Free & open to the public | Downtown Hot Springs Area

To celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday, the Hot Springs monthly Gallery Walk, hosted by venues across downtown, has scheduled an assortment of original art, live music, and a commemorative keepsake for attending guests.
In honor of USA250, each participating Gallery Walk venue will offer a limited-edition commemorative sticker for guests to take home. Designs were created using original images by local artists Thomas Green, Diana Garrison, Michael Preble, and Jamie Craddock. The stickers are of limited quantity and will not be reprinted. This giveaway is presented by Visit Hot Springs and the Hot Springs Area Cultural Alliance. Pick up yours while supplies last at any participating gallery on July 3.

JULY 3 GALLERY WALK HIGHLIGHTS

Blue Donut Art Gallery  —  430 Valley Street

New acrylic-on-canvas paintings by artist Gini Sheffield, with design motifs drawn from her eight years living in Central America. Inspired by the natural world, her mixed media art is representational, abstract, and impressionistic. Gini exhibited in the 1989 National Headache Art Exhibition in Boston, and in galleries in Encinitas, CA, Galveston, Georgetown, and Hico, Texas. She studied painting with Robert Barberena in Granada, Nicaragua, and co-founded the Galeria Paseo Del Arte with her brothers Robert and Carlos in 2002. Also featured are new bas-relief paintings by Laura Blue Waters, wheel-thrown stoneware by Terry O’Dell, wood-and-metal work by Lee Fields and Tri-Lakes Ornamental Iron, hand-built ceramics by Norma Griffin, and cast glass by India Childress. Live music from 5 to 7 p.m.

Static  —  246 Ouachita Avenue, Suite 102
Kick off Fourth of July weekend at Static with Amber Waves — an evening of art, creativity, and community. Three pop-up artists join for the night: Rose Guzman guides guests in crafting personalized affirmation mirrors as daily reminders of strength and worth. Raven’s Feather offers hair wraps, a vibrant thread-woven tradition her family has practiced since 1994. Bound Creations crafts custom potion bottles — choose your colors, set your intentions, and leave with a one-of-a-kind keepsake. Refreshments by Spa City Snowballs & Lemonades.

Justus Fine Art Gallery  —  827 Central Avenue
The July exhibit opens with an outstanding gathering of talent. Paintings by Mark Blaney, John Lasater, Dennis McCann, Sammy Peters, Laura Raborn, Dolores Justus Reuther, Tony Saladino, Kathryn Sixbey, Peter Sixbey, Rebecca Thompson, and Steven Wise are featured alongside ceramics by Michael Ashley, wood sculpture by Robyn Horn and Sandra Sell, and wood-turned vessels by Gene Sparling. An opening reception runs the full Gallery Walk evening, 5 to 9 p.m.

Artists’ Workshop Gallery  —  610 Central Avenue
July’s featured artists are Teresa Widdifield and Irma McLeod — two painters with distinct roots and voices. Widdifield specializes in figurative paintings of women and pet portraits in oils, pastel, and acrylic. McLeod, a self-taught painter originally from Monterrey, Mexico, works in acrylics with a diverse range of subjects, from animals of lyrical beauty to occasional whimsy. Also on view are miniature paintings of Arkansas birds by Pati Trippel and miniature outdoor scenes by June Lamoureux. Live dulcimer music by Charlie Mink throughout the evening.
