Whats new at the gallery

As everything in life, the gallery is evolving constantly. 
As I slowly get my business savoy down and my books etc. sorted, things are getting easier to manage here all by my lonesome.  I am trying to keep everyone up to date with what has been going on..sometimes it takes me a while though... c'est la vie.

Contrary to popular belief the Chili Thom Gallery isn't just full of all of my work.  I currently have works from a huge assortment of local artists and I am always looking for new up and coming artists to display as well.

I finally have a great assortment of prints form a bunch of local artists so if you are looking for some nicely priced prints to decorate your walls or as great gifts swing down to the gallery and check out prints from 11 different artists.  There is also a decent mix of art cards, amazing metalwork and fantastic jewelery!... and soon I plan on having artist T-shirts too.

August 6th is the opening of the Function Artwalk.  There will be live entertainment, food, drinks and an overall good vibe.  So swing on down from 6-9 pm.  If it's a nice day ride your bike down, get some exercise and save the environment as well.

On Saturday August 14th there will be a group show down here
called "A Forest for the Trees".
It will contain the works of lots of different painters, sculptors and a new addition of photographers.  The whole show will have a green forest theme and the impact in the space will be amazing.  If you cant make it down for the actual opening it will be up for a month so make sure you come down and check it out, as it will be the best show yet at the gallery!!

For the Artwalk in the Village I will be changing up my art in Sushi Village and showing off some new works in a different style.  I have 6 new pieces that I have done on a textured canvas that are a departure from my usual work, but it is all in a progression towards some great ideas I have brewing in my head.
