April showers bring downtown flowers

by Susan Gartner

Evening showers brought beaucoup flowers to those who ventured out last night for April’s Third Friday Fling.

The YS Arts Council Gallery held an opening reception for local photographer Steve Lord (above) and his richly-colored images of trillium, irises, and hibiscus. Steve sold four pieces at the reception---a YSAC record and personal best! This is Steve’s first solo exhibit.

Last night was also the opening reception for Village Artisan’s “A Yellow Spring” exhibit. I’m modeling a hat created by local Jafagirl (“Just Another Fabulous Artist”) Nancy Mellon and the painting is from NOLAA Gallery owner Jennifer Float.

Steve will be in the YSAC Gallery today, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., which is located at 309 Xenia Avenue. Village Artisans is open today 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. and located at 100 Corry Street.
