Paintpushers


About Paintpushers

We are the Paintpushers. A small group of visual artists who come together to critique monthly and show our new work annually. Our work is fresh, innovative and contemporary. We are motivated in presenting Des Moines with an alternative venue to purchasing and viewing original, fine art by upcoming and established local artists.

The Paintpushers site is a multi-author blog and online art gallery devoted to art in the central Iowa area. Its purpose is to share ideas and gain wider exposure for its members.

Paintpushers.com is built with Expression Engine. The current design is a modified version of Luke Stevens' "Trendy Blue" theme.

We can also be found on Facebook.
