Gulfport’s DRV Gallery creative calendar for November and December includes a solo exhibition by a multiple-award-winning fiber artist, free live concerts, and a leading role in the town’s 8th Annual Gulfport Artist Studio Tour.
On Friday, November 1st from 5:30-8:30 PM, the gallery will reveal a collection of portraits by decorated fiber artist Dawn Waters at Face Value, a solo exhibit that will run through November 16th. The gallery’s Evening at the Gallery live music series will serve as musical accompaniment to the show, with multi-instrumentalist Jim Gilmour welcoming acclaimed musician Rebbeca Zapen-Douglass back to DRV Gallery.
The evening is designed as a free, uplifting gathering for the community and will serve as a fundraiser for local efforts by the Red Cross, with both Waters and the gallery donating proceeds from the event to the charity.
On Saturday, November 16th from 1-2:30 PM, DRV Gallery will host its first creative workshop of the season at Expert Series: Impressionism the Easy Way with Jack Providenti. Jack is a multi-award-winning artist and will provide an in-depth demonstration on how to create a dramatic, light-filled impressionistic landscape or seascape painting, indoors or outdoors, without having to draw. Interested parties are invited to register for the event at https://tinyurl.com/drvimpressionismworkshop.
DRV Gallery will serve as stop eight of nine on the Eighth Annual ArtJones Gulfport Artist Studio Tour on Saturday, December 7th and Sunday, December 8th. The event has become one of the region’s most anticipated holiday season art shows, and this year’s event features 22 professional artists. During this two-day event, DRV Gallery will showcase works by owner Deserie Valloreo and painters representing three distinct styles: Amy Howell, Paula Roy, and Jack Providenti.
