We are so excited about our booth at the 4th Annual Delta Visual Art Show this weekend in downtown Newport. We will feature our fine art line of photography at the show, with some new photographic mediums this year. If you haven’t seen our photographic prints on metal or acrylic – come out this weekend. Some original Greyhound and St. Louis Cardinal art will be featured.

Over 100 artists will be participating and there is something for everyone. Plan to spend the day in downtown Newport, enjoying the hisotrical architecture, arts from the Delta, and taking in a demonstration or workshop. This is the place to be Saturday from 10 – 6. See you downtown! ~ Cheryl and Nicole

It’s that time of year again! Time for the Designer’s Choice Fashion Preview! I have to admit this is one of our favorite events of the year.

We are so excited to have an exhibit at the 3rd Annual Delta Visual Art Show in downtown Newport this coming weekend. We are both so passionate about photography. This art show lets us exhibit some of our personal projects. It’s very different from what you might be accustomed to seeing from us, since we typically blog about our wedding adventures, family or senior sessions. Our fine art photography is really about what inspires us, how we define art, and our personal projects. We have several collections, as well as some common themes that we each pursue. There is a little bit of something for everyone in our exhibit.

If you have been looking for just the right piece of art to decorate your home or office, come and browse through our fine art collection this Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Newport Business Resource Building. Here is the official press release for the event:

Newport – This is the weekend to see your favorite artists right here in Newport, Arkansas! Over 70 artists will be bringing their work to Newport and having it on display just for you! Come browse, look and even purchase that perfect piece of art for your home. Have lunch on-site at MJ’s Art Cafe or visit one of the other great restaurants in town. You can make a day of it and have a blast right here in downtown Newport.

This year we’ve expanded to three locations – The Iron Mountain Train Depot, the Newport Business Resource Center and the Old Post Office, all in downtown Newport. Wander back and forth between the buildings and experience the artistic talent of our area.

So come out and support the arts right here in Newport! You can also support the arts by inviting your friends through Facebook.
