The month of December has brought numerous blessings for us at Michael Gibbons’ Signature Gallery.

We started the month with the opening of “Promise,”   The Yaquina  River Museum of Art’s Annual Christmas Show.

Judy Gibbons provided a talk on her featured collection of South American Artifacts.

After the opening reception and art talk for “Promise,” attendees of the exhibit were invited across the street to St. John’s Episcopal church for a Christmas Sing-A-Long and gift basket auction, a benefit event for the  Yaquina River Museum of Art. Cellists from the Newport Symphony Orchestra generously offered to perform Christmas Carols.

Mid-December came around, bringing with it the celebration of Michael’s 76th Birthday.

We want to thank every person who wished Michael a Happy Birthday. We are grateful to have such wonderful friends and family.

On December 19th, the local Toledo Jr/Sr High School unveiled the new Lobby Art Gallery with the opening   reception of their student show “This is Us.” The Yaquina River Museum of Art proudly sponsored the new lobby gallery by providing the hanging system for the art work.

Thank you to everyone who made this year a success as we continue our work to bring art to the public. We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!
