Open House Friday and Saturday

Gallery 360 invites you to come by this weekend to help us spread Festivus joy. We have Festivus cookies, Festivus coffee, and a Festivus Pole. Most of all, we have Festivus Art. Highly affordable, collectable, and give-able as gifts. (I understand Kelley will be bringing in a batch of new jewelry.)

We'll be open both days from 10 AM until 7 PM. Come see our art stuff.

Nathan Fellhauer's "Circletoons"

Recognize these guys? They're Rocket Raccoon, Nebula, Ronan the Accuser, and the ever taciturn Groot. The artist, Nathan Fellhauer, is a fan of Guardians of the Galaxy as well as many other movies, animated and not. He recreates the characters as 'Circletoons' and we have about a dozen or so of his signed pen and ink drawings, starting at $60 each. Pretty darn cheap for originals. Not into collecting framed, one-of-a-kind art? We also have prints for $15 each.

Provided they don't all sell in the next few weeks, these will part of "Icebox," our next group show, which opens in January.

Three Pieces by Dick Easter

Dick Easter is one of nine woodturners whose work
is featured in "The Art & Function of Turned Wood," 

on display at Gallery 360 through May 31st.

What's Coming Up

Five more days before we start taking down our Festivus group show.  If you haven't made it, Saturday will be the last day to see one of our favorite collections yet, with artists Amy Edgington, Laura Fanning, Lynn Frost,  Angela Davis Johnson, Vernon Oberle, Ruth Pasquine, Nina Sharkey Culpepper, Anna Tanner, Ming Triplett, Byron Werner, Nina Willacey, Kelley Naylor Wise, and Debra Young.  There's great prices on much of the art, too, if you're in a buying mood.

The works of two of those artists, Anna Tanner and Kelley Naylor Wise, will be on display from Feb. 22 to April 5th.  They're calling it 'Fascination,' and from what I've seen so far (they've both been busy as bees getting ready) it's an apt title. The opening is Saturday, February 22nd, from 6 pm to whenever.

Central Arkansas wood turners will follow Anna & Kelley in April with a group show tentatively titled "Turnings."  Stay tuned for that.

And, it's good to keep in mind with the weather as cold as it's been, that the days are actually getting longer.  Soon it will be spring and not long after, May Day!  In celebration of Beltane, we will be welcoming Tuatha Dea on May 2nd.  They describe their music as Celtic tribal gypsy rock. I describe it as damn good.  If you attended SJ Tucker and Heather Dale's show here last October, you're bound to like these folks.  Hear them here.  And tickets can be purchased here.  We'll be posting more about this show as it approaches.

Keep those fires burning and support the arts!

Join Us for Art Festivus!

It's that time of the year again.  Time to dust off the old Festivus pole and air our grievances.

Actually, our grievances are few this year, but we do have feats of strength to exercise.  They are the talents of our artist friends, and we'll be showing them off on Friday, December 13th.  

What's that you say?  Gallery 360's end of the year group show opens on Friday the Thirteenth?  Hell yes, it does.  We ain't askared of no superstitious nonsense.  We'll pin it to the floor.

The opening is 6 to 9pm.  We'll be featuring works by Amy Edgington, Laura Fanning, Lynn Frost, Matt Hawk, Angela Davis Johnson, Vernon Oberle, Ruth Pasquine, Nina Sharkey Culpepper, Ming Triplett, Byron Werner, Nina Willacey, Kelley Naylor Wise, Debra Young & others. The show will run through Jan. 31, but since there's some kind of gift-giving holiday coming up, some of the pieces may exit the building early.  Don't worry, though; we plan to replace them with more good stuff.

So, that's Friday the Thirteenth, 6 to 9pm, for the Festivus for the rest of us.
