We will be closed for the 4th of July. We will re-open Saturday for our normal hours of 10am-7pm.

Sorry, but it’s for the best; we get distracted by picnic food and sparkly things.

Your Work ‘08 Best In Show

Maureen — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:35:47 +0000

The Your Work ‘08 opening was great. We loved seeing so many artists and art lovers in attendance. I heard such wonderful comments about the caliber of work that was presented.

For those that couldn’t attend, the work will be up on view and available for purchase until July 13th. We will post awards later today. Most of the artists who won awards were in attendance, but there were a couple who were missing in action. We’ll try to reach them later today.

Above you will see the piece that won, Best in Show. It is “I Like Tears in the Rain” by Jeff Hulligan. It’s a mixed media piece, reverse painting on glass, and an ink wash in the background. The judges went crazy for this piece, and Jeff was so gracious about his award.

Peggy Spaeth from Heights Arts wanted to thank all of the businesses and artists who donated items for the auction. Things were so crazy that she’s not even sure how much was raised yet, but she will say that it was “A LOT!” We truly appreciate everyone who donated and bid on the items, because Heights Arts has done so much for our community that we wanted to help support them as well.

Looking forward to next year!
