Eclectic mix at new Marmo Caffé & Gallery

The new Marmo Caffé & Gallery at 217 W. Cota St. in downtown Shelton offers an eclectic mix of visual arts, books, coffee, jewelry, baked goods and performances.

The business drew a large crowd for a ribbon-cutting ceremony March 28 hosted by the Shelton-Mason County Chamber of Commerce.

The current exhibition, "New Seasons Fantasy," is on display through May 4. The group exhibition features works by Greg Bartol and Carol Orr, Carrie Brennan, Maria Bressler, Arrington Dionyso, Lauren Kim, Rainen Knecht, Mariella Luz, Lisa Mellinger, Lehman Noviello, Anya Roberts-Toney, Lizzy Sheehan, Connie Simpson, China Faith Star and Suzy Louise Valentine.

The gallery's website states "We nurture collaboration between locally, nationally and internationally recognized artists, writers and performers who consider unique philosophical inquiries and perspectives. Our independent publishing house, Desuetude Press, features works of art, poetry, critical theory, translation and prose of an exploratory and experimental nature. We are striving to revitalize downtown Shelton while nurturing arts and culture in our community through ongoing events including exhibitions, workshops, readings and more."

The business is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
