Abbe Creek Gallery

We believe that art has the power to transform lives, spark curiosity, and connect us to our community and the world. Nestled in the heart of idyllic Mount Vernon, Iowa—amidst the many independent businesses that line main street—our gallery serves as a vibrant sanctuary for artists, art enthusiasts, and curious souls alike. Our mission is threefold: Celebrate Creativity: We curate a diverse collection of visual art, including paintings, photography, sculpture and ceramics. Our walls breathe with the stories of local and regional artists, each piece providing a unique view on the world around us. Foster Community: The gallery isn’t just a place to view art; it’s a gathering spot for kindred spirits. We host workshops, artist talks, and collaborative events that encourage dialogue, learning, and the forging of lasting connections. Whether you’re an artist or an art-lover, our doors are open to you. Ignite Curiosity: We believe that art should provoke questions, challenge assumptions, and spark wonder. Our exhibits rotate regularly, inviting viewers to explore new perspectives, discover hidden talents and engage in conversations that transcend the canvas.
