Springs in the News!

Pam Dillon did a nice article on Springs Gallery that was in today's Dayton Daily News Life Section. It mentions our upcoming artist reception (Fri., 8/19) for Paula Willmot Kraus. She also did a sidebar (same page) on our upcoming workshops with steel painter Mike Elsass. Here are links to them - check them out!

The Art of Paula Willmot Kraus

Springs Gallery is pleased to present the art of Dayton photographer Paula Willmot Kraus. She is showing a variety of her lovely botanical palladium prints, silver gelatin prints and C-prints, from August through October, 2011. We are hosting an artist reception for her on Friday, August 19, (3rd Friday "Fling in the Springs") from 7 pm - 9 pm. The exhibit and reception are free and open to the public.

The Kraus piece shown here is a palladium print titled "Big/Small Maple Seeds."

Springs Gallery offering 2 Painting Workshops

Springs Gallery is offering the first two of what we hope will be many, varied classes and workshops. On Wednesday, August 31, 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm, and again on Thursday, September 15, 4 pm to 7 pm, we're hosting Dayton artist Mike Elsass, known for his abstract paintings on rusted steel. Mike and his students will be painting outside Springs Gallery on King's Yard. The cost is $70 for one session or $140 for both. All materials are provided, including the loan of a tuxedo shirt to get messy in.

Since it's on the public King's Yard you can, of course, just observe. But if you want to create and take home a piece of your own - just sign up. Registration forms are available in the gallery and the information is also posted here below.

Springs Gallery carries some of the work of Mike Elsass and we are thrilled to be able to offer the fun and informal instruction by such a talented and respected artist. Come join us in this adventure!

Note: All ages are welcome/rain or shine (unless it's pouring, of course, then we'll figure something out). Hope you can join us!

Above are 2 images I made of Mike's paintings. On the top/left is a 12 x 12" untitled piece, and on the bottom/right is a 12 x 15" painting titled "Teapot Rock 1, Sedona, Arizona."

Springs in the News!

Springs Gallery will have its Grand Opening celebration on Friday, June 17, 2011, 6 - 9 pm. We hope you can stop in to see our new space, meet friends (new and old) and share some refreshments.

In other news: The Yellow Springs News did a front-page story on Springs Gallery which came out today (6/2/11). If you're not around here to pick up a copy, you can see it in a few days online.

Also, I did a travel story on Yellow Springs for the Dayton Daily News; set to come out this Sunday, 6/5/11. And I just heard from the Dayton City Paper - they want to do a story on Yellow Springs prior to the upcoming Art Stroll (6/17/11) and they plan to interview - Springs Gallery! This ties in nicely with our Grand Opening.

Hope to see you soon!
