Gallery Sitka™ opened in May 2014 and is currently located in Phoenix Park Mill in Shirley, MA. The Gallery’s Missions is to support the arts, to be part of the creative economy and provide a space for emerging artists to be seen and to have the experience of showing their work in a gallery-style atmosphere.

Gallery Sitka’s style is in line with a quote from one of their favorite artists, Ilse Buchert Nesbitt, that “art should uplift”. To that end, the work is this show is meant to enhance and beautify spaces — the focus on contemporary abstraction. Gallery Sitka encourages viewers to open their minds to how abstract art is easy on the eyes — a relief from the chaotic situations in human history, both current and past. Abstract art in this show, will offer viewers the ability to transfer into each work what they want to see.

The exhibit which features a variety of styles and mediums, though there will be a heavy focus on abstraction, will be on display and open to the public from March 27– May 8, during open Center hours, Wednesday- Friday 12-5 and Saturday 10-2.
