Powow Portal by Kevin Talbot

Due to the physical distancing requirements we will not have a reception but the gallery will be open starting July 1st, Wednesdays through Saturdays 11 am to 4 pm (closed on July 4th). Please come and visit and tell your friends. There are always fresh artworks to see. Our outside windows get changed monthly and we are utilizing every inch of them, so you can view new works from the sidewalk. We are also keeping a safe environment as much as we can. You enter in one door and exit from the other following the traffic arrows.
Masks are required for your protection and ours; hand sanitizer is at the door for your convenience.

The gallery will re-open with reduced hours on July 1st – Wednesday to Saturday 11 am to 4 pm.

Artists, please follow the dates below so that we can prepare for re-opening. The drop off and pick up is Saturday June 20th 11 am to 4 pm.
