Clarksville, TN – Downtown Clarksville Association presents First Thursday ArtWalk Thursday, January 6th, 5:00pm to 8:00pm.
Downtown Artist Co-Op will feature Friends of Photography. The Friends of Photography will feature a series of photographs titled “Shadows.” What is the perception of a shadow, only the photographer will tell. The club has some seasoned photogs and some that are showing for the first time.
ARTifacts Emporium will feature Gabriele Wardeiner, Tutu Good and Oh Baby! Antiques. . “Art should be serious fun” sort of sums up the way Gabriele Wardeiner approaches her encounters with pencils and brushes. Mostly self trained she just enjoys drawing, painting and trying new things on paper, board and even metal. She is also a certified “pack rat”, which comes in handy creating the hundreds of truly unique, special greeting cards you see in her booth. Rounding up the offerings are some interesting antiques, “almost” antiques and 14 K gold and silver jewelry.
Jennifer Gerasimas is the creative mind behind Tutu Good. Jennifer, a stay at home mom of a little girl, feels all girls deserve to feel special and unique. Jennifer makes tulle tutus in any size, length, and combination of colors. In addition to tutus, she also makes flower clips that can be worn a variety of ways – in the hair, on headbands or beanies, and on the front of the tutus.
Oh Baby! Antiques says, “I love painting old furniture and replacing the hardware or adding new detail. Anything rusty speaks to me, as does vintage jewelry. I love repurposing these items into unique wall hangings.”
The Framemaker proudly presents “Terra Firma” – a portfolio of broadsides featuring poems from Zone 3, created by Austin Peay State University printmaking students using the University’s Goldsmith Press & Rare Type Collection. In 1985, APSU English professors David Till and Malcolm Glass set out to establish one of the South’s preeminent poetry journals. Twenty-five years later the journal, Zone 3 has grown into a leading voice in the nation’s network of literary magazines. This exhibition celebrates the magazine’s 25 years of creative excellence. A poetry reading of selected Zone 3 work will be held from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. The artwork will remain on display through January 28th during normal business hours: 10:00am to 5:00pm.
