FYI,

 

I am sure that you already know of this Gallery.  But just in case I sent it anyway.

Mary, you gotta visit this art gallery, owned by Robert C. Scott, M.D. and Lamont Nickens-both brothers.  They contribute a percentage of their sales to an AIDS clinic in Zimbabwe that Dr. Scott is heavily involved with.  Their prices are reasonable, and they buy directly from the Artists in Zimbabwe.  It is called Stoneridge Gallery and shares space with Samuel's Gallery.  They are located in a great looking building that was formerly an architects business.  It has two floors, and it is an excellent venue for showing art; they have also rented space to non profits for fund raisers.

 

The address of the gallery is: 424 2nd Street, across from Q's Joint (which is part of Everett and Jones), and their phone number is: 444-7466.  Gloria and I went there yesterday, at Reygan's (our daughter) insistence, and ended up purchasing a sculpture, made of Springstone.  I think Reygan's real motive was to get us to purchase a painting for her-we'll see.

 

The gallery's hours are Mon.,Tues.,Weds., by appointment only, and Thurs., Fri., Sat., Sun. from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm.  Please visit and spread the word,
