Gulfport’s DRV Gallery welcomes acclaimed regional and national artists this March 21st at The Gilded Guitar by Rick Schettino with music by Front Porch Picnic. The event runs from 5:30–8:30 p.m. and highlights elite talent in visual and performance art.
Rick Schettino has led a life characterized by his passion for music and the allure of the open road. As a solo singer/songwriter and a professional free spirit, Rick has spent the past 25 years traveling across North America to perform live while also working remotely as a freelance art director. Now settled on the Gulf Coast, he uses his decades of creative experience to explore fine art for luxury interiors. Combining his love for guitars with his deep understanding of design, Schettino meticulously transforms both new and rescued stringed instruments into unique pieces of art—what he refers to as wall jewelry.” These elaborate sculptures blend found objects with carefully considered design.
Front Porch Picnic offers a selection of 20th-century hits performed in an acoustic style with strong vocal harmonies. The band features Paul Wilborn, the Executive Director of the Palladium Theater, along with Robin Sibucao, Sher Sibucao, and the award-winning actress Eugenie Bondurant on vocals. Bondurant is a nationally acclaimed actress known for her roles in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Werewolf, and Conjuring 3.
DRV Gallery is located at 5401 Gulfport Boulevard S in Gulfport, Florida. For more information, visit the gallery’s online home at www.drvgallery.com and follow its social media @drvgallery on Facebook and @drvgallery22 on Instagram.
