Our gallery events include a Fine Art Show & Plein Air Competition, a Photography Exhibit, and a Chalk Art Contest.

Revisit the Meaning of Memorial Day

Beyond the barbecues and beach outings lies the true heart of Memorial Day—a solemn tribute to those who gave their lives in service to our nation. Each year, we pause to remember the servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice, honoring the brave individuals who left behind families, dreams, and futures in defense of our freedoms.

We invite you to join us in a meaningful observation of this sacred holiday. As part of our commemoration, we are honored to offer a complimentary breakfast to all Gold Star Family members and Veterans before our morning ceremony, where together we'll pay tribute to those who gave everything for the nation they loved.

Fine art, chalk art, photography, pottery, and live music... You'll find it all at Art on Main in 2025.

Origins: Memorial Day, originally known as Decoration Day, emerged after the American Civil War. Communities honored fallen soldiers by decorating their graves with flowers and prayers.

National Observance: General John A. Logan proclaimed a nationwide day of remembrance in 1868. The chosen date, May 30, wasn't tied to any specific battle anniversary.

Contemporary Observance: Memorial Day, now an official federal holiday, honors U.S. military personnel who sacrificed their lives. Traditionally, Americans visit cemeteries, participate in parades, and mark the start of summer.

In essence, Memorial Day bridges the past and present—a solemn tribute to heroes and a gateway to warmer days. 🇺🇸🌺🗽

We're thrilled to announce our partnership with the Major Brent Taylor Foundation. Join us in hosting a Gold Star Family Member 🌟 or Veteran, at the annual GSV Breakfast on Saturday, May 25th.
