CVA’s November art exhibit and reception will feature John Farr of Clayton and Helen Crouse of Raleigh.

The exhibit at The Clayton Center, 111 E. Second St., will run Nov. 3-28. We will host a reception for John and Helen on Thursday, Nov. 6, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the lobby of the center. We hope you can join us in honoring them and viewing their work.

Both the exhibit and reception are free and open to the public. Dress is casual, and light refreshments will be served — cookies, fruit, cheese, wine, punch. If you have friends who might be interested in this event, please invite them to come, too.

Wow, next Friday, October 11, 2008, has come and gone and I haven’t put up the Booth Registration form. Bad me. I’m working on it, but the Grand Opening is already upon me and I just don’t know where the days went.

But the Galleries are filling up and we still have room for more, so get yours in before it’s too late.

I will be traveling this weekend, Friday to Sunday, with the Clayton High School Band, but Bonnie will be at the center if you wish to drop off paintings with her. She will have an inventory list for you to fill out. Just call her to make sure she will be there. Anytime after 10 am on the weekend should be fine.

Hope to see you at the Grand Opening!

If anyone would like to help out and make a sign along the lines of Whimsical and a little Disney, let me know. We can use the help. It would need to read Holiday Village as well, A street sign of sorts. One that can change as events change.

Gallery B is contemporary, cozy and homey. The wood burning stove, mantel, brick surround and wooden ceiling complement the wood floor. A rich find by the owners.

The wood floor was covered up by a layer of floor board, a layer of padding and a layer of carpeting. The floor extends the length of the front two rooms, Gallery A & B.  

If you would like to see your painting hanging in this Gallery, send your information and two phones to Donna@eyeoftheeagleart.com

We hope you come to visit us soon.
