Mary Flynn is the heart behind Back Alley Gallery, a welcoming and vibrant space where art is not just seen but truly experienced. Mary has cultivated a gallery that feels less like a traditional art space and more like a community gathering place.
At Back Alley Gallery, the focus isn’t just on the artwork—it's on the connection it sparks. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned collector, you're greeted not just with a smile but with the invitation to engage, reflect, and connect with community.
Through thoughtfully curated exhibitions and inclusive events, Mary brings people together, celebrating diverse voices and creating opportunities for meaningful encounters with art and each other.
Mary is also co-founder of Art Circuit. Art Circuit is an exciting and fun evening of gallery hopping. A hop on/hop off bus experience that tours guests through four local galleries each hosting a unique exhibit featuring an exciting roster of local and international artists. We are now accepting submissions for three different shows.
The Back Alley Gallery is open on Wednesdays and Fridays from 1:00 - 8:00PM Fridays are a casual, inclusive gathering of creatives. Some Fridays, we all experiment and play with the same media; it might be collage, resin, encaustic, or gelli pad fun. Other weeks, each person will bring in their own work. We've had everything from knitting, pottery, water colour, sculpture and more. Whatever we're doing, it's always a fun, casual, informative way to connect and create. It's a pay what you can event and no need to register or sign up -- just come on in!
The Workshop with Colleen Reid "Using your Sketchbook to Develop Your Art" is still on tomorrow from 1 - 4PM ($60). It's too late to sign up on line but if you want to join us, please call me at 289-683-1197
