This update on the 3rd Friday Arts Festival and the Friday Night Art Walk from Sandy Page, Director of the Winnsboro Cultural Arts District. . .
Friday evening from 6 - 9 pm, the 3rd Friday Art Walk keeps a “fresh face” and moves forward as it continues to feature new artwork from local artists.
The Keyring Gallery will have an “Opening Night” reception and serve as the base for the Winnsboro Art District’s monthly Art Walk. Many downtown merchants will be open for an evening of art, music, refreshments, sales, and festivities.
Sherry Callender is showing new images with her amazing drawings. . . John Wayne walks tall during “Autumn Trails.”
A composite of “Lonesome Dove” scenes brings more Western flavor to the gallery. Another composite drawing features Steve McQueen and “movie takes”..Sherry’s artwork “dances” with Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers.
Bobbye Koncak has new abstract work featured at the Gallery. Realism is conveyed, with an exciting color palette, in her images of water lilies. This watercolorist brings not only stellar execution to her artwork, but an amazing ability to convey a depth of color rarely seen in watercolors.
Ellie Taylor has many new expressions of her impressionism. Familiar scenes of everyday life take on new dimensions as she depicts quick takes in an energetic and exciting style. Whether it is a “Cloudy Morning”, a “Retreat to the Mountains” or “Home at Last,” the viewer quickly arrives there.
Paula Renee Ridgeway’s realism reaches out and brings home the beauty of birds, or equally, the power of human emotions. Charles Conner’s photography shows a central focus of serene balance and a centrality that portrays beauty in the natural world. The work highlights the simple, but important, role of form in portraying an artist’s message.
Barbara Sudik brings a varied and colorful style to the exhibition. Scenes form a travelogue for the viewer, whether it be a European visit or a trip to the rodeo. The colorful masks of Craig Royer delight as they contrast with the carved, sculptural beauty of his chairs.
View the organic sculpture and the exquisite hand tinted photographs of Bonnie Sir Kegian. Efton Edwards presents serene beauty contrasting with an edgy air of mystery. Bart Soutendijk’s wire sculptures contrast the medium of wire as it moves to form soft organic forms. Many more artists are featured in this new Artists’ Exhibition.
The Winnsboro Emporium will have their “Live Poets Society” meeting at 6 pm during the Friday evening Art Walk.
