New Creative Art School Opens

February 20, 2008

Visual Expressions, a Gamut Control affiliate store, has expanded their gallery facility to include a school. Originally opened in 2004, to showcase the artwork of Robin Ingle, this 3,000 sq. ft. gallery has expanded to include a 5,000 sq. ft. art school.

Bill Ingle original opened the gallery for his wife, Robin’s original works. This quickly blossomed in to a custom frame, repair and art advisor operation in addition to the gallery. “Everyone who came in asked questions about their work, framing and general ‘how-to’ about the art world” says Bill. “Having Robin, a professional artist, here to talk with the customers was very helpful. What other art gallery/store could boast that service?” The inevitable follow up questions from their customers was “Are you considering teaching art?”

Along comes Phase II, which has just been completed, the aforementioned expansion and school. The school is not just featuring classes in painting, it is a full blown creative arts center. There are classes in sculpture, pottery, theater, glass works, writing and of course drawing and painting. The school is also offering workshops with nationally know artists.

The next phase is to turn the original gallery in to an artist co-op to showcase emerging artists. Bill has opened the gallery walls to everyone for the reasonable prices of $3.00 per sq. ft. plus 18% commission for each work sold.

“Making space available at reasonable prices will help the emerging artists show their works and provide a moderately priced marketplace for local patrons to support the artists” notes Bill.
