CRESTVIEW — Photographer Dale Riley wanted to give Crestview artists and creators a local opportunity to showcase their work — and Gallery Night was born.

Gallery Night on March 7 featured 15 artists displaying their work throughout Casbah Coffee Company in a free, public event modeled after out-of-town art walks and gallery showings.

Riley hopes to grow the event and eventually have art flowing to the sidewalk outside the downtown coffee shop.

Gallery Night will be hosted from 6-8 p.m. the first Tuesday of every month at Casbah Coffee.
