CELEBRATING 200 YEARS
GASLIGHT ART COLONY BICENTENNIAL SHOW
As you probably know, Clark County, Illinois is celebrating 200 years as a county in 2019! The Gaslight Art Colony in Marshall will celebrate 10 years! As part of their anniversary year, the Gaslight Art Colony is working with the Bicentennial Committee to showcase art work that highlights the Past, Present and Future of Clark County.
Falling on the Fall Festival weekend this year, there will be the opportunity for many to visit the Colony. All member work will be showcased beginning September 21 with an Opening at the Gaslight Art Colony, and will be on display until mid-October.
Colony members are encouraged to enter, up to three items, that reflect the past, present or future of Clark County. (Other items will not be excluded from this show). Art work could include anything from the Darwin Ferry to the oilfields near Casey, from the “Big Things” to the Clark County Courthouse to main street Martinsville.
The Gaslight Art Colony has been hosting two members show a year for the past 10 years. Their diversity of talent and art mediums is always impressive and this year will be no exception! You will not want to miss this show! For more information or to enter, contact the Gaslight Art Colony at gaslightartcolony@gmail.com or 217-293-1050.
