The Ben and Lemma Apple Gallery is located at 500 Main Street in Danbury, North Carolina.

It was dedicated on May 3, 2008 by Ben Vernon, Jr., Jack Webster, and Michael Cumberland, Trustees of the Ben and Lemma Apple Foundation for the purpose of supporting the visual and performing arts talents of Stokes County artists.  The Apple Foundation, in partnership with the Stokes County Arts Council, provided grant support to complete the renovation of the new gallery, including the installment of professional lighting and art hanging system.  The Apple Gallery is considered one of the finest rural art galleries in North Carolina.
