Dickson Gallery in Memphis Biz Journal

We recently got mentioned in the November 4-10, 2005 Memphis Business Journal. I've added the article to the gallery's media page. Check it out by clicking here
More great press for downtown Jackson and the Dickson Gallery of Fine Art!

We'll also soon be published in Jackson Magazine 2006...watch for that coming soon.

Happy Holidays!

HUGE success!

It was great! BIG crowd, lots of fun, many compliments, very successful. The music was great (thanks Claire & Audrey Hazlehurst {violin} and Dr. Sax {saxophone}, the food was great, and the art was great. Reminds me of what Tony the Tiger says...."they're G-R-E-A-T."
I've spoken with many of my artists and various folks who attended Friday night's "Art-i-versary" celebration Nov. 25th and it simply was spectacular. The around town info hunt was a big hit. Lots of folks were coming through the gallery with game cards in their hands seeking the answer to our question.
Many thanks to those of you who attended and to the artists who pitched in and helped make the event such a success.
We're looking forward to many more years of culture in art here in Downtown Jackson, TN.
Happiness,

It's almost here...

Wow! I can't believe a few more hours and Thanksgiving 2005 is over! Where did that go?
Needless to say, we're gearing up for our "Art-i-versary" Celebration in honor of our one year anniversary tomorrow. Final preparations are nearly complete. Still have a lot of stuff to get ready at the gallery in the morning tomorrow...but it'll all get done before tomorrow evenings kick-off at 7:00pm.
The game cards are complete for the downtown-wide "info hunt", the musicians have been hired (Claire & Audrey Hazlehurst-violin duet inside & Dr. Sax playing live saxophone outside) and ought to be a real hit...I'm excited to hear live music all around.
We've added a new artist yesterday (Georgann Culp, a stain-glass artists) who ought to be a neat addition to what the West Tennessee art we have to offer.
So...we'll see what tomorrow holds. I enjoyed the day "off" today and a break from preparations...but am ready to get started bright and early in the morning in making final preparations for a great anniversary celebration.
Happiness,
Rachel
Oh, and I saw we were listed as the "only thing to do" on November 25th in the Jackson Sun's Nov-Dec calendar of events newspaper listing today. :-) Thank you Jackson Sun!

"Art-i-versary" Nov 25th...

Well, we're gearing up for the big one year anniversary party on Friday, Nov. 25th. I'm holding my fingers crossed that the Thanksgiving holiday doesn't keep people away...but that it does the opposite and folks will bring their visiting family and friends. A great way to get out of the house and enjoy the arts by the way!
Many of our artists will be present, we're having 2 sisters (Thank you Hazelhursts) play the violin inside and we're going to have saxaphone outside on the street brought to you by Dr. Sax. The live music will be awesome! The food will be outstanding too! Our one year "Art-i-versary" celebration is looking like it will be really neat and a lot of fun!
Also going on at the same time is this month's "Fabulous Friday" event downtown. Downtown businesses will also be open from 7-9p, and we'll be having an around-town info hunt. THAT's going to be fun too! We'll be handing out the questionaires at the Dickson Gallery. For more information go to www.dicksongallery.com/events.htm
Lots going on that's for sure!
Happiness,
Rachel

Above the Fold...Jackson Sun Coverage

If you're from Jackson, then you likely saw it. The Dickson Gallery got coverage smack-dab on the front page of the Jackson Sun on Monday, November 7th. I'll be scanning the article and placing a link on the gallery website "media page" soon.
Things really are "buzzing" downtown! Gallery traffic has really picked up in the past few months...and the Holidays are just around the corner!
Happiness,
