Salisbury Art Space (formally known as Art Institute and Gallery) is located in downtown Salisbury, Maryland.

SAS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit arts organization, funded in part by the Maryland State Arts Council (funding for the Maryland State Arts Council is also provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency), The Salisbury Wicomico Arts Council (SWAC), and the City of Salisbury. Another outstanding partner is the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore. CFES has awarded SAS many programmatic grants, enabling us to offer exceptional art education programs and unique exhibitions. Salisbury Art Space is locally supported by other community organizations and foundations, individual donations, memberships, designated donor funds and an annual appeal.

Originally established in 1953 as the Salisbury Art League, SAS is now beginning its 70th year of service. The mission of SAS is to advance the visual arts in the mid-Delmarva region through exhibitions for seasoned and emerging artists and art education for children and adults.
