Expressions Gallery and Gift Shop: July Hot Items

Sherry Blatner

The Gallery is stocked with red/white/blue items just in time for your Fourth of July celebrations. Check the showcase windows outside of the Gallery entrance—they’re dazzling!

Other showstoppers are fantastic gourd items fresh from the imagination of your friends and neighbors. Where else but the Expressions Gallery can you find such an incredible array of gourds turned into art? It’s another hot OMG month in the Creek. Forgot the slang already? OMG = Oh My Gourd!

Any newborns in your family? Come on down and look at the adorable baby items always stocked in the Gallery. And for all occasions browse through the handmade cards perfect for your needs.

Staying indoors in the heat? Select a book or two by a PC author. You might want to start a new book club this summer—reading books by truly local authors! There are so many authors to choose from. Of course, you’ll want a unique bookmark to mark your place. No need to speed read this summer.

Don’t forget your Gallery exercise program, squats to review items on low shelves and stretches to reach for items up high. Then, lap the Creative Arts Center to check out the display windows throughout the building, highlighting the work of the glass artisans, wood carvers, painters, fabric artists, and ceramic crafters. It’s the perfect summer workout—plan for a weekly venture to the Gallery and bring some friends along for the fun!
