Please join the Tompkins Chamber, Downtown Ithaca Alliance, and City of Ithaca officials for a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of two new businesses: Mix Art Gallery and Revelry Yards.
We will begin at Mix Art Gallery and proceed to Revelry Yards. Please note that Mix Art Gallery is not wheelchair accessible.
About Mix Art Gallery:
ith this creative space, MIX Art Gallery, I would like to bring joy through art to a broader audience. I would like all who enter the space to feel that they are a part of the art- an extension of the process, and final product.
…and perhaps you will be inspired to support the independent artists showing by purchasing an original creation to take home with you; and in turn this will continually remind you of your own personal joy. This is my quest.
This joy is how I wish this gallery to contribute to this already vibrant Ithacan community and beyond.

About Revelry Yards:
Located on restaurant row, just off The Commons, Revelry Yards features weekday lunch, weekend brunch and nightly dinner featuring a sharing menu. Revelry Yards features up to a dozen craft beers produced in the microbrewery upstairs.
The freshly renovated space will also feature a fresh new look behind restaurant row dubbed The Yards. This expansive outdoor patio will provide a casual full-service experience from a centrally located “Container Bar” fabricated out of a shipping container with a patio menu centralized around a wood fired oven.
