On Friday, March 8th, art enthusiasts and supporters gathered to commemorate the Grand Opening of the Art Unframed Gallery located at the Downtown CAAT. It was a celebration marked by camaraderie, great food, and, most importantly, awe-inspiring artwork. As vistors mingled, they were treated to a captivating array of pieces, each telling a unique story and bearing the indelible mark of its creator.
This inaugural event was particularly poignant as it was inspired by Women's History Month. In homage to the profound contributions of women in the arts, the gallery featured works from seven exceptionally talented local female artists. Their creations served as a testament to the enduring legacy of women in shaping culture and challenging conventions.
Among the attendees was Jasmine F., who expressed her delight: "...it was a pleasure...being apart of such and enlightening, beautiful experience! So happy about the turn out and success of the new studio and can’t wait for what’s to come! Me and my aunt Lisa really enjoyed ourselves. Everything turned out amazing and every artist is talented and passionate! Loved all the art!" Her sentiments were echoed by many, including Twyla Simpkins, who made the first purchase of artwork from the gallery—an exquisite piece titled "Peek A Boo" by artist Velvet Poindexter.
