The Flying Oglanders: A Family of Fine Artists

Nashvillians are invited to view the new contemporary works of the Oglander family at a public reception opening 6 pm to 9 pm, Saturday May 3 through Friday, June 27 at Take 121 Art Gallery.

The Oglanders are a talented and unique family made up of Gary, the patriarch, Eva-Marie Pappas, Eric and Daniel. The all star presence of the father, Gary, features his contemporary works in acrylic shown in the Tennessee State Museum as well as three of his works recently purchased by Robert Frist for the lobby of his company, Healthstream; Eva-Marie Pappas, the mother, is known for her imaginative, one-of-a-kind pottery, from jewelry boxes to vases to collectible dish ware; Daniel, one of the sons, creates mixed media works that define the charm and wit of today's gen-20s; and Eric, Daniel's brother, also in the Tennessee State Museum, has a timeless simplicity that breaks barriers appealing to almost every audience, blending with every genre.

We happily thank our wonderful sponsors: Encore!, our lead sponsor; West Meade Wine & Liquor Mart, hosting a wine tasting; Red Bull, providing both regular and sugar-free beverages; Bongo Java, providing coffees; and Past Perfect, providing appetizers. Also live music will be performed by local musicians and friends of the Oglanders. Children are welcome with supervising adult.
