THE GRYPHON GALLERY

The Gryphon Gallery is a great space to host your event without using your own residence! A narrow yet spacious, cozy, clean, and well-lit multi-purpose space, we feature rotating art on the walls year-round. Two giant plate-glass windows provide a great view of downtown Califon. Our Artist Receptions have been lively, popular, casual, casual, and classy community-building events. The space is dynamic and has been used for soundbath meditations, poetry readings, yoga, and musical performances. Contact us today if you have an idea for the gallery or would like to rent the space.

The Gallery is open by appointment only. The goal of The Gallery is to support and showcase local artists, both via individual shows and group shows, in a variety of media. Art should be accessible to the community and help foster relationships among all generations.

The Gallery at Bex invites artists to share their vision for our 2026 exhibition series. Rooted in creativity and community, our gallery celebrates the dialogue between art, food, and place, where each installation brings new energy to our walls and inspires our guests.

Artist in Residence

Supporting Local Artists at The Gryphon Gallery

At The Gryphon Gallery, we are dedicated to showcasing the incredible talent of both established and emerging local artists. Our rotating exhibitions, updated every three months, provide a platform for artists from the surrounding community and beyond to share their work with a wider audience.

As part of our commitment to supporting artists, when we feature a solo exhibit, the artist is honored as our Artist in Residence during that period. We also host group shows that celebrate the collective spirit of the local art scene, allowing visitors to explore a variety of artistic styles and perspectives.

Through events like our Art Sparx opening and closing receptions, we invite you to meet the artists, learn about their creative processes, and engage in lively discussions that bring art to life.

Explore, connect, and be inspired!
