Gibby’s Wine Den continues to support artists and art lovers in the community. They welcome local artists to display their works in their gallery for sale and enjoyment. Each month Gibby’s features a different artist. Typically, there are from 10 to 30 pieces on their gallery wall available for purchase.

“We want to help to support local artists by highlighting their work in our gallery,” states Mary McHugh, Art by the Glass program coordinator. “All artwork is for sale, and many artists take commissions for a more personalized piece.”

More information about the program is available at www.gibbys-wine.com, including information about each artist and their work.

The first Friday of each month is the gallery opening and artist’s reception for the exhibit, unless otherwise noted. The artist is on-site and available for questions and discussion regarding the pieces. There are no reservations required for this event and no cover fee.
