Hello Friends ~
We made the drive to Wabash, IN on Sunday to deliver Chris' paintings to the Borders & Beyond Art Gallery. Gallery co-owner Diane Morris (and her husband Conrad) took time out of their Valentine's Day to meet us (Chris, Mike, Andrea & Elizabeth) at the AG so we could finally meet in person and make proper introductions. Of course Andrea already met Diane... that's what made this whole thing possible.
The gallery is incredible with very high tin coffered ceilings and tons of wall space. You can tell the wood floors have have been walked on many times... and just might be original to the building, I'm not sure. With A & E's help we delivered a number of paintings and I can't wait to see how they are displayed for the event.
I'm inserting 2 snaps I took that day... I usually always take more than 1 shot and somehow I didn't that day. The first picture is looking into the gallery from the front; and, the 2nd snap is Chris with gallery co-owner Diane Morris (sorry about the closed eyes - see, I should have taken 2).
That's all for now from the "Chris Blank - Acrylic / Mixed-Media Artist" blog headquarters. Have a great day!
Mike
I'm pleased to let you know I'll be a featured artist for 3 months (March - May). The exhibit will be held at Borders & Beyond Art Gallery in Wabash, IN. Wabash is a great little city located some 50 miles from Ft. Wayne. Having a wonderful downtown area, Wabash has not been affected by strip malls and large chain operations while keeping its historical character in tact (mom & pop still live here).
Thanks to my sister Andrea, she helped make this event possible. Fortunately for me she needed to frame a piece of my art and took it to Borders & Beyond. When seeing the painting the owners inquired who did it, she said her brother and the rest is history. I would like to take this time to thank the owners, Amy Ford and Diane Morris for the honor to showcase my work in such a great space. A reception will be held sometime this spring (with a date to follow) so you can all come and see what I'm talking about. We will have a new "Borders & Beyond" gallery web page on my website and I invite you to check it out effective March 1st.
Thank you for your support, interest and patronage...
