“There’s the Buffalo!”
We are delighted to present our 2024 exhibit entitled “There’s the Buffalo!” The exhibit displays a gallery of artistic interpretations of Floyd County’s most noteworthy geological feature, Buffalo Mountain, as depicted in various media by local artists.
Among the media types are quilts, paintings, postcards, encaustics, felted wool, glass, Giclee prints, and others. Artists who contributed to this exhibit include Cathy Renee Banks, William Bell, Bill Booz, Peggy Burgin, Mark Cox, Alison Hatter, Sean Hatter, Kimberly Ingram, Ruth Lefko, Clara Martin, Debbie McAlexander, Jeannie Harman O’Neill, Catherine Pauley, Joel Pratt, JK Phillips Sewell, Starroot, Lisa Thompson, Jenny Traynham, Bronwen Valentine, Roger Vest, and Sarah Hasty Williams.
The exhibit opened on April 19, 2024 as part of Floyd County’s observation of Earth Day. It will remain open until the end of the year. When you visit the Gallery, be sure to peruse the Comment Sheet on which the artists have described their responses to The Buffalo.
Some of the items in the exhibit are for sale; the back page of the Comment Sheet is a Price List of those items. Please note that any pieces purchased are to be left at the Old Church Gallery until the exhibit closes in December 2024.
The Old Church Gallery offers great thanks and appreciation to the artists of our community who have shared their work with us so generously!
