Artists’ Workshop Gallery at 610A Central Avenue, in Hot Springs, is excited to announce that Jim Heinley will be the featured artist for the month of July. In addition, the gallery is hosting a special event of small works by its artists, “6 x 6 for 36.”
Jim Heinley and his wife, Ann, moved to Hot Springs Village four years ago, after having spent most of their lives in the Dallas area. After a successful career in menswear, Jim redirected his talents to advertising and promotion. Jim is a self-taught artist who always enjoyed drawing but never took the time to tackle any major projects until after retirement.
With encouragement from Ann and others, he took up painting. He enjoys taking real life pictures and interpreting them in his unique style onto canvas. His particular areas of interest are urban scenes and unusual architecture, using an impressionistic style of painting.
Featured miniatures artists for July are Dianne Morgan and Jim Reimer.
“6 x 6 for 36” is an opportunity for art enthusiasts to pick up original works of art by the gallery’s talented artists for an amazingly low price. Each original 6” x 6” work of art is ready to hang or display, for the special price of only $36 each. These works were donated by the artists as a fundraiser for the gallery, to help compensate for the loss of sales during the pandemic. All funds raised will go to Artists’ Workshop Gallery, a non-profit organization and the oldest gallery in Hot Springs.
The gallery continues to maintain limited hours due to COVID-19: Thur-Sun, Noon. to 5:00 p.m. Although the gallery will not be participating in a live gallery walk for the first Friday in July, they invite you to view their virtual gallery walk, featuring the works of all their artists, at Facebook: Artists Workshop Gallery.
