Since 1994

The Heartof Ghent.

Art. Community. Family.

Thirty years on the same Ghent corner, the same door, the same quiet obsession with getting a frame right.

Our StoryGhent, Virginia

Cherished,Never Reinvented.

Harbor Gallery has been part of Ghent for over 30 years. Amy bought the gallery in 1994 from her employer at the time. Today it's still the same place: a team that genuinely loves art, gallery cats who love everyone, and a community that keeps coming back. Amy served on the Ghent Business Association board for sixteen years.

The four-legged heart of the gallery

They lay in the front windows and entice people in. I believe they make the gallery more home-like, friendly and warm.
