This Saturday, May 17th, is a special opening at Main Street Arts. This is Pleasant View's very own artist co-op, feturing a gallery of local art, and a studio space for educational pursuits. It is located at the corner of Pleasant View Main Street, across from the Feed Mill, in the house that used to be Pleasant View Cafe. I am proud to be working, along with my cousin Monica O'Neil, as an education co-ordinator for this group. We are also known as the Tennessee Art Brigade.
I will be putting into the gallery the two gourds shown in the photos above. I also plan to offer a two session class on making a gourd bowl, and possibly a drawing for non-artists class. Monica will be teaching a number of children's classes, and there are also classes planned for jewelry making, pottery, and painting.
If you are in the Pleasant View area,come by on Saturday to see us! We are planning a painting area for children, and some of the artists will be at work on the site. I hope to be there working on a gourd project, with little Beatrice in tow. It is also the city-wide yard sale day, so Pleasant View Main Street should be the happenin place. Last year there were even food venders present. Hope to see you there!
p.s. If you can't make it this weekend, the gallery will be having regular hours several days a week from about 9 - 4.
