THE GALLERY AT BEX

The Gallery at Bex 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 Gallery at Bex

At The Gallery at Bex, 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!

ABSENCE OF GRAVITY comes to Gryphon Gallery with a thoughtful and visually rich exhibition by New Jersey artist Robin Love, on view May 30 – September 27, 2026. Featuring luminous oil paintings filled with atmospheric skies, shifting light, and ethereal color, the exhibition explores themes of memory, emotion, beauty, and loss.

A former photographer whose work is included in the permanent collection of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Love presents her first solo exhibition of oil paintings, including works created during a residency in Orquevaux, France, alongside paintings completed in her Pottersville, New Jersey studio.

Robin Love’s ABSENCE OF GRAVITY is also the inaugural exhibition presented under the gallery’s new name. Formerly known as The Gallery at Bex, Gryphon Gallery is led by artist and chef Becky Geisel, founder of Bex Kitchen, and is dedicated to showcasing local and regional artists in an inspiring community-centered space.

Join us for the artist opening reception on Thursday, June 4, 2026, from 6–8 PM at Gryphon Gallery, 56 Main Street, Califon, NJ. Complimentary bevs & bites by artist and chef Becky Geisel of Bex Catering will be served.
