ARTS ALIVE & THE TIBBITS ART GALLERY

Arts Alive is the Branch County area arts group. It celebrates artists and those who appreciate art and makes every effort to create and promote opportunites for artists. The group is responsible for the exibits in the Tibbits Art Gallery which give local and regional artists of all mediums a place to display their works. From aspiring to established artists, the Art Gallery has works on display during most performances year round. We invite you to enjoy.

The newly remodeled Art Gallery is located in the lower level of Tibbits Opera House.  There is also a permanent collection throughout the theatre. Through the winter months the art gallery is open one hour prior to shows.  Additional hours are scheduled by appointment.
