Blue Waters Fine Art and Design reopens for Gallery Walk, Friday, Sept. 6, at their new location at 825 Central Avenue in the downtown Arts District. The gallery is nestled between Justus Gallery and Maxwell Blade in the historic Malco Theater.
“Finding a space downtown was a seemingly-impossible dream come true for us,” says Laura Blue Waters. “When I was a kid this building was a restaurant and bar that served chili mac and beer. The lofty original metal ceiling is intact, and the space fits our work.”
The gallery will showcase contemporary, unique pieces for the home and garden, including hand-forged works in iron and cast aluminum, sculpture, painting, and wheel-thrown pottery. Monthly guest artists and changing exhibitions are also part of the gallery’s agenda.
On Sept. 6, the public is welcome to attend the Chamber of Commerce Ribbon Cutting at 10 am, and their Grand Opening during Gallery Walk from 5-9 pm. The gallery is open Thursday-Saturday and Monday from 10:00- 5:00 p.m., and by appointment 501- 701-8036.
