Mandalas have a powerful significance in many religions and traditions especially Hinduism and Buddhism. The mandala was used to form symbolic relationships between the spirit and the universe. It represents the cycle of occurrence, reoccurrence, and existence. The mandala is a space of creativity, a symbol of deeper connection with the self and the universe at large. Today’s mandalas are used as a tool for meditation to enhance focus, silence thoughts, combat stress and anxiety, increase ones appreciation for the beauty of nature and form a greater connection with the spiritual self.

The work of Bethany Peck is showing in the Back Door Gallery through October 31.

Congratulations to Wendy James who follows Suzanne Hodge as the Whistler House Artist of the Month! Two fabulous painters whose work is featured in our gallery.

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 show every 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.

​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.
