Richmond Kentucky Downtown Gallery Hop
GALLERY HOP NEWS - Chestnut Tree Gallery
The Richmond Gallery Hop is scheduled for this coming Friday evening, November 21, from 5-8 pm and we are celebrating with our biggest event to date.
Alvan Berry, a watercolor artist from Corinth, KY will be one of 2 featured artists for the evening. Alvan uses soft colors reminiscent of faded memories, and paints wonderful country scenes of times gone by, old country stores, rural churches, barns, plowed fields, and old homesteads.
Also featured during the hop will be artist and musician, Gary Bertram, of Georgetown, who will be providing live music for the event. Gary has just released a new classical guitar CD of Christmas favorites and will be playing selections from that CD and other Christmas music throughout the evening.
If you enjoy sending special Christmas cards, another treat is in store. We have selected what will be the first in a series of Kentucky Original Art Cards for Christmas.
This card is printed from an original work by Gary Bertram called "Kentucky Winter". A very limited supply of the cards has been printed and will be available for the first time this Friday during the gallery hop.
We will have special gallery hop sales, refreshments, and door prizes awarded every hour of the hop. You can also register for a free $600.00 abstract painting by RM Rollins called "Life Source" to be given away on December 23.

My best friend moved to Lexington about a year ago and she is always telling me how cool and progressive the town is. Not too many big boxes and chain food. It sounds nice.
If you are going to the Gallery Hop, better bundle up! It sounds like fun.
