Artists Shirley, Janice and Pam were very gratified by the turn-out. The show is a wonderful exposition of the multiple talents of these three fine artists. On display are oils, acrylics, pastels, charcoal drawings, and ceramics. Please make it an priority to come see the show, now through October 12, Tuesdays through Saturdays, 12 to 4 pm.
Food was provided by board members, volunteers, and by Georgetown’s new “Two Twenty-Two” restaurant, owned and operated by our own Spence Johnson. What a gorgeous display, almost too pretty to eat, but we managed! Please visit the Arts & Cultural Center and celebrate the arts. It’s there for you.

Pamela Clegg is a Juried/Exhibiting Member of the KY Guild of Artists and Craftsmen in both pastel and pencil and a current board member of the KGAC. Says Pamela “my art has led me to a variety of subjects that touch my heart, and those are the themes of my paintings. Each day is an opportunity to create art with joy and enthusiasm, and to share those feelings with others”.
Janice has worked in a variety of mediums but says “my outstanding favorite remains acrylic painting, and my newest passion, clay”. She says: “I explore painting in the same manner that I explore the woods, looking at what nature offers in the way of texture and color and variety” and “I just feel good when I’ve captured some bit of the beauty of nature and someone looks at what I’ve done and walks away feeling like the world is as it should be”.
Among Shirley’s artwork are celtic designs discovered while traveling in Ireland and Scotland. Shirley comments: “the artwork and detail so impressed me that I made rubbings of many floor tiles in St. Patrick Cathedral and Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin and of tombstones in Edinburgh. Each piece gives me insight to the beauty and craftsmanship of the ones who created this art hundreds of years ago”.
