We've been enjoying some of our own "March Madness" at the gallery in 2011 - and it's been great fun! We're getting ready to add some unique opportunities at the gallery this spring and have been testing the waters with some wonderful groups of aspiring and inspiring "artists." This past Friday evening, 7 women and one 3-year-old gathered for our "Sip, Taste, Paint, Repeat" - with spring flowers

Thanks to all of our featured artists (and art shoppers) during Oct., Nov. and Dec. 2010. You can check out photos from our open houses and artists receptions by clicking here. We also enjoyed featuring a few other local businesses - WineTime, Olive Twist, and Madeleine's Bakehouse - as part of our receptions. The gallery was closed in Jan. and Feb. of 2011 - partly for inventory, partly while

Thanks to everyone who came out to our "Out of Africa" Artist Reception and Open House in November. So many enjoyed seeing and learning about Chicago-area Artist Amy Odom's exhibit of African-inspired original paintings and giclee canvases and prints, plus a small selection of limited edition, African-inspired glass pendants. Her originals went back to Chicago with Amy, but prints and some

The American Craft Council celebrated "green" by featuring artists who view "going green" as a method of artistic expression. The council now recognizes a category — "GreenCraft" — at most of the shows in the past few years, and close to 25% of artsts create all or a portion of their work with recycled materials and/or sustainable processes. More and more artists are using or incorporating found,

If you stop by our booth at Taste of the Arts on Aug. 28, you'll have a chance to see a few items from local and regional artists new to the gallery this fall. Take a look....... Designs by Sue Ann... Wife, mother, and now grandmother — Sue Crawford has always enjoyed the arts, but hadn't quite found that certain "niche" that fit. Inspired by her beautiful granddaughters, Sue began to design

We're happy to report that we can finally see the end of construction drawing near! Our mantra has been "it will be great when it's done" - and it already is. This photo, taken back in March, gave us cause for pause - will it EVER be finished? Somehow when you have mounds of dirt in front of your building (yes, it beats the peat), you're not so sure. But driveways have been poured, a cut to the
