The following galleries are open for Gallery Walk on Friday, July 4
Dryden Pottery – 341 Whittington Avenue
Dryden, third-generation owned and operated, is a culmination of over 75 years of research and development, in-house formulated glazes and custom-blended clay combine to create a finished quality easily recognizable as “Dryden.” The Dryden showroom has one-of-a-kind, original, new, vintage, and collectible Dryden pottery for sale. We will have many new pottery pieces to view or buy in our Gallery and our potter will be present for questions. We are continuing the display of art by Dr. John Zubro Jr. Here is an excerpt from his website:
“Instead of carving wood to create a relief, he applies white lines to a black iPad canvas that then creates a virtual relief. This process often begins with thematic inspiration drawn from lucid dreams he experiences that are further developed to produces high-contrast sketches. These rough illustrations are then used to guide the application of the white lines to the iPad canvas.”
Aqua – 340 Central Avenue
Aqua features art by iconic local artists Lori Arnold and Alison Parsons and one-of-a-kind handbags by the Arkansas woman-owned line Wolf and Willa. Located adjacent to the beautiful and historic Waters Hotel, Aqua is the sister store to Wrapped and is open until 7 pm.
