Re-Opening This Week!

We're so excited to finally be able to re-open! Illinois Road is a dream with four lanes, a passing lane, sidewalks, bike paths, and people!

Construction is done and the doors are finally open. Please tell your friends and join us this October weekend for featured "green" art, refreshments and new items from all of our artists!

Thursday, Oct. 14 — open noon-6 pm
Friday, Oct. 15 — noon-6pm; Reception 5-7pm
Saturday, Oct. 16 — noon-6pm; Open House

Come meet featured artists Amy Morris and Katie Stapleton, creators of Recyc-Le-Bowls. Originally intended as gifts for the family, papermaking for stationery sets quickly evolved into colorful, unique, handmade paper bowls. Perfect as a functional decorative container or perfect for adding pop and prominence when placed in groups on a wall, it's hard to believe this beautiful pieces of art once were shredded documents.

Always a gallery8010 favorite, Suzi Emley of Collem Designs returns with wonderful new decorative pillows and purses, and artistically-styled jewelry. We catch her right before she leaves for Paris for a week-long trip of inspiration and new ideas. Suzi takes inspiration from whatever she sees and never knows what a purse, pillow, necklace, earring, watch or bracelet will look like until it's absolutely finished.
