Neal Lemery, Board Chair, will begin a short program at 5:20 to thank those who have been instrumental in helping to establish the gallery in its downtown location.
Immediately following, at 5:30, Sierra Lauder from the Chamber will assist with the ribbon cutting to mark this momentous event for Art in the Heart of Tillamook.
