About Us

Opened in January 2008, this spacious gallery is located on the second floor of the Western Avenue Studios historic mill complex, and is divided into three sections.
​
The front Showcase Gallery features a new exhibit each month which may highlight the work of our members, or feature a broader spectrum of work in a juried or themed show. Each exhibition provides the opportunity to "Meet the Artist(s)" on the first Saturday of the month. 
​The Back Door Gallery around the corner of the gallery main door, features a gallery member for two months. During November and December most members have their work on view.

​Artwork in the curated main galleries is changed quarterly and features original fine art and crafts including photography, paintings, handcrafted gift items, jewelry, greeting cards, handmade soap and lotions, pottery, digital prints and works on paper, art-to-wear and much more. 
Attend a show opening, learn something new, purchase a special gift, or treat yourself to the joy of owning exceptional original art at the Loading Dock Gallery.

Loading Dock Gallery is a program of Loading Dock Arts, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation.
