The Fithian House Gallery was built by the Fithian Bros., Thomas and David. The first house to be built (108 E. Pine) is next door and some speculate that the oldest part of that house could be one of the original homes in Millville. The Fithians built 112 E. Pine 30 or 40 years after 108. The Fithian family owned large tracts of land from Cedarville to Millville and in the other direction to Greenwich where they originally migrated from New England in the 1700s. See The Fithian House Gallery website for more information.

Millville, New Jersey, February 3, 2009 – Tom Schenk visited Millville’s Glasstown Arts District for a Third Friday evening four years ago. He never left. The self-taught photographer “fell in love with the people, the arts and the uplifting feeling” and soon thereafter moved to the town. The former Egg Harbor Township resident was one of the first artists to sell work at the new Artist’s Consortium at 129 North High, a unique gallery/shop/workshop space.
“It was an incredible night (Third Friday grand opening in January),” commented Schenk. “Despite the freezing temperatures outside there was a constant flow of people.”
Managed by Jenny Klein, former owner of East Main Street’s Artist’s House, the new Artist’s Consortium provides local artists a spacious venue in which to display their work for a $35 monthly fee. The gallery takes a low 10% commission, considered a bargain in the art world. Artists can also paint in the site’s studio and even conduct their own workshops. The back of the gallery additionally contains The Artist’s House, an art paper and supplies shop which is also operated by Klein.
