Jack Butler, owner of the Blue Heron Gallery, Sticks and Stones Gallery, and Wind Drift Gallery in Florence said, “It’s exciting to be invited to participate in the chamber’s monthly exhibit. We appreciate the many ways that the chamber supports Florence’s growing and vibrant arts com- munity.” Butler says his three galleries, entering their 29th year in Flor- ence, are contemporary craft galleries that focus on American made craft. “We are delighted to have a sampling of Sticks and Stones Gallery and The Blue Heron Gallery’s collection on display at the chamber’s visitor center this month,” he said. “Each of our galleries offers something different. The variety found in our galleries, and the other great shops and galleries of Old Town, sets Florence apart from other communities where you go into a half-dozen different shops and find the same thing over and over. There is a tremendous di- versity of work in our commu- nity.” “The chamber is listed in the local art tour map because of our ever-changing displays of pho- tography, paintings, or three-di- mensional art by local artists and galleries,” added Hannigan. “Art is growing in its importance for enhancing Florence’s tourism business, and that helps all busi- nesses.” Sticks and Stones Gallery is at 1368 Bay Street, and The Blue Heron Gallery is at 1385 Bay Street in Florence. Their phone numbers are 541-997-3196 and 541-997-7993 respectively. Their website is oregoncoastgalleries. net. The Chamber’s Visitor’s Cen- ter is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Sundays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Labor Day.
