2024 Highlights at Gallery 610: A Year of Artistic Vibrance
Located inside Village Antiques & Art, Gallery 610 has been a vibrant space for artists and art lovers alike. In 2024, the gallery flourished with eight exhibitions, exciting artist demonstrations, receptions, and a host of captivating events that celebrated the creativity of our community.
A Year of Dynamic Exhibitions
The gallery showcased a diverse range of talent, with four solo exhibitions highlighting the unique voices of photographer Jesse Thornton, painters Larry Sumpter and Sydney Stewart, and printmaker Joe Cox. Themed group exhibits brought additional depth and variety, including: Planet Waves – Earthlings, Age of Aquarius, Autumn Winds, and Winter Solstice.
In total, Gallery 610 exhibited works by more than 20 artists and featured juried consignment pieces by local creators, making it a truly inclusive platform for artistic expression.
Makers Fairs: Supporting Regional Artists
In partnership with Village Antiques & Art, Gallery 610 contributed to the success of the 2024 Makers Fairs. These Open Air Pop-Up events offered a central venue for regional artists to showcase their fine art, artisan wares, and even performing arts. Local food vendors added a delicious touch, while live music and art demonstrations enriched the atmosphere.
Held monthly from May through October, each Makers Fair saw between 12 and 20 artist booths and drew a growing number of attendees, reflecting strong community support and increased artist participation. Highlights included the October Psychic Faire and unique themed events like Far-Out Fest. These fairs not only created a thriving network of local artists but also helped many build a loyal following for their creations.
In 2025, the Makers Fairs will continue on the third Saturday of each month with exciting themes:
May 17: 10 AM – 4 PM
July 19: Night Market (4 PM – 9 PM)
August 16: Far-Out Fest (10 AM – 5 PM)
October 18: From Rags to Riches (10 AM – 4 PM)
