We had a great first day for our April show, and lots of friends and art lovers came out for our opening reception on Friday night. Thanks to Janet Hamilton for the photos!

Our show opens tomorrow! Our opening reception will run from 6-8 pm on Friday, April 5th, with live music, food and the opportunity to meet the artists. The show is not quite ready to go, but here are a few preview photos:

Hi everyone, our spring show is now over. Thanks to everyone who made it to the gallery this month (not to mention the beautiful weather and the perfectly timed tulip bloom)! Please check back here for information on our holiday show, which I believe will be held from November 16-19, 2012. If you’re on Facebook, please Like our page for regular updates on our shows and participating artists!

We have several events happening at the gallery this week. On Tuesday the 17th from 11am-1pm, artist Wendy Ross will give a demonstration of painting on porcelain using overglaze paints with an explanation of the painting and firing process. On Wednesday from 1-3pm, artist Amy Han will be working with spinning wheel and fleece, creating yarn from sheep’s wool, for a hands-on demonstration of this enjoyable, tactile craft. Finally, on Saturday the 21st, Campbell Road will return for another performance of live Celtic music from 12-2pm.

And as always, the gallery will be open from 11am-6pm every day. We hope you’ll stop by!

The show got off to a great start on Friday, with gorgeous weather and great attendance at our opening reception. If you didn’t make it to the party, it’s not too late! We’re open every day through April 22, from 11am-6pm. Come check out our wonderful selection of paintings, pottery, weavings, jewelry, gourds and other beautiful handmade items!
