POSTED ON 11.29.2018
Admission is free and all artworks will be available to purchase for $50.
The GALLERY RALLY is a live drawing party and fundraiser where artists work side-by-side, and the work goes on sale as they are completed. Visitors have the opportunity to watch the creative process, as sketches become completed works of art throughout an hour. Over 40 invited artists will work in 1-hour shifts with two shifts. All types of artists, such as Clay Witt, Eileen French, Aaron Eichorst, Ryan Trott, Michael Fitts, Stacey Evans, and many more will be represented and making work. As the artists complete their work, they are immediately available for only $50 each!
The event is family friendly. Little artists will love to watch the variety of work being made. There is also a kid’s table where young artists can create their own GALLERY RALLY piece. Those works can be sold for $5 to benefit the gallery (if the artist is willing to share).
The GALLERY RALLY will take place in the exhibition space at Second Street Gallery in the Live Arts building. Refreshments will be available for purchase such Devil’s Backbone beer, In Vino Veritas Fine Wine, Potter’s Craft Cider and non-alcoholic drinks.

We love the haunting and visually stunning work of WaxenVine, the collective vision of husband and wife team, photographer Scott Irvine and artist Kim Meinelt. Featuring the overlap of the mundane and the romantic, the result is work that is simultaneously beautiful and unsettling, such as this piece, “encapsulated”, in which the floral overlay gives the impression of broken glass. TORN will be on view until January 18th, so come out and see these works in person before they are gone!

WAXenVINE is the collective vision of husband and wife team, photographer Scott Irvine and artist Kim Meinelt. WAXenVINE seeks the unusual within the mundane and beauty in unexpected places by layering and blending multiple images together, resulting in a hauntingly poetic dreamscape that transcends reality and the singular imagery. The result is a simultaneously romantic and unsettling experience. Their exhibition, “Torn”, will be on view at the Gallery until January 18th.

“Magnolia in Repose” is one of the stunning works featured in John Grant’s “Attraction” exhibition. While many of his works feature botanicals at full bloom, Grant also reminds us of their decay- and likewise, the fragility of beauty. “Attraction” will be on view until January 18th.
