The Bella Lucé Art Café is a brand new, creative art center that includes an Art Gallery, a Gift Shop, and two working art studio/classrooms; the Creative Arts Studio and Kats Glass Studio. It is located in the award winning, historic 1826 Red Brick Mill Building in the Alternative's Whitin Mill Complex in Whitinsville, MA. We are proud to be included in the same Mill Complex with The Lexi Singh Performance Center, The Aldrich Heritage Gallery, and The Artist Palette Fine Arts Studio. "Our mission is to create an exciting, unique, contemporary art center environment that supports, encourages and inspires artistic creation, collaboration and education for all ages and abilities, while supporting local artists and artisans in their pursuit to achieve excellence in their craft." The Art Gallery supports select exhibits for accomplished regional artists in group and solo shows. Our Gallery Openings also feature regional musicians as a compliment to the gallery exhibits in our "Musician's Profile Series". Our catered receptions occur approximately every 8 weeks and are announced in our eNews letter and on our website, so please join our mail list to be updated on our events. The Art Gallery also offers an inspiring setting for our "Yoga in the Gallery" classes with instructor Emily Leahy on Monday nights. The Gift Shop supports only talented, regional artists and artisans offering high quality, hand crafted items at prices for every purse. Unique jewelry, pottery, textiles, handbags, quilts, paintings, photographs, and cards with more unique items added every week. Come in often to see what's new and support your LOCAL economy!
