Over the past twenty years, The Art Spirit Gallery has had over two hundred exhibitions and has showcased original work by over three hundred artists.  For this special celebration, the gallery reached out to each artist, extending an invitation to display one piece specifically created for the exhibition.  "The response has been overwhelming," states Blair Williams, gallery owner. "Various artists, many who showed with Steve ten, fifteen, even twenty years ago, are presenting us with amazing pieces.  They are excited to participate in the show, and the gallery team is thrilled to meet these talented individuals Steve Gibbs connected with over the past two decades."

Over one hundred pieces – each with a unique style and medium - will be showcased during the anniversary show.  This includes new work by local favorites like Mel McCuddin, Harold Balazs, and Steve Adams, all of whom began showing with The Art Spirit Gallery when it opened its doors.  Work by other notable favorites, such as Katherine Nelson, John Thamm, and Deborah Schwartzkof, will be part of the show.  Visitors can also view the first piece of art sold by The Art Spirit Gallery.  The clay vase was purchased by Ken and Vicki Roberge, who have remained faithful friends and patrons of the gallery.

"The gallery team is honored to mount this exhibition in Steve's honor," Williams says with pride. "We want to celebrate Steve, our dedicated artists, and our supportive community that has helped us reach our twentieth year."
