If you get out tomorrow, enjoy the fall splendor, indulge your eyes with the beauty of art, meet the artists and support this wonderfully creative aspect of our community, the Mid City Artists. Stop by Regina Miele's new space on 14th Street. She just moved in across the street from Raven Arts. Regina has a brand new light filled space which houses her studio, frame shop in back and a gallery with street level access. It's as inviting as she is and presently filled with some of her beautiful oil paintings.
harmon art lab is the creation of artists Peter e Harper and Thomas Drymon and is just down the street in a space that houses a gallery and artists studios on the upper floor. HAL is a creative collaboration that ties art curator, artist and viewer into an interactive dialogue of ideas and engagement.

where you can see her oil and acrylic abstract paintings.

I'm always delighted to step
into the studio of found object sculptor Chuck Baxter. It's a mixture of
delight and recognition of the found objects that are transformed into
whimsical sculpture.

While I was checking out his work, a music box sculpture was
purchased by someone as soon as they heard it. The person was reminded of her
childhood from the bits and pieces and sounds of the piece. Chuck's work
is definitely a must see!
