Honorable Mention awards were presented to Cole Lamson and Tabitha McIntyre, both recent graduates. A special opening event will coincide with the June 6th Artwalk from 5-7 pm. Visitors to the gallery will enjoy a variety of themes, mediums, and personal expression by these young local talents.

'Bird Creek Bridge' - Mixed Media by Tom Robb, Tulsa Excellent Reasons to Collect Fine Art Collectors support the vitality of an arts community. When you purchase a painting by a local artist, you validate his/her creative vision. Artists stay where they experience recognition. It's generally understood that a community thrives when people support local businesses and athletic events. Supporting the arts is every bit as beneficial to an area's quality of life. Artists have enlivened our community by participating in our local downtown gallery & area art shows. Many offer classes that encourage adults and children to become more creative & to see the world in a different way. They have the ability to further beautify our homes and the city through murals, commissioned portraits, art benches and public sculptures, helping to give a sense of identity to ourselves & our community. One collector of art sums up what I've tried to convey by saying that art satisfies a hunger for experiencing the best that humans have to offer. Disposable products, such as electronic gadgets that are built to become obsolete, inundate our culture. By contrast, good art has an enduring quality. People need to own some things that are meant to last. In collecting art, you have to trust your gut reaction, and when you see something you really love, you should buy it! Thank you for supporting our area artists!
