YELLOW DOT CELEBRATION

As part of the Artists Gallery's 10th Anniversary Celebration, the gallery is holding a YELLOW DOT CELEBRATION. The celebration will last from Friday May 3 through Sunday May 5. During the celebration, any item in the gallery marked with a yellow dot will receive a 20% discount when purchased. Come in to the gallery this Friday for First Friday and check out the great artwork being sold at reduced prices as well as the 10 x 10 silent auction!

Featured Exhibition - May, 2008 - 10 x 10

The featured exhibition at the gallery this month is called "10 x 10." The exhibition is a celebration of the Artists Gallery's 10 Year Anniversary. The pieces in the exhibition are by the gallery's artists and must incorporate the number 10 in some way. 2-D work must have final dimensions of 10 x 10 inches. 3-D work must have at least one dimension of 10 inches. Jewelry must have the number 10 incorporated in some way such as 10 special beads or 10 strands. The exhibition was a challenge to the artists. The majority of the pieces are also part of a special silent auction running from May's First Friday on May 3 through June 8. Each piece in the silent auction was donated to the gallery and all proceeds of the auction benefit the gallery. To bid, stop by the sales counter and register for a bidder number. Once you have a number, proceed to the auction pieces and bid by entering your bidder number and your bid on the bid sheet for the desired piece of art. Bid often to ensure you get the piece you want at YOUR price!!!

FIRST FRIDAY and BEN JERRY OPENING

The first First Friday of the season was held on April 4th in downtown Racine. At the Artists Gallery, this night was the opening reception for featured artist Ben Jerry's exhibition. Even with the construction in front of the gallery on Sixth Street, attendance was very good. Approximately 200 people attended the opening. Following are some pictures from the reception...
