Newport, R.I., March 5, 2025 – Newport Wine Cellar & Gourmet and Gallery Sitka® have joined efforts in offering a monthly celebration called “2nd Fridays/All You Need is Art & Wine.” The upcoming show on Friday, March 14 from 4:30-6pm is themed “Spring Greens”.
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.

Patrons and new-comers alike are invited to experience the new space and fine products that provide inspiration to create beauty in everyday life.

Furnished by LBD Designs, The Tasting Room offers a private selection of Mid-Century Modern pieces, and iconic and emerging designs for the home. All art, furniture, wine and food are available for purchase.
Gallery Sitka® owner Tamar Russell Brown, states, “I’m excited about this collaboration. Maria and I have compatible visions and goals, and we are both graduates of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program. We each work to support other small businesses and plan to support each other in larger ways in the future. Pairing art and decor is a natural fit; we hope to inspire Newporters and guests to enjoy gourmet fare and New England art geared to enrich lives.”
