The Grayson Gallery & Art Center will wrap up their summer programming with the “Lots of the Fun in the Summertime” art show and sale, which will be on display through mid-September. An opening reception, free for artists and the public, will take place during the monthly Final Fridays in Grayson on August 29 from 6 – 9 p.m. A variety of subjects and mediums by artists across the region will be on display and refreshments will be available all evening.
In addition, entertainment will be provided by featured band, Middle Run Grass. The band will feature, “a little country, a little grass,” according to Eddie Riffe, the group’s founder/organizer. With Riffe on guitar and vocals, Tom Mallory playing bass, Shirley Seim on fiddle and David Chandler also playing guitar, they promise to delight the crowd with their selection of popular crossover tunes.
Refreshments will be provided by Sheila Marie Catering. An Awards & Announcements presentation will take place at approximately 7:45 pm, during which four, $50.00 cash prizes (or equivalent purchase award) will be given. The People’s Choice award selection will help engage visitors as they vote for their personal and favorite piece, while the Grayson Gallery Board of Directors will select their own special work. The Pen Lady, who also adds some information and an artsy “pin” for her selection, will choose the winner of her award. And the Brandon Click Art Memorial award will be chosen by the late artist’s family members.
Coming up in September will be a dual-artist exhibition and October will bring back the GGAC’s annual Halloween Art Show & Costume Party. More details about a special themed category and a special October event will be forthcoming.
