First Thursday ArtWalk
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]

APSU’s Gateway Chamber Ensemble Recognized on Grammy Nomination List
Clarksville, TN – Last week, the Grammy Award nominations were announced, and some of the expected names – Jay-Z, Lady Gaga and Eminem – were at the top of the list. But the Grammys recognize more than simply pop music, and if you were to scroll down that list, you would see the category for “Producer of the Year, Classical,” and the name Blanton Alspaugh.
Alspaugh’s name might not carry the weight in some circles as say a Lady Gaga, but in the classical music world, he’s a respected and revered producer. And, according to the Grammy website, one of the reasons he was nominated this year for a coveted Grammy Award stems from his work producing the first album for a chamber ensemble founded by several Austin Peay State University music faculty members. That group, the Gateway Chamber Ensemble, was also considered for nominations in three other categories, including “Best Small Ensemble Performance.”
