Artworks 30th Anniversary Exhibition

December 28, 2014 - January 31, 2015
Reception: Gallery Hop, Friday, January 2, 7 - 10 pm
Celebration and Silent Auction Party, Sunday, January 11, 2 - 5 p.m.

Artworks Gallery celebrates its 30th Anniversary with a Group Show and a Silent Auction Celebration and Silent Auction Party on Sunday, January 11, from 2:00 to 5:00 P.M.

For our 30th Anniversary, each member has created a piece of art for sale by silent auction. The works are wall mounted, 11” x 14”, in a variety of mediums. The auction will begin at the Gallery Hop on Friday, January 2, and will end at the 30th Anniversary Celebration on Sunday, January 11, at 4:00 pm. Buyers can place bids on pieces of their choice any time the Gallery is open between these two dates.

In addition to the auction, the member artists will show new work in the larger gallery.

Artworks Gallery began in 1984 when twenty Winston-Salem artists decided to form a cooperative gallery in order to have the freedom of expression that having their own gallery would afford them. Thirty years and many shows later, the gallery is still thriving. In 1990 the Gallery moved to its present home at 564 N. Trade St. on the corner of Sixth St. in the Arts District.

Currently there are 21 artist members. Members work in many mediums and styles, including painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography, drawing, film, and computer art. The Gallery mounts 12 shows a year, mostly two-person shows, with occasional solo and group shows. The artist members and volunteers keep the Gallery open five days a week, doing all the work required to keep the gallery going. Most openings coincide with an Arts District Gallery Hop, a community evening enjoyed by hundreds.
