Clarksville’s Downtown Art Walk to be held on January 2nd
Clarksville, TN – Produced by The Downtown Clarksville Association, First Thursday Art Walk is a free, self-guided tour spanning a 5-block radius that combines visual art, live music, engaging events and more in the heart of Downtown Clarksville.
With 10+ venues, bars and businesses participating each month, the First Thursday Art Walk in Clarksville is the ultimate opportunity to savor and support local creative talent.

The Downtown Artists Co-op
96 Franklin Street
The Downtown Artists Co-op is an association of talented local artists and interested patrons dedicated to promoting the visual arts in the Clarksville/Montgomery County area.
Downtown Artists Co-op is proud to present “Delights of Winter“, an exhibit of fine art featuring Claus “Dutch” Mann and Heike Sichterman. The exhibit features hand-made jewelry and photography by Heike and intricate, wood carvings by Dutch.
For this exhibit, Heike was inspired by “the European palaces built in the Baroque style. The opulence and splendor in gold and vivid colors one would see in the interior, (this) is what I tried to recreate in my jewelry reminiscent of what the ladies would wear for a lavish Winter Ball.“
A native of Germany, Hieke muses on her exhibit, “Even in those dreary winter days one can find things to cheer one up. There are joys in a winter scene with snow sparkling in the sun, or sparkles and splashes of color in jewelry one may see in stores.“
Dutch’s wood carvings offer a wonderful compliment to Hieke’s exquisite jewelry. His work for this show includes low-relief wood carvings of woodland nature scenes, colored with paints. Dutch is Veteran of World War II and the Korean War. He is also a native of Germany who immigrated to the US in 1924 at 7 years of age.
Please join us at the DAC Gallery, 96 Franklin Street for the opening reception of Delights of Winteron Thursday, January 2nd, 5:00pm-8:00pm.
