To Memphis Marsha's!!!

We were recently included in Deb Kremer's new book: Kentucky: An Explorer's Guide.
The book is 300+ pages of what to do and where to eat, sleep and shop in Kentucky!
It includes a large chapter on South Central Kentucky, and the Bowling Green area. The book features insider tips only a native Kentuckian would know, and highlights independent establishments. No chain restaurants or hotels are included. "Just the Bluegrass State at her finest!"

Thank You!

The book is available through all major book sellers and Deb's website,

Recently Andee Rudloff was appointed by KY Govenor Beshear, to serve on the Board of the Kentucky Arts Council. Quite an honor! Way to go, Andee!
Andee is community relations manager with the communications team at The Frist Center for Visual Arts in Nashville, Tennessee. Andee is originally from Bowling Green!
  
 


The artwork of one of Kim Soule's students at Drakes Creek Middle School was selected from among 5,500 submissions nationwide to be a part of an exhibit in Washington D.C., before beginning a two year tour to children's museums across the country. As a part of the event, the student will travel to Washington, all expenses paid, to attend the art exhibition & ribbon cutting. The art was a part of a class project that Soule led to make paintings on musical record albums, & Soule entered the work in the competition. Congratulations, Kim!

David Yax has recently sent us a new selection of his work, & these pieces include ink, markers, spray paint, & pastel on paper; along with a found object assemblage sculpture. Most of the objects in his sculptures are found at Goodwill or from friends & family. His idea was to keep the rainforest wood from winding up in a landfill.  In three of the paper pieces, David has hand-made the paper, then used bleach to get subtle tones for flowers. And all are priced very  economically friendly & are very creative!

David currently lives near the Cincinnati, Ohio area  with his wife & daugher, & has been doing graphic design for over 20 years.

Above Right: Four  3.5" x 5.5"images framed together: Flowers, Fish, Butterfly; Ink & Markers on Paper; White Mat; Black Frame;  Framed Size: 10" High x 20" Wide.
$40, plus shipping. KY residents add 6% sales tax.

Come by the gallery to see more of his work!
