The Huntington ArtGawk - October 8 Through November 5

The Create West Virginia Conference is less than two weeks away and dozens of citizen volunteers are working to prepare the downtown area for this important event. One of these efforts is ArtGawk.

Regional artists will display their work in storefronts in downtown Huntington from Oct. 8 through Nov. 5. The exhibit, called ArtGawk, is in conjunction with the Create West Virginia Conference, scheduled for Oct. 18-20. More than 50 works of art from about two dozen artists
will include paintings, prints, photographs, drawings, ceramics, fabric art and sculptures.

The art will be displayed in windows along 9th and 10th streets from 3rd to 4th avenues and in the 900 block of 3rd Avenue. The display is patterned after ArtGawk during FestivALL Charleston and is sponsored by Taylor Books and FestivALL Charleston. Information is
available at info@FineARC.org.
