Gallery at WREN
The 2023 Gallery Season is sponsored by the Adair Inn.
The Gallery at WREN sets the standard for fine art galleries in the North Country. Established in 2001, the Gallery serves as a cultural outlet for the creative expression of a community, where the public can gather to enjoy, learn about, and appreciate art.
We welcome you to visit the Gallery during our regular store hours.
In the mountains of northern New Hampshire, where opportunities for professional artists and serious art lovers can be limited, the Gallery presents a new show every two months featuring local and regional artists. Once a year, WREN members are invited to participate in popular open-call group shows, which serve not only as supportive learning experiences for new and emerging artists, but as community celebrations of the incredible talent and diversity in our midst.
The Gallery at WREN offers engaging artist talks, as well as “Arts at Adair”, a new initiative in partnership with the Adair Country Inn & Restaurant. Follow us on social media to learn more.
Current Exhibition:
Welcome to the Table
WREN’s annual holiday member exhibition will be a little different than in previous years, though you can still expect to find affordable art and fine craft made by the local artists and makers WREN represents. This year, WREN and the Littleton Food Cooperative are partnering to raise funds for local food pantries.
Named Welcome to the Table, WREN’s members are encouraged to exhibit work within the themes of food, celebration, family, friendship, community, and inclusivity. $10 from the sale of each item in the WREN member show will go towards the Co-op’s Feed the Family program through November 15, which puts together Thanksgiving boxes for local families in need. After November 15 and through the end of the show on December 31, $10 from each gallery purchase will be donated to local food security organizations.
Though WREN’s gallery openings are usually free events, the November 10th opening reception for Welcome to the Table has a suggested donation of $15 per guest, so as much funding as possible can be raised for Feed the Family before the Co-op needs funds committed to put together the Thanksgiving boxes. All are welcome. WREN is also accepting donations of non-perishables for local free pantries with the help of Littleton Area Mutual Aid.
Welcome to the Table is on view November 10 through December 31 in the Gallery at WREN. The opening reception is on November 10, 5-7 PM.
The Gallery at WREN in downtown Bethlehem is open Monday-Saturday 10 AM-5 PM and Sunday 11 AM-4 PM. The Adair Country Inn & Restaurant is the proud sponsor of the Gallery at WREN.

ARTS AT ADAIR
The Adair Country Inn & Restaurant is the proud sponsor of the Gallery at WREN.
As a community-focused 501(c)(3) nonprofit, WREN is always seeking out new pathways for partnerships in the North Country.
One of our latest initiatives is “Arts at Adair”, a rotating exhibit in collaboration with the historical Adair Country Inn & Restaurant. Through this initiative, we are able to bring the work of our beloved local artists beyond the bounds of our storefront and Gallery space, and into the sitting room of an iconic Bethlehem inn filled with guests from near and far.
Visit the Adair website for additional information on current and upcoming shows on display at the Inn.
