What is an art party, you say? Well, it's a party...about art! On the first Friday of each month of the year, we open our doors to a new display from an area artist. We have drinks and light snacks, listen to some live music, and gather around the creations of our monthly visiting artist. Our sweet shop dog Lady roams around and gathers pets from all who stop in. We love it because we get to brush shoulders with all of you lovely people who make, support, and appreciate art.

shhhhhh....Secret Monster Project is coming to The Gallery!!! Tell everyone!!!

We are so very excited to host writer, speaker, doodler, mischief maker, the one, the only, the joyfully monstrous KATE WELSHOFER to The Gallery!

What is the Secret Monster Project? Kate Welshofer created a monster — actually, she created a whole bunch of them and they just keep multiplying. Oops. Secret Monster Project started as a fun, silly, no-stress, daily creative practice on New Year’s Day 2023. A lifelong doodler, Kate started posting her artwork on Instagram: a monster a day — to keep the burnout away.

Come on out to meet Kate and her monsters, and maybe doodle some monsters yourself -- this project is intended to encourage any one of any age to embrace art, creativity, positivity, and play.

As always, this event is free and open to all ages. We'll serve snacks and refreshments, and if you're lucky, you might get to pet our sweet shop dog Lady.
