It burned down three years ago, but the community wants to keep the arts alive by building a new home for the Barn Swallow Theatre.

Phil Gleissner
Photographer
His work is vibrant, colorful and extremely close up. Phil’s focal body of picturesque work is of flowers. He likes to shoot them at angles that most people might not think of when viewing a flower up close and personal. Phil suggests if you want to take up photography, do your research and always be open to the opinions of your peers.

John Searles
Artist
Dimensional metal art wall sculptures made from copper and aluminum are only one of the many creations John likes to create when working with metal and heat. His work is unique and draws your eye to different aspects of each piece. John’s sculptures are amazing to see up close, so stop by the Jill Underhill Gallery on the Red Arrow Highway.

Ramiro Rodriguez
Artist
His heritage and family are strong influences in Ramiro’s work. He uses a technique of woodcut prints to create some of his artwork, which gives the pieces a diverse look. Millions, with the help of the multi-platinum selling musical group Tool, have seen Ramiro’s work. Their use of several of his images for promotional material has introduced his work to many fans around the world. See if for yourself at the link below.
