  • Art Discussion: Saturday 5pm - 6:30pm

    April 27 | We welcome artists and arts patrons (and aspiring arts patrons) to join us for a guided small group discussion with the question "What does it mean to stand in front of a painting?"

  • Live Music Friday, Feb 23
    Doors open at 6:45pm and concert is at 7:00pm

    Porchlight Arts & Hospitality network presents Matt Wheeler at Prattville Gallery.

    "A Hard History of Love", Matt's new suite of songs & stories, is inspired by short stories by Wendell Berry. Fellow Berry fans will appreciate the musical re-imagining of these timeless stories of the Port William community; listeners can appreciate the rich & wildly creative sonic textures that the brilliant team at Old Bear Studios joined Matt in making.

    "The way we are, we are members of each other. All of us. Everything."

    - Burley Coulter, in Berry's "The Wild Birds"
