DAC showcases art of Beverly Parker

February 4, 2009 |

DAC will host its February ArtWalk Thursday, Feb. 5, from 5-8 p.m.  Cliff Whittaker comments on the current exhibit:

A new and exciting perspective on photography is about to be presented at the Downtown Artists Co-op located at 96 Franklin St. in beautiful downtown Clarksville.  In fact, that’s what it’s called:  An Alternative Perspective.  And, it features the work of long-time and highly respected DAC member Beverly Parker.

Beverly has developed a technique of manipulating original Polaroid images into scenes of artistic beauty and wonder.  She punches, scrunches and squiggles the emulsion of the original Polaroid photograph and then adds bits and pieces of images and 3-D items to enhance the effect.  There is more, but I’m not going to give away all of the secrets of the process.  You will have to come to the Downtown Artists Co-op gallery located at 96 Franklin St. to view the finished results.  «Read the rest of this article»

Winter’s night sky over Clarksville

By Christine Anne Piesyk | December 11, 2008 |

The cold air sweeping in from the northwest pushed away the storminess of the day, leaving behind a scattering of deep clouds to be burnished by the setting sun. The air at first held a golden glow, then shifted to a glowing fuschia color streaked with gold, akin to the glow of a candle flickering through cranberry glass.

Natural or unnatural beauty paralyzed and captured in time from behind a camera lens. The current exhibit of photography at the Customs House Museum is a photographic response to the challenge to interpret subject matter metaphorically and or literally in answer to the question: “What does the spirit of light mean to you as a photographer?”

Silke’s “Evening with the Artists:” A warm and cozy house party

By Turner McCullough Jr. | October 14, 2008 |

Not your typical house party, mind you, but a warm and cozy coffeehouse atmosphere that celebrated new artworks, friendship and great food. The viewing was fluid and inspiring as viewers discovered new delights from front to rear and back again.

Saturday evening saw Clarksville’s own Silke’s Old World Breads open for a special occasion — its bi-monthly artwork installation known as ‘An evening with the Artists.”

This evening of free-roaming art viewing and appreciation was accompanied with a buffet of Silke’s equally impressive and absolutely scrumptious food. This evening of art appreciation welcomes all art lovers. On Saturday night, that meant “standing room only.” «Read the rest of this article»
