Yellow Music Filled the Sky

These vibrant colors quickly caught my attention, and I see the judge like them too!
"Yellow Music Filled the Sky," an opaque painting by Cam Walker, won Best in Category at the Selma Art Guild's 2008 Summer Show. A preview art walk and reception were held Friday evening at the gallery on Selma Avenue. (The table of food was a work of art itself!) Two other galleries, The Frame Shoppe and Real Estate Gallery, joined the art tour.

Larry Manning of The Magic Kiln Pottery in Pace, Fla., judged the show. Categories included Opaque, Transparent, Photography, Mixed Media, Three Dimensional and Works on Paper.

The Selma Art Guild displays works of Selma and other Black Belt artists in a turn-of-the-century cottage in Old Towne.

Art Walk

This pretty fish is looking to swim her way into the hearts of art enthusiasts. She is among paintings by Candice Ward at The Frame Shoppe and will be featured in Selma's First Art Walk on Friday, August 1.

The walk is sponsored by local art galleries and frame shops. They will be open for refreshments and viewing from 4 til 8 p.m. Galleries include the Selma Art Guild, which is having a preview reception in advance of its summer juried art show.

Along with the fish, Candice has several other ocean-themed paintings on display.

The Frame Shoppe is located on Water Avenue adjacent to the St. James Hotel. The Selma Art Guild is at 508 Selma Ave.
