Clarksville, TN – Downtown Clarksville Association presents First Thursday ArtWalk Thursday, January 6th, 5:00pm to 8:00pm.
Downtown Artist Co-Op will feature Friends of Photography. The Friends of Photography will feature a series of photographs titled “Shadows.” What is the perception of a shadow, only the photographer will tell. The club has some seasoned photogs and some that are showing for the first time.
ARTifacts Emporium will feature Gabriele Wardeiner, Tutu Good and Oh Baby! Antiques. . “Art should be serious fun” sort of sums up the way Gabriele Wardeiner approaches her encounters with pencils and brushes. Mostly self trained she just enjoys drawing, painting and trying new things on paper, board and even metal. She is also a certified “pack rat”, which comes in handy creating the hundreds of truly unique, special greeting cards you see in her booth. Rounding up the offerings are some interesting antiques, “almost” antiques and 14 K gold and silver jewelry. [Read more]
The Clarksville art scene is alive and thriving at Riverfest
September 15, 2010
A former resident of the Boston and Washington, D.C. areas, I have been fortunate to see some great artworks in my life. I’ve also witnessed the recent “Emperor’s New Clothes” variety (otherwise called “modern art” by some). My feelings towards some of the obscenities fostered on the public in recent years as “art” cannot be printed in this format. One only has to walk through the National Art Gallery where the display is chronological to see how talent somehow was replaced with publicity stunts to see how some artists have sold their souls to pure unadulterated “selling a bill of goods to the unsuspecting” to see what I mean.
