Located at 118 N 4th Ave in Ann Arbor, the Gutman Gallery serves as a year-round expression of the mission of the Guild of Artists and Artisans: to support its members professional art careers through worthwhile marketing opportunities, as well as foster arts programming for the community.
The Gutman Gallery operates as both an exhibition space and a retail gallery. Exhibition applications are open to both members and non-members to assist the professional growth of emerging artists. Each exhibition is juried with a rigorous standards process, ensuring exceptional creativity and technical skill. This approach results in finely curated exhibitions showcasing a diverse range of artistic expressions. Additionally, the gallery shop provides current Guild members with an opportunity to showcase and sell their work, offering highly competitive commission rates that allow artists to retain a significant percentage of their sales.
Since it’s establishment in 2020, the Gutman Gallery has provided a multitude of artist opportunities and community oriented arts programming. From solo showcases in satellite exhibition spaces and gallery shop trunk shows, to workshops and life-drawing open to the public, the Gutman Gallery strives to serve it’s community of artists and art lovers.

Vic Gutman is the president and founder of VGA (Vic Gutman & Associates Consulting). While a student at University of Michigan, he played a key role in founding the Free Fair, now known as the Summer Art Fair, at the university’s request. In 1973, he also established the Michigan Guild of Artists and Artisans.
Since founding the VGA, he has provided communications, organizational development, event management, and fundraising services for hundreds of nonprofit organizations in Nebraska, Iowa, and Michigan. His extensive knowledge of Omaha’s philanthropic community has facilitated millions of dollars in fundraising for various nonprofits, including The Rose Theater, COMMON, Immigrant Legal Center, Tri-Faith Initiative of Omaha, Latino Center of the Midlands, MENTOR Nebraska, and Girls Inc. Vic has worked on over 100 events, including significant milestones like Detroit’s 300th anniversary, Nebraska’s Lewis and Clark Bicentennial, and Omaha’s 150th birthday celebration.
