Red Dragonfly Grand (re) Opening!

Today marked the official Grand (re) Opening of The Red Dragonfly!

Scheduled to coincide with Port Townsend's monthly "First Saturdays" Art Walk, we formally opened our doors to the world under new ownership, with our new name. Of course, we owe a debt of gratitude to former Red Raven Gallery proprietor Laurie McClave for her help in ensuring a smooth transition, as well as to our beautiful artists who have been extremely supportive as we begin to chart a new course.

Above all, we want to thank the many people who came by to say hello, and share in our champagne and cupcakes! In the course of the evening, we probably had 100-120 visitors... far beyond our expectations-- and we're very grateful for the positive responses to the "new" Red Dragonfly!

It was a lovely evening, but our work here is just beginning. Now comes the challenge of continuing to offer an interesting and unique rotation of contemporary art for our visitors.

We're already looking towards the next Port Townsend Art Walk on Saturday, August 6th... where we will be welcoming back local clay sculptor and ceramic artist Sarah Fitch in a sort of "Homecoming:" Sarah was one of the original founders of Red Raven Gallery when it first opened, back in 2011.

Art and... cupcakes!

Meanwhile, Peter has been working diligently to build Red Dragonfly's online gallery store. Our eventual ambition is to have 80-90% of the gallery available as a web shop, allowing folks-- especially out-of-town-- to visit us in person and then look us up and shop online the the comfort of their living rooms.

For the moment, though, we're enjoying the opportunity to meet old Red Raven clients and new faces alike!
