\"FirstClarksville, TN<\/strong> – Produced by The Downtown Clarksville Association, First Thursday Art Walk is a free, self-guided tour spanning a 5-block radius that combines visual art, live music, engaging events and more in the heart of Downtown Clarksville.<\/p>\n

With 10+ venues, bars and businesses participating each month, the First Thursday Art Walk in Clarksville is the ultimate opportunity to savor and support local creative talent.<\/p>\n

For the month of May, the Art Walk will be held on Thursday, May 2nd from 5:00pm to 8:00pm at the shops and galleries on Public Square, Franklin Street, and Strawberry Alley. The participating businesses are listed below as well as a description of the work they will be exhibiting and services they will be offering during the event. Hodgepodge (125 Franklin Street) will proudly host \u201cSky Fell\u201d, Shane Moore\u2019s photography exhibit loosely based on a theme of sky and shadow.<\/p>\n

Shane is mainly a landscape photographer, but not in the traditional sense. His work is not always about the big picture and beautiful, sweeping landscapes, but more about elements within landscapes where light and darkness mix to illuminate or shadow something overlooked, beautiful, man-made or out of place.<\/p>\n

Shane travels around the region and world (when he can) to find subject matter that is interesting to him and does not set up shots; he goes wherever the wind takes him and finds images, mainly with his old 35mm\/120mm film cameras and black and white film. Shane works mostly with traditional darkroom processes to create and manipulate his images.<\/p>\n

Shane\u2019s opening reception will be Thursday, May 2nd at 5:00pm to 8:00pm and the exhibit will be up through the month of May.<\/p>\n

For the May Art Walk, Rogate\u2019s Boutique (115 Franklin Street) will be showcasing Laura Pugh-Bailey\u2019s photographs.<\/p>\n

Laura studied film photography at College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls, Idaho. \u201cAfter my husband retired from the Army and my daughter was in high school I started to take photography seriously again,\u201d says Laura. \u201cSince then I have won 1st place in the photography division of the Downtown Artist Co-op\u2019s Regional Art Expo 2012 as well as 1st place Professional Landscape division at the DAC\u2019s Photography Expo 2013.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Downtown Artists Co-op (96 Franklin Street) is an association of talented local artists and interested patrons dedicated to promoting the visual arts in the Clarksville-Montgomery County area.<\/p>\n

Lynne Griffey is the solo artist having a reception at the DAC on May 2nd from 5:00pm to 8:00pm. The show is entitled \u201cFeathered Freedom\u201d. Lynne\u2019s inspiration from her enjoyment of her backyard birds make up her show. It will run until May 31st.<\/p>\n

[320left]The New South Coffee Company (110 Franklin Street) will be featuring live music performed by local musicians.<\/p>\n
