Upstairs Art Gallery is celebrating 21 years in business -June 2018. This major milestone bestows upon the gallery the honor of being the longest running art gallery in Healdsburg history, a town that is currently the vibrant home to over 20 art galleries. This small gallery was also ahead of its time in 1997, as was the first artist-owned gallery to open in Sonoma County, a business model that has since been followed successfully by many more!

June is the time to show off Sonoma County's bounty of crops, backyard gardens and agricultural heritage. "Abundance" is the theme that is featured in the gallery front window. Art works by Carolyn Wilson, Lenona Winter, Cynthia Jackson-Hein, Willow Laland, Dan Scannell , Ron Sumner and Jill Keller Peters showcase the varied farmland offerings that are rooted in Sonoma County.

Upstairs there will be a historical showcase of artwork by many alumni artists who have been part of the gallery's 21 year past, alongside the work of the 16 current artist partners.

    FEBRUARY EXHIBIT: CLOSE TO THE HEART
    EXHIBIT DATES:  February 1 – February 28, 2021
    Sonoma County artists, Linda Baretta, Beverly Bird, Sally Cataldo, Marsha Connell, Karen Miller, Tosya Shore, Michelle Hoting, Jo Tobin-Charleston, Carolyn Wilson present “Close to the Heart,” a new perspective on this Valentine season – things that are uniquely special to each individual artist.  Shore’s “Walk this Way”  is a watercolor showing a tender moment in an older couple’s day – a scene that would touch anyone’s heart.  Miller’s contribution is “Cat in a Quandary,” a pastel painting of her quirky cat in her favorite room where all her best creativity lives.  Barretta brings us “Schoolhouse Beach,” an oil painting of a favorite local scene along the Sonoma Coast, painted with blooms beneath her feet.  Her piece glows with sundrenched color and the vibrant beauty of the red wildflowers.  Wilson’s choice, “Yosemite Valley Winter,” is a mixed media piece that takes us to this magical place in the peace and tranquility of a snowy winter scene.  Bird’s “Seeing Reds” is an acrylic painting that highlights traditional tokens of love – flowers and sweets – in delicious shades of red.  After the past crazy, dark year, the warm feelings expressed through this exhibit open the door to a beautiful spring and hope for better times.  “Because each artist’s choice is special, they resonate with the viewer,” noted Wilson.
    New Artist:  The Gallery is pleased to announce a new member artist, Sally Cataldo.  A water media artist, her expressive abstract paintings are a reflection of observations of her environment.  Working in acrylic, watercolor, gouache, her paintings are forceful designs of sophisticated color combinations, dynamic shapes and unique use of line.  Whether purely abstract or a subjective interpretation, they catch the viewer’s eye and don’t let go.  Internationally renowned, Cataldo is a published, award winning artist who has exhibited widely and participated in Sonoma County Art Trails for a number of years. Sallycataldoart.com
    The Small Works Showcase on the stairway features a members’ show along the same theme, ”Close to the Heart.”  The exhibit highlights a variety of takes on this theme in watercolor, acrylic and oil.  In addition to the artists named above, Willow Laland, Donna Schaffer, Gail Morgan, Ron Sumner, Victoria Kochergin, and Laura Roney are showing their work in this exhibit.
