YOUR SENSES

A touch of austria

UPDATE: “The New Normal”

During our time of re-invention to adapt to COVID-19 protocols, the Gallery is now bringing to the comfort of your home our Sunday soiree showcase events from 1:00-2:45 p.m. via a new ZOOM social gathering connection. The Gallery offers a unique enlightening, entertaining and informative music, culture, arts and culinary experience, continuing a tradition that can be traced back to Vienna in 1812 and the founding of the “Society of the Friends of Music”. Our themed showcase events on ZOOM, designed and produced by hosts Claudia and Jim, are open to a relatively small group of people – which provides a quaint, friendly and personalized atmosphere for online participation and interaction. Our Austrian hospitable “gemuetlich” catered home delivery service will bring you traditional Viennese culinary treats and create that special “A Touch of Austria” European finesse. Your special custom-designed box of treats is dropped off to your doorstep on Saturday, one day prior to each scheduled event.

Join us for this five-star all encompassing music, arts, culture, culinary showcase experience!

Escape the monotony of every day life, ignite your senses, socialize, savour Viennese tradition with exquisite culinary delights, and enjoy empowering music on a wide variety of themes!

Ad Lib Gallery opened in 2008 as the realization of Claudia and her mother’s dream of a mother-daughter exhibition showing a compilation of Claudia’s photographic art work and her mother Ella Wald Kargl’s oil paintings. The gallery with its mountain-lake view is an ideal beautiful setting for the showcase events.
