On August 21st, glass artist Gordon Huether, one of the most prolific public artists in any material, will open a second art gallery, this one in the very center of downtown Napa, California, to showcase his mixed-media artwork. Adjoining his working studios outside the center of Napa, Huether already operates the Hay Barn Gallery. The new gallery space will offer an additional 1,600 square feet of exhibition space with concrete floors, steel beams, high ceilings, and large display windows. Called simply the Gordon Huether Gallery, the new exhibition space sits opposite the AVIA Hotel and next-door to Oenotri restaurant on Napa’s First Street.

On the evening of Saturday, August 21st, an opening reception will be held from 5 to 7 PM. The opening exhibition will be of work by Huether himself, which will include many works in glass but also his increasing use of metal and paint, as in Little Red Box (2008), pictured at right.

After the opening, the Gordon Huether Gallery will be open from 11 AM – 8 PM, Tuesdays through Saturdays, and from 11 AM – 5 PM Sundays.
