Editor’s Note: We’d like to congratulate AWG on its decades of success. As new owners of The Springs Magazine, we were excited to feature AWG’s move to its new location in our November 2013 issue.
In this era where venues for artists to show their work are growing exceedingly rare, the Artists’ Workshop Gallery (AWG) stands out. The Hot Springs gallery scene has been through the ups and downs of economic fluctuations, floods, ice storms, the pandemic, and most recently, the inconvenience of road construction.
Yet through all this, the Artists’ Workshop Gallery is thriving. It survived the pandemic in part because its business model does not focus on business, it centers on the art itself. Gallery members voted to continue to pay their monthly membership fees even though the gallery was closed, and no art was being shown. It paid off. When the gallery was finally able to reopen its sales were the best they had ever been.
At AWG shoppers will see an extensive variety of work that includes oils, acrylics, scratch board, watercolor, ink, graphite, pastel, collage, mixed mediums, and photography. You will be able to choose from fabric art, pottery, glass works, journals, jewelry, note cards, miniature paintings, and sculpture.
They have art for every budget, from reasonably priced original works to inexpensive prints and note cards. You will find works that are perfect for gifts, will go with your décor, and more than a few that will challenge you.
Come join the AWG artists at 610A Central Avenue for their 33rd anniversary celebration during Gallery Walk, January 5, from 5-9 PM. Champagne toast at 6 PM. Take advantage of 20% off all art that evening during Gallery Walk hours.
