March is Women’s History Month and National Reading Month. Tying these two delightful subjects together, we are highlighting books written by women and other related items at the Dancing Eye Gallery.
This Month We Celebrate Women and Reading
Beer Is Here!
Beer may be the oldest alcoholic drink in the world, but it will have a new home in downtown Northville very soon! The brewpub Great White Buffalo Brewing Company is opening it’s doors this Friday. It’s directly across Main St. from the Dancing Eye Gallery! Stop in to both places this weekend for fun, shopping and BEER!
Author Keith Gall Book Signing
Join us this Friday, February 24 from 5 to 8 p.m. to meet Northville author Keith Gall. He’ll be signing his newly published supernatural thriller Shadowholde, first in a new series. Gall is a lifelong hometown resident. Go Northville! See you on Friday!
This is the weekend to hang out in downtown Northville! This Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. warm up with Chili’in the Ville – a chili competition. Your taste buds will love you! Good thing our fire departments will be close by!
One of the newest artists represented at the gallery is a very imaginative person named Seth. He lives and works in the magical mountains of West Virginia. His bodies of work include “Creatures of the heart” drawings, “New Worlds” watercolors and “Small Tales” which are little stories on some of the prints. Visit the gallery to see more of his artwork. His prints come in three sizes. We know that that one special piece may just speak to you and will become a “must have”!
Don’ forget to put Chili’in the Ville on your calendars for the heated chili competition from 1-5 p.m. on Saturday, February 25 in downtown Northville.
Rebel Nell Event
This is an event not to miss! Not only will you see beautiful one-of-kind Rebel Nell pieces made by repurposing fallen graffiti, but Fordite will also be included. This woman-owned company with roots in Detroit is “dedicated to uplifting women and providing underserved women a route to self-sufficiency and equitable opportunity.” (Rebel Nell website)
The Dancing Eye Gallery carries a selection of Rebel Nell consistently, but this Friday the store will showcase many more collections and styles, perfect for a Valentine or Galentine gift for yourself or someone special!

Book Signing Event This Friday!
Local author Walter G. Esselman will be signing his books at the Dancing Eye Gallery this Friday, January 20, from 6 to 8 p.m. Esselman is the author of numerous works including 64 published short stories and one novella. He earned 1st place in the World of Myth’s Open Contract Challenge in 2020.
Walter says “Catmandu is notable for having Only one commandment: Don’t Be a Jerk. This includes not only to other living things, but yourself as well.”
This makes us think of cat-related Valentine’s ideas, too – a perfect pairing with one of Walter’s books!
