You do not need to have any experience to join and you will be welcomed by a very loving group of individuals. This is not a religious gathering. Please join us if you could use an hour of deep relaxation!

The urge to create or possess a visual representation of a specific person – a portrait – is present throughout history. Portraits are created for many reasons: from sentimental to celebratory, for public or private viewing, as memorials, and as icons. .

Until the introduction of photography in the 1840s, portraits were rendered by artists in both two and three-dimensional mediums such as paintings and sculptures.

The Museum’s collection includes a variety of portraits, most of which depict local people. In this exhibition, we learn of portraiture and the people portrayed.

Just beware! The culprit is hiding in plain sight somewhere in the room, and you may find yourself as a Prime Suspect before you know it!

Join us for an event that is very different from a traditional mystery dinner show. Our actors are not dressed in costume and are hidden in the audience! This results in a fun, social and interactive evening suitable for all adults.

Each ticket includes our signature award-winning mystery dinner theatre show, along with a full plated dinner, waitstaff gratuity, and plenty of surprises during the show.

First Friday Opening Reception November 7th from 6-9 pm:

"Anthology”

All Member Exhibition

An anthology is a selected group of literary or other artistic works by multiple authors, gathered together into a single collection. The word originates from the ancient Greek word “anthologia”, which literally translates to “flower-gathering” or “bouquet of flowers”. What a lovely visual image for our show!

Here in our anthology version, the gallery members have all come together in a collection of outstanding two-dimensional works, with an added bonus. As a nod to the literary theme of the title, each artist has had the opportunity to write something about their work and its inspiration, should they choose to do so.

Also, we will be hosting a silent auction of 3-D artworks of pottery & ceramics. The silent auction will be open from First Friday to the end of the month Saturday the 29th.

Lastly, during First Friday we will be hosting another Poetry Night. We are inviting local poets and people interested in poetry to write or bring in their poetry and give readings to the other participants.

The Anthology Group Exhibition will be on view till the 29th.

Our consignment artist for November will be local ceramist Brandon Smith

Gallery Hours: Wednesday/Thursday/Saturday 10 am to 4pm; Friday Noon to 6 pm.
