Streetlights in Chester 16x8

The Gallery at Maple and Main has been open for 2 months! In that short time we have sold 18 paintings of various subjects, mediums, styles, and prices. They said it couldn't be done. This wonderful gallery is a collaboration of 33 fine artists, many have national or international recognition. There is variety, and yet the abstracts complement the representational art in this stunning salon style gallery in the heart of Chester, CT.

Well, the current show is going down... Sunday is the last day that you can view this show. That means a new show is going up! Artists will be dropping off new work on Sunday and the gallery hanging committee will work very hard to have the gallery ready for Wednesday, which is the next business day, and the first day that the new show will be open to the public.

Friday Dec 3rd is the official 'opening' of the new show, complete with entertainment (carolers on the porch), food and other refreshments. The town will be closing off main street so the pedestrians can take control. Hope you can come for this Chester favorite!
