Julia C. Butridge Gallery

The Julia C. Butridge Gallery is located in the heart of the arts district adjacent to the Long Center and Butler Park at the Dougherty Arts Center, a multi-cultural community arts center providing opportunities for creative expression to citizens for over 30 years. Visitors enjoy an exceptional 2,000 square feet of exhibit space in the main gallery, and an additional 480 square feet in newly renovated gallery space. The natural collision of creative activity at the arts center contributes to the gallery’s longstanding reputation among the arts community as an accessible and nurturing venue and incubator, ideal for emerging and established artists. The gallery is free and open to the public.

For Maura Schaffer, the dining table is more than an ordinary domestic object. It is a symbol of all that is good about humanity. Functioning as a tool for sustenance, conversation and unification, the tables created for this exhibit are not only sculpted and painted by the artist, but imbued with a soul.
