About Us
The Gallery on Garrison is a unique type of art and gallery space, offering traditional art exhibitions by emerging and established artists, as well as paint and sip parties, art classes, residency programs and more. In addition to these offerings, gallery owner Melody Smith’s personal art studio is onsite where she creates one-of-a-kind pieces for exhibition and sale.
Paint & Sip Parties
Grab a glass of wine, throw on an apron and grab a seat in front of an easel! Our Artist will lead you, step by step, to creating a piece of art you will be proud to display in your personal spaces!
Our paint and sip parties are perfect for a unique and memorable experience to celebrate birthdays, bridal showers or for a fun date night!
We offer private paint and sips (10 people or more) and corporate team-building events.
Schedule your private paint and sip or join us for one of our open painting events. Message or call us for more information. Let’s paint together!
Splatter Paint Parties
Gather your tribe and let’s have some creative fun! We provide the supplies for your group to enjoy a fun and creative experience together!
We will have an area all set up for you to splatter paint onto your canvas (and each other!). Everyone jump into their white oversized jumpsuit to protect your clothing, grab your glass of wine (BYOB) and paint brush, and the splatter fun begins!
For more information just send us a message
Pet Paw Paint Party
Bring your furry friend to our gallery/studio and create a special piece of art together. We will use your pet’s paw print to create a unique piece of art that you will treasure for many years to come.
Seats are very limited in these pet-friendly events, so get your ticket early! Message us for more information.
Meet Melody Smith, Gallery Owner
Melody is a Fort Smith based artist and muralist. Her work carries with it a hopeful earnestness, while exploring the despair of her abusive and chaotic youth. Her work is known for marrying the opaque with the transcendent, the emergence after the suppression.
Melody’s work can be found in spaces across the country.
