Welcome to Gallery 51. When you enter Gallery 51 my wish is that
you are inspired by what you see.
For the artist, ART is a drive from within. We do not see the way
normal people see. Whatever gift the artist possesses, be it dancer,
actor, painter, craftsman, we live life with a different view. Artists
are sometimes classified as odd. Many time we are misunderstood. When
we look we see color, values and dimension in life. As we all know,
ART is not a necessity to survive but ART is therapuetic and inspires
us to get in touch with our emotions. As the world is experiencing
natural disasters and individuals are threatened by war and conflict,
ART is a saving grace. ART develops dignity and appreciation for life.
As you enjoy our website my hope is that you are encouraged to see
the positive aspects of life, to dream, to have hope, to smile, to
enjoy and see life as beautiful.
Celia has strived as an artist for 30 years before
her work was taken seriously. She knows the struggle and through
that compassion she has opened Gallery 51. Her vision for Gallery
51 is for it to be a place to gain education in the arts through
workshops, seminars and classes. The main focus is on art glass,
but also includes woodturning, metal smithing, silversmithing/jewelry
design, acting, mosaics, pottery, painting and more as the interest
demands and our revenue allows.
Gallery 51 is owned and operated by ATG Studio,
Inc. As our vision grows and we gain the support of the surrounding
communities, we hope to continue to develop this unique art colony.
