About the Loading Dock Gallery

Opened in January 2008, this spacious gallery is located
in the Western Avenue Studios historic mill complex, and is divided into two sections. The front “showcase” gallery features a new show every month which may highlight the work of 1-2 members, or include a broader spectrum of work in a juried or themed show. Each exhibition provides the opportunity to meet the artist(s) and purchase artwork during an opening reception, which usually begins at 4pm on the first Saturday of the month after the Western Avenue Studios First Saturday Open Studios. You won’t want to miss this vibrant gathering of artists, collectors, admirers and individuals who support the arts. Artwork in the curated “main” gallery changes quarterly and features original fine art, handcrafted gift items, jewelry, greeting cards, handmade soap and lotions, pottery, prints, art-to-wear and much more. 

Attend a show opening, mingle and converse with artists, learn something new, purchase a special gift, or treat yourself to the joy of owning exceptional original art at the Loading Dock Gallery. The gallery is open:

Wednesday thru Saturday from 12-5:30pm
Sunday 12-4pm.
