Open Aperture Art Gallery

The Spirited Hand, previously known as, Friendly Harbor Gallery, is a unique treasure trove of handmade art and jewelry. We specialize in local art, handmade gemstone jewelry, Italian leather bags, lacy leather jackets for women, and vintage arts and antiques. Our collection also includes nautical wood carvings, rope art paintings, rocks and crystals, Houston Llew spiritiles, local fine yarn and shawls, and sea glass and shell art and jewelry. Whether you're looking for a special gift or a one-of-a-kind piece for your home, The Spirited Hand has something for everyone.

Newport Contemporary Fine Arts exhibits work by new and emerging artists. The gallery draws inspiration from diverse artistic approaches, materials, and media with particular focus on works emphasizing art's intrinsic qualities as the basis for expression -art as both art-object and as artistic process.
