Creative Arts Guild Art Show and Reception

by Kevin Ivery  

In May of 2009, the Creative Arts Guild put on a three-week show displaying and selling a representative sampling of paintings by local artists Andy Morgan and Jerry Morrison.  The paintings included traditional medium pieces (chalks, watercolors, acrylics, etc.), as well as paintings completed in the more non-traditional “computer generated” medium (paintings completed manually via the computer Paint Program).  Both artists sold several pieces during the show, and both made several hundred dollars each in total sales.  A reception was held for the two artists on May 7, 2009, where local musician, Tony Burress, played the piano as a sizable crowd snacked on wine, punch, cheese, and crackers, while enjoying the artwork display. Mr. Burress collected a sizable amount of money in his “tip jar”, and Mr. Morgan and Mr. Morrison were lauded for their unique and very appealing artwork.
