The Downtown Artists Co-op (96 Franklin Street)
The DAC is an association of talented local artists and interested patrons dedicated to promoting the visual arts in the Clarksville/Montgomery County area.

Artist Information
Downtown Artists Co-op (DAC) is proud to announce an exhibit of fine art photography by Shane Moore. The opening reception for this exhibit will be on June 4th from 5:00pm till 8:00ppm.
Shane Moore was born and raised in Clarksville. He attended Austin Peay State University, earning a Bachelors degree in 2003 with a minor in Photography. He was a founding member of the DAC in 2002 and continues today as a leader and artist member. His work has been shown throughput the region and has won numerous awards.
Of the title of the exhibit Moore says, “One night in May, I was in the darkroom printing. The song Silver Springs (a great old song) was playing and I had an “exhibit title epiphany.” He goes on to say of the lyrics that inspired the title, “Silver represents by darkroom work. The “Springs” represents many things to me: new beginnings and rebirth, something pure and precious that brings life and hope.
The “Blue green colors flashing” and “Shining Autumn” represents colors in my work. “I would be your only dream”, well, that is for my wife Jaime… she is my love, my friend, my inspiration and my only dream.” Also featured in Silver Springs is the art of Jane Moore, the newest DAC Member and Shane’s wife.
The DAC will be serving up appetizers, punch and wine for the opening, always a central part of Clarksville’s “First Thursday Art Walk”, a wonderful evening of art, music and more in beautiful Historic Downtown Clarksville. First Thursday Art Walk occurs regularly on the first Thursday of each month.

Artist Information
The Roxy Regional Theatre’s Peg Harvill Gallery is proud to host local artist, Richard Hogan during the June First Thursday Art Walk.
Richard Hogan began painting in earnest shortly after he retired in 2001. He has a doctorate in Physiology and Biophysics, and his professional life was in the scientific area, through research, teaching, and administration. His early paintings were traditional and very linear in approach.
His experiences since retirement have been quite different from his scientific background; however, he feels there are no marked differences in the philosophy and approach of art and science. At 73 years of age, he is developing yet another technique using multiple layers of glazing coupled with heavily textured canvas, the results of which are very colorful and clearly abstract. www.richardhogan.org
Gallery hours during Art Walk will be 5:00pm – 6:00pm due to a performance of “The Aristocats, Kids”. Additional gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00am – 2:00pm.
