The Table Art Gallery is a
beautiful space created by Val Harris and several local craftsmen.
"With this gallery my intention has been to design a harmonious, creative, and holistic space which encourages people to come through the door to look at the paintings. They may sit awhile at the table enjoying the exhibition; art books nestle under a window seat, doodle pads and pens are available to all, strangers sit comfortably beside one another on benches. There is nothing that cannot be brought to The Table."
