Installed Art at Germantown Community Theatre Today

Fourteen works are on exhibit now at Germantown Community Theatre. I took the art over this morning, opened the wrappings from around the paintings, found the wires and tools and ladder and hung them on the lobby walls. A short five hours later it was time to add the labels and photograph the installation. Everyone there had nice things to say about the artworks. Sales will benefit the theatre by ten percent of the price. And to help make this benefit successful, I rolled the prices way back for the duration of this show through April 29. The paintings may be purchased through the staff at GCT. The stage is set for the opening of Spitfire Grill, the musical this theatre has prepared.

Germantown Community Theatre is located at 3037 Forest Hill Irene Road, (between Poplar and Poplar Pike [which is what Park Ave is called in G.town]), Germantown, TN 38138.

Memphis in May

(Memphis) During the Artist's Link Breakfast meeting this past week at Holiday Deli on Poplar, attendees heard about exhibits at the MOMA from Shelia and Jim who had just returned from a visit to NY.  Norm announced he and two other collaborators would be exhibiting at WKNO in September.  Members quizzed him on the theme of the show and offered suggestions for titles of the exhibition.   Some went by The Dixon afterwards to see Private Memphis, works from fine art collections in the city.

The exhibit included fine examples of American genre painting from about one hundred years ago in the Plough room, and nudes in the Crump room. "Fusion" alone is worth the price of admission.   For those who love dogs and hunting, wonderful works of these subjects are also up.  The exhibit also includes some works by Belgian painters.
On this sunny day, a visit to North Main Street between Union and Peabody revealed an active lunch crowd at the outdoor patios of Flight, Local and Majestic.  These restaurants are located just around the corner from the world famous Tea Room.  Directly behind them on Front Street is a parking garage for $6.00 a day near the former Post Office, now Law Library.

 all at very low prices versus traditional delivery methods. Even note cards are available, which could become a collector's item someday.
