There was such a nice turnout on Third Friday for the opening of three new exhibits in the Riverfront Renaissance for the Arts, 22 N. High Street. The Associate Member Show has dozens of beautiful paintings, photographs, and a smattering of sculpture. In the Witt Gallery you can view “The Golden Hour,” an open call to artists exhibit; the Artists’ Alcove has paintings of two fine artists. These exhibits can be visited from now through May 15, on Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

On Third Friday we welcomed two new businesses in the Village on High, 501 N. High Street. Artist Maryann Cannon opened her third gallery called “Bottled Memories.” This unique gallery has a variety of frames for sale. The client chooses a frame to purchase, and the artist will paint your favorite memory or memories. Prices vary according to size. You will see samples of paintings Cannon did to get ideas—possibly the family home, or childhood memories, or memories of your grandmother.

The other ribbon cutting that was celebrated was the “Simple Life Studio.” Artist Kevin Jordan welcomed family and friends to see his new working studio that is also filled with his art that is for sale. Kevin works with various mediums and specializes in Hex Signs that may be perfect for your home. Village galleries and shops are open weekly from Thursday to Sunday, 12 noon to 5 p.m.
