HodgepodgeHodgepodge will host Sarah Collins, a 16-year-old student who has lived in Clarksville most of her life. 

Sarah states “(I) got started in art because I saw art and it didn’t mean anything to me; there wasn’t any kind of message. I figured if I ever did art—it’d have a message that could be subtle, but still taken personally on different levels.”

Chef Corey Sibley and his wife Kristie of C&K Catering will be appearing at Ingredients which will be the start of Ingredient’s first year anniversary celebration. Come in to taste Chef Corey’s wonderful dishes and to hear Kristie sing.

Roxy Regional TheatreThe Roxy Regional Theatre’s Peg Harvill Gallery features paintings from Terri Jordan’s series “Extinctly Endangered,” focusing on the idea that, like some animals, the imaginative play of young children seems to be getting more scarce.  Known primarily for her figurative paintings of women, Terri’s Roxy show includes a new subject for her: animals and children. 

While visiting the theatre for the ArtWalk, be sure to catch James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim’s critically-acclaimed INTO THE WOODS at 7:00pm.

Visions Metaphysical BoutiqueVisions Metaphysical Boutique is proud to host a new, budding artist by the name of Margaret Handley.  She sketches with colored pencil/ink in a modern/impressionist/futuristic style, and it is very cool and interesting. 

Come by and meet her for the Artwalk.
