 
​
​The BackStage Art Gallery space also provides performance space for shows and literary events. This space makes for an intimate venue space for small gatherings, conferences and receptions.

Artist Reception with food and drinks on
Friday June 23rd 2023
 in the Salt Lick Cabaret space at 6:30pm for your Entertainment!
