Annual Open House and Holiday Gift Shop Sale

This is a wonderful event to close out our season and help you get into the mood for Christmas. If you have never been into the museum, this is your chance to sneak inside and see what goes on in there!  It's pretty cool!  Might even want to come back in April to see what's hidden upstairs....hmmmm???

Please join us to reconnect with old friends,
and find a truly individual gift for the history lover on your list!

United Paws Adoptathon Coming Soon!

If you've even considered getting a kitty to liven up the ol' homestead - NOW is the time! All you have to do is show up, fall in love and take your new furbaby home! ( Oh and fill out an application and pay a very reasonable adoption fee...)

Good News!

The September artists have agreed to let their work hang through October.  That means you can procrastinate a little (but just a little - some of this stuff is going home with people who live out of town and they - gasp - want to take it with them!)  Two of Susan Lindstedt's lovely botanical watercolors will join the exhibit too.  (Talented family wouldn't you say?) 

Lindstedt/Simmons Reception

The September artist's reception enjoyed a very nice turnout, and conversation, smiles and sales were the result!  See those kids?  Maybe they'll grow up and want to have art shows of their own.  Ya just never know!

"Uh-oh", he's thinking, "She's gonna buy something.  Wish there was some vodka in this punch.....".

 Steve Lindstedt's steel sculptures are getting more and more complex......

 The artist oversees the crowd with quiet glee....

Not just fish my friends, there are sea creatures and Viking ships on display!

Teresa Simmons brought watercolors, quilted wall hangings, and crayon drawings!  You really should get in here and see this stuff!

The artist, Teresa Simmons.  This was her first exhibit at the Museum.

She liked it!

 Doreen Lindstedt brought watercolor landscapes...

 A bird quilt.... to warm your eyeballs.

And her smiling self!

There's still time.....

August Artist Showing - Hingson and Adams

If the word 'pyrography' doesn't intrigue you enough to make it in for this show, then you're WAAAAY too busy this summer.  Both artists use several different mediums so this show is going to be full of variety.   

Artist Reception is on Saturday, August 8th from 2-4 PM and you can meet both artists and ask questions to your heart's desire!

Annual Silent Auction and Wine Tasting

Come Friday from 4 until 7 PM to mingle with friends for our wine tasting, and see what's available this year.  Or visit www.garibaldimuseum.org for a full listing of auction items.

Collin's Oils and Mccallum's Sculptures Bring Pizzazz to our Community Room

This is just a teaser folks.  Do yourself a favor and stop in to see this show through the end of July.  Admission to our artist's showing is free.  

There's abundant talent here on the North Coast, and GMM wants to share it with you!

Silver and gold and gorgeous! This is just a glimpse of the work Tom Mccallum does.  There are lighted sculptures, and glittering mosaics, and whimsical wall hangings.

Laura's 'sense of place' comes through loud and clear in her work.  This photographer was captivated by a couple of moss-laden tree paintings.  She's also chosen frames which set off the painting to perfection.  You'll just have to stop in and see for yourself.  There's much, much more to savor....

July Artists -Laura Collins and Tom McCallum

Do. Not. Miss. This. Show!  

Brian and Kate Johnstone and Patsy Chapin Show Their Stuff!

And delightful stuff it is!  You really should do yourself a favor and stop by to see this show.  The photos - really don't do either artist  justice.  Brian and Kate's work is both visual and tactile, and begs to be investigated further.    

 Johnstone Wall Hanging....much, much nicer in person!

Patsy Chapin's Ducklings - which really should be picked up and 
cuddled!

Soup Tureen, Ladle and bowls

One of many nautically themed pieces by Patsy....

June Artist Showing

Stop in for the reception to see the lovely pieces created by Patsy and Brian. If you can't make that, admission is free for visitors only attending the show in the Community Room.

In the second half of May....

We host another adoptathon for United Paws. It's not a cat show, it's a love-in!  Come in, fall in love with your feline soul mate, take home for purrs, entertainment, and lap warming!

Then lastly, but not leastly, our White Elephant Sale, where you'll find items to spark your curiosity, fill a need (or a want), and help us to fund replacement of our creaky, leaky front doors. (If your front door was opened 400-1000 times a month, it would wear out too!)

  

May is a Busy Month for GMM

First, we start our monthly Artist showings with a couple of fine local artisan crafters..........Gloria Guyer's quilts, and John Goertzen's fine woodcrafting pieces.

Then we wish Capt. Robert Gray a Happy Birthday! (We SO wish you were here Bob)

Open for the 2015 Season!

We are open regular hours 10-4 PM Thursday through Monday beginning today!  We have a full line up of artists scheduled to show for the year starting in May and we'll be posting the list soon.  If you would like to be notified when a new event is happening - art or otherwise - sign up over on the right.  

Please come in to say hello to Anna, tour the museum to see what's changed from last year, or if you've never been to the museum, you're missing out on a wonderful day of catching up on local history.  Plenty of parking, and there's a gem of a gift shop just inside the door.  We have new items all the time, so come in whenever you're driving by - (except on Tuesday and Wednesday - when we're closed).

Pre-Season Festivities at GMM

We open for regular hours Thursday - Monday 10-4PM on April 2nd, but for two days on the next two weekends, we'll have a scavenger hunt!  Bring the whole family and join in the fun.

Closed for Winter Hiatus, but.....

That doesn't mean we're not around.  If you have a group who would like to tour the museum, or need to speak to our director for any other reason, feel free to get in touch by clicking on the photo of Capt. Gray, or call us at 503-322-8411.  See you in March!
