Artemis Gallery Presents “Dogs Gone Wild Unleashed” by Artist Rusty Hammer

Posted on by

For our June 2018 First Friday, We hosted Florida folk artist Rusty Hammer who has created  a whole new litter of his wonderfully whimsical, wooden dogs! 

These eccentric dogs are made out of pine and found object wood left over from other projects. Most people consider them to be Outsider Art or Folk Art since rusty doesn’t go by a formal MFA program. All Rusty’s work reflects his hysterical sense of humor, combining dog and human features and characterizations!

Rusty was present at our exhibition and chatted with all the dog/art lovers who visited our enlightened establishment. We were lucky enough to have live music by Norman Norteldor his daughter and his wife. The entire event was an outrageous blast! 

 

Artemis Gallery Presents Contemporary Contradictions in Glass First Friday Oct 5th

Posted on by

Artemis Gallery will present unique challenging art glass by up and coming young artists who challenge Dale Chihuly’s concepts of
decorative art.

For years, Dale Chihuly has been
impressing museums and collectors with his over done decorative glass
chandeliers that are dificult to install and can only be hung with his
15 associates.

At Artemis, you will see refreshing
new glass that you can instal yourself and be able to enjoy for years.

New color, new technique, and new artists will show a contradictory vision to Chihuly’s museum show and more
accurately represent the next
generation in glass.

Reconstructive Viewpoints Photographic Chronicals at Artemis First Fridays April 6th

Photographic Chronicles  of the Huguenot Bridge by Bruce Yoder and  other Richmond perspectives by Keith Deringer.

We often take for
granted the beautiful bits of natural and
manmade elements surrounding us each day.
Thankfully, we have two emerging photographers in
our own backyard to remind us of these easily missed gifts.
The chronicles of the Huguenot Bridge upgrade often brings to mind
questions, frustrations, and sometimes delays as we cross from one suburb
of Richmond to another. Bruce Yoder spent many Saturday and Sunday
afternoons walking across the 63 year old bridge capturing the beauty of
natural elements both before and during their transformations into manmade
use. Surprisingly stunning photographs are now his gift to us as we
vicariously slow down and take the time to just look.
Similarly, freelance photographer Keith Deringer shares his passion for the
beauty in the world around us as he takes shots of both nature and people.
Deringer’s photo art also provides a behind-the-scenes look at many
Richmond art gatherings and socials, rituals (the great American game of
baseball with Richmond’s own Flying Squirrels), and the energy
thus produced.
Come out and join Artemis Gallery as we celebrate two great local emerging
photographers, live music, and light refreshments throughout the evening!
Artworks will be available for viewing throughout the month of April on
Saturdays from 12-5PM and all other times by appointment when you
call 804-353-2676.
