Worried about health and safety? Masks are encouraged and we have hand sanitizer stations at several points around the gallery. Also, we will be changing the way we serve hor d’oeuvres, to pre-portioned individual serving cups. We will still be serving wine, but all cups will be disposable.
Due to the chaos that is 2020 our art shows are temporarily on hold to keep both artists and visitors safe. As we were shut down for a large portion of the time “Pathways” has been on display we will be leaving this show up to be viewed.
We are looking forward to hosting shows and events for our local art community again soon, until then, everyone stay healthy and creative!
Given the close “quaint” quarters of our gallery and an abundance of caution, we sadly are canceling the Jam Session with Byron Haynie scheduled for this evening.

cliché, a show about all the artwork we have made that left our teachers rolling their eyes, or our artsy friends called unoriginal. The truth is there is no such thing as originality, as artists we build off the traditions and ideas of others regardless of the mediums we choose.

It is time again for out summer open call show, this year’s theme is “Dream.”
Theme: Dream
Dreams take us to other worlds while we sleep. The thoughts of the day mix with our imagination until they are a jumbled stream of sounds and images that only fully make sense while sleeping. When you wake trying to remember them is like trying to gather water in your hands, it just runs through the spaces between your fingers.
Daydreams interrupt the monotony of the day to transport us to different situations and worlds. Here we have control and can determine where the story goes.
Dreams can also be distant goals, far out of our reach but still tantalizingly possible.
