VoilART! Gallery Anniversary

VoilART! Gallery is celebrating!!! The gallery has been open for one whole year. It has been a struggle but we made it. Sharon Crute and I have worked hard so I think I will toot our respective horns:

1. Coffee and Conversation - monthly presentations on various topics such as "Great Walks with Lucy Tobias" and painting demonstration by nationally acclaimed Morgan Samuel Price.

2. Ocala's First Friday Art Walk - Sharon's husband Michael coordinates the artists and keeps everyone straight

3. Springs Celebration - supported the event with a presentation by documentary photographer Ricard Rossetto

4. Hosted a painting workshop by California artist Elin Pendleton

5. Stage shows that pertain to a particular theme such as our Holiday "Merry Little Minis" Exhibit & Sales of miniature paintings

These are just a few of the gallery high lights from this past year. We have great plans for the coming year. Fabulous photographer Kent Weakly, Leslie Hammond from Artistic Eye and "Decorating for the Holidays" by a decorator from Koontz Furniture and Home Decor are just a few giving presentations at Coffee and Conversation. Oil painting classes, drawing salon and critique groups are also being considered.

This is all in addition to our own busy show schedules. So, check back here from time to time to learn about our next adventure.
