At Take 121 Art Gallery, we are presently maintaining a silent auction to benefit the wonderful non-profit, Saddle Up! which provides recreational horse therapy for challenged children between the ages of 4 through 18. As many of you may know, we had the opening photo exhibit for Maggie Moore and Kris Kristoffersen on March 1st. The photo exhibit was very successful! We first opened the silent auction during the opening show, Double Take of the Great American Horse. This silent auction will run through April 18 so that patrons may continue to either come by the gallery or call our gallery at (615) 244-4642 to place their bid. Pictures of the works will be added to this blog by Tuesday, March 25. One hundred percent (100%) of the bids from the auction will go to Saddle Up! in order to benefit their cause.
Maggie Moore donated one (1) photograph and one (1) portraiture sitting where she will come out and perform a photo shoot of you or someone you choose with their horse or as prefered. In like manner, Kris has donated a photo of a steeplechase scene as well as a portrait photo of a beautiful lily from his select collection. Again, ALL proceeds will benefit Saddle Up! Please tell your friends and family about this opportunity. The weather is turning Springlike very quickly. Let's benefit Saddle Up! as their Summer season comes up. This is their busiest time of year, no kidding! They've got a very long waiting list of other children who'd like to participate. The only glitch is, they need funds to provide more horses, feed, tack, etc. in order to accommodate the growing demand.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Saddle Up! offers very unique programs that can make an extraordinary difference in the life of a challenged child as well as that child's family. Just go to www.saddleupnashville.org where you'll find out just what a great organization this is. You can also send donations directly to them. We'd appreciate your letting them know that you responded due to this Take 121 Art Gallery Blog site. They're always needing volunteers so if you love horses and helping people, especially children then contact Saddle Up! today.
Another great piece of information about Take 121 Arts is our After Work Get-Together. The way it works is simple. Monday through Friday, between the hours of 3pm and 9pm, slate any two hour slot, invite 10 to 30 of your guests to meet you at our gallery and we'll provide the wine and cheese and crackers FREE!!!. This gives you the opportunity to host an impromptu cocktail party at a beautiful art gallery. Use this for a wedding shower, a baby shower, a CD release party, a network party (realtors, marketing, clients, customers) or just a gathering. It's a great way for people to enjoy the downtown area and get to know all about our gallery, our frame shop, our variety of artists as well as the fact that we rent our 5000sf venue for parties of up to 200 people. Just give us a call to find out if this is something you'd like to take advantage of.
We are presently preparing for Spring inventory when we will discontinue some artists' pieces in order to take on some new artwork. This is a very good time to check us out if you've been wanting to add some decor to your home or office, you'd like to own original artwork and you'd like to take advantage of our SALE starting NOW!!! We're offering from 20% up to 50% off of more than half of our inventory! Come down and take advantage of this - you can do it!!! Don't believe you have to be a designer or a decorator in order to appreciate art for your home. Just pick out what you like - it's really that simple!!
We rep over 250 local, national and international artists. The works might be jewelry, pottery, glassware, metal works, furniture, mixed media, oil paintings, watercolors, photo works, leather works, handmade greeting cards, etc. Also, there is something for every taste and every price point. We have many pieces that are ready immediately for display. Then, we also have our custom frame shop where we can update your art, fix or repair your framing or provide new framing as well as matting. Plus, we are known locally and by decorators and designers for our artistic framing. All of this not to impress you, but rather to impress upon you that it would be quite practical to make our gallery a regular shopping spot for your life style needs.
Alright, this is Nanette Young, PR/Mktg Director here at Take 121 Arts, reminding you to support the arts! They're vital to any community's economy and intellectual health. You provide gainful employment to people of skill, people who design, craft, build and work to inspire people's spirits. That is a good thing, wouldn't you think?
