Newport, R.I., April 1, 2025 – Newport Wine Cellar & Gourmet and Gallery Sitka® announce the next monthly “2nd Fridays/All You Need is Art & Wine” celebration. The upcoming show on Friday, April 11 from 4:30-6pm is themed “Floral Feast.”
This reception will be held at the newly unveiled Newport Wine Cellar & Gourmet’s The Tasting Room located adjacent to the flagship shop at 5 Merton Road, Newport. “All You Need is Art & Wine” is free and open to all.
Gallery Sitka®, in permanent residence at The Tasting Room, adorns the walls with contemporary art, rotating exhibits, and monthly artist-attended opening receptions.

Gallery Sitka® owner Tamar Russell Brown, states, “We are thrilled to announce the opportunity for local artists to submit their work for upcoming shows at The Tasting Room. The Gallery Sitka website is now open for submissions. Local artists are encouraged to visit and upload their bio, artist statement, and three recent works at gallerysitka.com/newport-wine-cellar.”
She adds, “I think all of us are ready for nature’s spring colors and energy. We plan to expedite that burst of color with our latest show, “Floral Feast.” This will be a feast for the senses – art, wine, and carefully curated decor which aims to create beauty in everyday life.”
