Gate City Fine Arts Guild Paint Night
If you are a budding artist or just enjoy painting for fun the Gate City Fine Arts Guild is for you. The Guild is getting together on Thursday, April 5, to enjoy painting and each other’s company. Come be a part of the fun and join this group of local and regional painters. For more information please call the Arts Center at 859-498-6264.
Plein Aire Painters of the Bluegrass
The Arts Center Gallery is hosting a delightful exhibit of paintings from the Plein Aire Painters of the Bluegrass. Plein Aire is a type of painting where the artists are actually outside with their easels painting landscapes, etc., using the natural light of the day. This is a traditional form of painting that has been around for centuries.
I peaked at the exhibit and it is going to be a beautiful one. Please join us Friday, April 6, from 4:30-7:00PM for this free reception and Gallery Talk at 5:30PM. We wish to say a special thank you to our friends in Traditional Bank for making this exhibit possible.
The Coffee House Sampler
Following the Opening Reception Friday night, we will be presenting the multi talented and popular musician Vearl Pennington in the 5th of a series of Coffee Houses at 7:00PM. All of our Coffee Houses have featured musicians who auditioned in March to perform in our Small Performance Café. The evening is casual, great music, and fun for everyone and the cost is only $5.
On Friday, April 13th, our featured artists will be Greg & Megan Wilson of “Peace of the Bluegrass”. This will be the last in our series of Coffee Houses until we begin our second set early this summer. For more information please call: 859-498-6264.

Regional Student Art Show
To finish up our month of April we will be presenting the Annual Regional Student Art Show in the Gateway Regional Arts Center. Saturday, April 28th, students are invited to submit their artwork between the hours of 8:00-10:00AM in the Arts Center. There is a fee of $1/piece and a limit of 4 pieces.
This year we are again including sculpture, photography, computer art, still life, portrait, landscape and abstract works. All students from surrounding counties in grades K-12 are invited to enter their original work.
2 dimensional works must be in a ready-to-hang format. Such as mounted on poster board, matted, or framed (must be wired to hang, absolutely no saw tooth hangers will be accepted). Students K-5th are encouraged to matte or mount work rather than frame.
Sunday, April 29th, the displays will be open to the public with awards given at 2:00PM. Awards include First Place ribbons, Champion Ribbons, and cash prizes for overall winners in each age group. This is a great opportunity for our young artists to show off their talents and to network with others in the region who enjoy the arts. For more information: 859-498-6264.

The ArtShop located in the Gateway Regional Arts Center is taking on a new look. We now feature local, regional, and Kentucky Craft Market Juried Artists in the shop. This is a great place to shop for one-of-a-kind gifts and we are offering a Brides Registry too.
