Far From Ordinary. – Off Track Art Gallery & Gifts: Where Local Artists and Original Creativity Come Together\n\n\nTucked just steps from the Maryland Midland Railway in the heart of downtown Westminster\, Off Track Art is a cooperative gallery where creativity\, craftsmanship\, and community come together. \nFounded in 2009 by a group of adventurous local artists\, the gallery was built on a simple idea: create a place where artists could support one another while sharing original\, handmade work with the community. More than sixteen years later\, that vision continues through a vibrant collective of artists who create\, exhibit\, and welcome visitors from throughout Carroll County and beyond. \nEvery piece you’ll find at Off Track Art is original and handmade. From paintings\, pottery\, jewelry\, photography\, stained glass\, fiber art\, scarves\, quilting\, collage\, handmade cards\, and more\, each work is created by one of our gallery partners or carefully selected local and regional consignment artists. Because our artists are continually creating and our exhibitions regularly change\, every visit offers something new to discover. \nBeyond the gallery walls\, Off Track Art is proud to support the local arts community. We host rotating monthly exhibitions featuring solo and group artists\, collaborate on educational workshops\, and serve as the hub for the annual Carroll County Artists’ Studio Tour each December. Whether you’re looking to add original artwork to your home\, find a one-of-a-kind gift\, or simply explore the work of talented local artists\, you’ll always find something unexpected waiting inside. \nStop in\, browse at your own pace\, meet the artists\, and discover why Off Track Art has become one of Westminster’s most unique creative destinations. \n\nOFF TRACK ART WEBSITE
