First Friday is tomorrow and we have a wonderfully talented featured arts for May: Michelle Pendergrass. Through the use of mixed media and acrylics, Michelle is able to process life through her creativity. “Ugly and beautiful intersect on canvas as I work through figuring out who I am and what’s left of me as I dig through the layers to unearth that which I thought was dead. The loss is extravagant. The Grace is sufficient.” –From Michelle’s artist statement. You can find more information about Michelle and her art on her website.

Join us tomorrow evening, May 3rd, from 6-9PM to meet the artist and check out her work.

I had the pleasure of meeting Hannah last summer at the gallery. As a senior in high school, she has vision for her art. She also seems to have an old soul–one where she is able to see beauty around her in unique ways.
Hannah’s new exhibit will be exploring the relationships of wholeness-growth-&-tribulation through film photography and abstract art. Themes such as love, mystery, worship and struggle are evident in her art. She is able to see the Lord’s beauty in a the world around her.
Come see her new exhibit, Circling, February 1st. She will be hanging out that evening between 6-9PM to answer any questions and to talk about her art.
See you then!

Create Art this Saturday in a No Pressure Environment!

Come to The Gallery July 28th at 10:30AM to bring out your creative side. Emily Janowiak, a local artist and art teacher, will be leading this workshop. You’ll experiment with texture stamping in a painting, and you’ll learn how to layer and apply texture in creative ways. How in-depth you get is up to you–create your personal masterpiece or just mess around with the supplies. This is a no pressure, creative adventure. You will leave with new knowledge, meet new people and leave with your own artwork.

Textural elements, paint and paper will be provided. Some paint will be washable while others will not. Please wear something that you won’t mind getting a little paint on.

Kids who are accompanied by an adult are welcome to participate.

Light snacks will be provided, but feel free to stop by Calvin Fletcher’s to grab a morning cup of coffee.

This is a free event.
