Saturday Outting

This past Saturday at noon my friends, Carla and Stephanie, met me for lunch at one of our favorite places, Panera. We had plans for the afternoon to go gallery hopping. Our first stop was the ArtSpace at Untitled which is downtown OKC at 1 NE 3rd St. We, all being the fiber artists that we are, wanted to see their current exhibit, Altered Books. We were not disappointed, it was a wonderful, interesting and thought provoking exhibit so if you live in the area I can recommend it.

Our next stop was JRB Art at the Elms in the Paseo District which is one of my favorite galleries! Please, check out JRB's website if you aren't familiar with this place. This month the current exhibiting artists are Tracey Harris, James Smith, Leslie Lienau, Harolyn Long, & Eric Stevens. We know Leslie and Harolyn so we were particularly interested in seeing their exhibits, which were fabulous!

While we were in the Paseo District we stopped at a new gallery that we hadn't visited before, The Contemporary Art Gallery and had a nice visit with Marie Kash Weltscheimer, who was the featured artist in the gallery this month. This is a co-op gallery so the artists involved trade turns gallery sitting.

We had a wonderful afternoon and enjoyed seeing all the art. It's always inspiring to visit art galleries and I'm so blessed to have friends that enjoy the same activities!
