Hands Gallery celebrates 35 years downtown

We're at his gallery and we are celebrating our 35th anniversary this year, 2026. But we do carry a lot of local artists. We kind of focus on handmade in the U.S. as much as we can, but that does feature plenty of local artisans. We have jewelers, ceramicists, woodworkers, all kinds of different artists that are local to the area. And that's really what makes our store so special is that we like to stay connected to the community, not only with our customers, but also with our local artisans as well. We do have plenty of items that we have carried for a majority of those 35 years. We have ornaments that we come out with a new ornament every year and add to our collection that feature local spots. We also have clocks that are right when you walk in the door. They've always been there. We've had them for about 20 years. People identify us with those. We have the previous owner's ceramic work, as well as his wife's pearl necklaces. So we still have plenty of those items that we've had the entire 35 years that we've been open that are still available today, which is pretty cool. We never take for granted that you choose to come in our doors and allow us to be a tiny part of your life. You know, I did see a quote the other day that said, your downtown is only cute because someone took a risk to open a small business. So if you would like to keep our downtown charm, it is so important that you show up and support those stores that, you know, make you happy.
