Gilbert Art Walk

George Lenz, a local photographer, will be the person behind the new Gilbert Art Walk. It will be held at the Water Tower Plaza on the 4th Friday of each month from 6 to 10 in the evening.  Please come and support your local artists. 

Unique, Hand-crafted and Affordable!

With the holidays quickly approaching, here are some ideas for gifts from the gallery.  These are truly affordable luxuries for the special people on your list.  In addition to these, we also have a nice supply of beautiful ornaments, soaps and candles, glass items, functional ceramic pieces, jewelry and much more all under $50.  Come in and browse.  You'll feel no pressure to buy.  The artists from whom I buy make such lovely items that even if you don't purchase some, you'll enjoy just walking around and seeing them.

This small Rambunctious Raven is one of many available from the work of Bett York.  The others share the same color scheme and similar paper hat but each is distinctive in size and design.  They are great by themselves or in groupings.  This whimsical little guy is $20.

 

These ornaments from Daniela M are actual egg shells which she has painted, then engraved with the image of Gilbert's own iconic water tower and one-time adobe jail house.  Isn't this the perfect addition to your tree or a great gift for your out-of-town relatives?  They'll think of you each and every time they put it on their own tree!  The large ornaments are $17 and smaller ones only $11.

This little jam jar from Otis Pottery is about five inches tall but has substantial heft to it.  It would make a great and unique gift at only $32.  As with all of Andrew Otis' pieces, it shows the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures.

This small dish from Silver Ridge Pottery is labelled as a soap dish, yet I see it as serving so many different functions.  How about a ring or jewelry holder, a candle holder, or a spoon rest?  Best of all, it can merely be displayed as shown so that its features can be admired.  It is only $10.

Finally, here is Molly Phoenix's stained glass version of a martini.   It's about 8-9 inches tall and is $25.  This is only one of many of Molly's smaller pieces.  You'll also find Mary Janes and shore birds, both the little girls and the birds sport guitar string legs and beads for feet.  She also has a champagne glass complete with the bubbles effervescing into the air.
