Would you rather express yourself by displaying art or wearing it?
Perhaps you would like to do both! Either way, we can help you out here at Gather. We have work from dozens of artists that create a wide range of decorative art, jewelry, and other wearable handmade pieces. You will definitely find unique items to express yourself here. Come visit us! 
EVENTS

Gather will be showcasing new work from Ryan Woods in our gallery for the month of February! Opening reception is February 3rd from 5-8pm during Gallery Walk.


On Saturday, February 11th, we will be hosting a trunk show with TWO local artists!

In the front, you will find beautiful, hand-crafted jewelry from local metalsmith (and tea lady extraordinaire) Kayla Maldonado of Florum Jewelry. Kayla is inspired by plants and the life around her, and it shows in her simple and delicate jewelry designs.

At the back of the shoppe, you will find the work of Brown County artist and weaver, Sarah Dye of Schooner Creek Farms. Sarah will be demonstrating throughout the day and have an abundance of amazing wearables and accessories that she has hand-crafted on her loom in Southern Indiana.
