About Creature Gallery

Creature was conceived with a simple notion; to create a place where people could browse wildlife photography and have a sip of wine, a place where you could have fun and do a little good for the planet along the way. It will include:

- fine photographic prints and gifts
- a wide selection of wines and beers
- tasty (and environmentally friendly) food
- monthly exhibits about creatures and their habitats
- charitable events to support wildlife around the world
- smoke free environment
- outdoor garden seating
- 10% of all profits to wildlife charities

When and Where

The gallery-half of Creature Gallery is now open. Regular business hours are noon to 6 PM Mon-Fri. The wine bar/cafe half of Creature will be opening some time in the summer of 2006 if all goes well. (See the progress report page for more info.)

We are located in the downtown Belmont area of Charlottesville, Virginia at 824 Hinton Avenue. (map)

About the Photographer

Creature Gallery features the work of wildlife photographer Hal Brindley. That's me >
I am fascinated by animals and passionate about wildlife conservation. I spend about half the year traveling the globe searching for amazing creatures to photograph. To learn more about me and my travels, visit my web site at halbrindley.com
I am also doing all the remodeling and construction of Creature Gallery so please forgive me if it seems to be taking forever.

See you there.
