Thursay, June 4th, 2009, Mark your calendar for a new Fine Art Gallery opening in Ogden, Utah. Tami, owner of Artists &
HeirloomsWilkerson Fine Art were both looking
for a partner to elevate spaces through art and low and behold each found what
they were looking for! “I had wanted to expand our gallery into
Ogden and the space that Artists & Heirlooms had available was
perfect,” said Kris Wilkerson.
Tami
Crowley, owner of Artists & Heirlooms and Kris Wilkerson, owner of
Wilkerson Fine Art have joined forces to create the Crowley Wilkerson Fine Art
Galleries, Partners in Elevated Spaces. “At Artists &
Heirlooms, we had been looking to make some changes in the gallery with a
desire to create a space that rivals galleries in Salt Lake City and Park City.
I first approached Kris for some consulting with the idea of partnering with us
in some larger shows. We really clicked with our
ideas and passions and a long term partnership emerged. This partnership feels
natural and should benefit the artists as well as the people of Ogden as we
continue our fast growing pace”, shared Tami Crowley.
The
Upper Galleries will be called Elevated Spaces because the partners have joined
forces to uplift and enrich lives through the elevated space created by the
art. The top floor will be group shows and the 2nd floor will be
featured artists or themed exhibits.
The
Grand Opening of the Crowley Wilkerson Fine Art Galleries will be Thursday,
June 4th from 4 – 7PM in the upper galleries of Artists &
Heirlooms, 115 Historic 25th St. in Ogden, Utah 84401. A ribbon cutting
ceremony will take place at 5PM that evening.
June’s
featured artist is Eric Zschiesche of
Ogden. Eric is one of Utah’s most expressive plein air  painters
using color and
movement to portray scenes and images masterfully. Eric paints in a wide range
of styles, mediums and topics such
as floral and figurative in acrylic and oils, and his work ranges from
representational to impressionistic, to abstract.
Of
Special Note:
Eric is the featured artist at this year’s 6th Annual Ogden
Arts Festival, picked by the festival committee during last year's plein air eompetition for his portrayal of a beautiful cityscape reminiscent of downtown Ogden.
