Lexington Gallery Hop

For two years now I have been trying to attend a gallery hop in Lexington. There was always a reason why it never worked out though. Work, other plans, no one to go with, etc. Last night things finally came together and it was a great night.

I had two of my best friends go with me, Rachel and Heather. We got started a little late, but we still were able to make it to several stops. It was perfect fall weather in the high 60's and a warm sun. Love it!




There was this pretty courtyard garden at this Catherdral.



It had wonderful stain glass throughout too.



Rachel is so happy to see the art, can't you tell!





This artist Stacy had wonderful glass pieces. Rachel looks like she has seen a ghost, this building does have ghost tours....



This place also had a wonderful garden. We sat there for a bit having snacks and wine.






I finally handed the camera off to get pictures of me in the mix.




This painting is so amazing of the material. There is very fine black lines when you get close. Also it appears to have a smooth glassy texture, not paint. It was interesting trying to figure out how it was made.


I don't know what Heather thinks of this piece or not. I liked it though.



Gallery Hop ending with the sun setting in downtown Lexington. Next one is in November. I think we might be going back to that one. The weather won't be as nice I bet though.

Lexington Gallery Hop


This friday, April 16, Lexington will be having their second Gallery Hop of the year. It is best described as on their website :

Now into its second decade, Lexington's Downtown Gallery Hop continues to be one of the city's most entertaining attractions. Five evenings a year, the connoisseurs, the collectors and the curious enjoy open house hospitality at dozens of galleries, museums, artists' studios, shops and restaurants throughout the downtown area. Downtown Gallery Hop was organized to highlight the work of central Kentucky's outstanding visual artists and to encourage people to acquire original works of art.

Since last fall I have been wanting to attend this. I've been to a gallery opening night and volunteered during an art auction in Lexington. I loved the environment. I know I would enjoy something like this, but doing this all on my own doesn't seem appealing. I went to the gallery opening night alone, it was fun, but I know I would have stayed longer if I had company. I don't want just any person to go but someone I know that will enjoy the night as much as I will.

If you would like to check this out more on your own, please check out their website. It contains details about the nights, a hop map, how to volunteer, and how to apply to be part of the hop. http://www.galleryhop2010.com/
