Memphis
Marsha's Grand Opening & Chamber of Commerce
Ribbon cutting was in September, 2002. Longtime Bowling Green, KY artist,
Marsha Heidbrink, rennovated a one room, one story building into a two floor
1,800 square foot mini art center. In its previous lives, the building had
been a diner & a dog groomer. Using the building & the owner's time
era, & her heritage from Memphis, Marsha painted the place inside &
out with visitor friendly colors: lime green, coral, aqua, & magenta.
None of that sterile white feeling for this place! Cardboard images of "Elvis"
& "Marilyn" peer out of nooks & crannies. Studio work is done on
red formica & chrome tables with a painted floor. The kitchen boasts
a neon flamingo clock, & a couple of 50's era lamps with giggle-ugly
shades complete the decor.
