Join Area 61 Gallery for First Friday December from 6-8 pm featuring tiny art originals, hand-made giftables, and more by featured artist Emily Boyd.
They've added new original pieces from Emily and all of their artists since last month's First Friday. In addition, several have reproduced their original works on ornaments, jewelry, calendars and art prints which are perfect for unique small gifts and stocking stuffers.
Drop in between 6-8 pm to mix and mingle with our artists – browse, shop, and soak up the holiday cheer.
Local artist Rick Sanders is also an art teacher in the Hamilton County school system. And this month, he is offering three art classes open to anyone.
He used to travel around the southeast during his teaching breaks hosting a drawing class that he developed based on the power of observation, using the eyes, not the brain.
He insists that "I Can Teach Anyone to Draw Realistically in 45 Minutes". Though many are skeptical at first, he says he's had 100% success and everyone has a good time.
So, Area 61 recruited him to dedicate some of his teacher's December break to lead three of these classes to inspire creativity and holiday cheer. The cost is $12 per person (includes supplies) and space is limited to 10 people per class.
