KINGSPORT – Flying Pig Gallery and Studios is holding a special two-week showing of gallery artist Rob Beverlys images of New York City. The images were made during Robs December trip to the City.
The opening reception will be from 5pm-7pm on Friday February 13th and the show will run through February 28th.
Flying Pig is an exciting new Arts Space located in two adjacent buildings located on the corner of Broad and Center streets in Downtown Kingsport, TN. Flying Pig Gallery and Studios is open Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday from 10 am‚¬5 pm (On Fridays ‚¬til 7pm). The spirit of the Flying Pig is community. This is a space for creative people to be a vital part of the new Downtown Kingsport. Where dreams can come true and you can make a lot of good friends on the
way.
The gallery side features Fine Art and Fine Craft by several nationally-acclaimed artists & craftspeople. There are paintings, jewelry, pottery, textiles, photography and more. All artwork is for sale. There will be a series of art classes for children and adults offered to the public over the next few months.
The studio side features the Kingsport Carousel animals that have been hand-carved from wood, and then hand-painted. The Carousel animals have been located in businesses throughout Kingsport over the past several months so that the public could see the animals that will go on to the Carousel when it is completed in early 2015. Now, all of the animals have been collected in one location open for the public to visit.
In addition to the Carousel animals, the Rounding Boards, Bird Paintings, and other Carousel components are also on exhibit. Carvers and painters will be on hand to talk about the process of creating these beautiful animals, and to discuss the story behind each animal and how each component of the Carousel is tied to the Kingsport Community. There is a Kingsport Carousel store (future gift shop) located within the studios with beautiful t-shirts, notecards, posters, and much more for sale. Help make Pigs Fly!
