Stop in Whittington Gallery to view the newest exhibit – Route 66: Avenue of Dreams. The show by Photographer-artists Drew and Lauren Knowles will be hanging through the month of July.
Whittington Gallery announces the opening of a photography exhibit entitled Route 66: Avenue of Dreams.
Photographer-artists Drew and Lauren Knowles produced the exhibit in the late 1990s, which has subsequently been shown in the Route 66 museums of McLean, Texas, and Clinton, Oklahoma, as well as other venues. The more than thirty pre-digital pieces in the exhibit include examples of black-and-white prints which have been painstakingly hand-painted for creative effect.
The exhibit will be displayed throughout the month of July, with its debut during Gallery Walk (Friday, July 3), at which time photographer Drew Knowles will be on hand to discuss the photographs, as well as his popular guide, the Route 66 Adventure Handbook, with any and all visitors to the gallery.
“I think it’s highly appropriate that Route 66 will be featured at this time, just as we enter the spring season, when many people are planning family vacations,” says Knowles. Fittingly, the exhibit will be showing in the recently-dedicated Lauren Knowles Annex within Whittington Gallery, named in honor of Drew’s late wife and fellow artist.
Whittington Gallery is located at 307 Whittington Avenue, in Uptown Hot Springs. For more information about the exhibit or the gallery, call 501-607-0214 or find them on Facebook: Whittington Gallery Studios.
