Two exhibits will kick off the holiday season at the Art Market Gallery. Sponsored by Clayton Bank, recent works by the gallery’s featured artists for November, acrylic painter George Rothery and functional artist Kathy Lovelace, both of Knoxville, will be on display, as well as a show of works by new members who were juried into the gallery during 2014.

An opening reception for these exhibitions will be held from 5:30 to 9 p.m., Nov. 7, during Downtown Knoxville’s monthly First Friday Art Walk, with complimentary refreshments and jazz and blues from the 1920s, ‘30s and ‘40s performed by Melanie and the Meltones.

George A. Rothery Jr. is known for his marine art. The University of Tennessee graduate owned galleries in Knoxville from 1958 to 1980, representing well known artists and selling some of his own small oils. Later he studied with Walter Hollis Stevens and, now, as a professional artist, he concentrates on acrylics and oils. He especially enjoys researching sea lore so that he can combine his keen interest in history with his love of art. Rothery’s paintings are in public and private collections coast to coast, and he belongs to Salmagundi Club (New York City), American Society of Marine Painters, and Tennessee Artists Association, among others. His website is www.Georgerothery.com.

Kathy Lovelace, who was born into an Air Force family, has drawn and made things with her hands since childhood. The longtime banker-turned-artist began her new career by creating an acrylic painting of a small-mouth bass to give to her husband, an avid fly-fisherman. She now specializes in the brook, brown and rainbow trout found in streams of the Great Smoky Mountains. Lovelace describes her work as “functional art” since her paintings are depicted on small furniture and home accessories which then are protected with multiple coats of polycrylic in order to make them safe to use without fear of damage. Her website is, fittingly, www.troutpainter.com.

Members recently juried in to the Art Market Gallery are: Diane Aldrich (Gatlinburg) 2D mixed media; Mary Saylor (Knoxville) papier-mache sculpture; Ron Smith (Dandridge) handmade pens; Lynda Best (Tellico Plains), Dede Christopher (Maryville), Inna Nasonova (Lenoir City), Chriss Hardy, Kate McCullough, and Bradford W. Smith (all of Knoxville), painting.

Owned and operated by 62 professional regional artists, the Art Market Gallery, at 422 South Gay St., is a few doors from Mast General Store and next to Downtown Grill & Brewery. Hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday; 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday; 1 to 5 p.m., Sunday. The gallery is wheelchair accessible, and parking in nearby public garages and on the street is free on weekends and after 6 p.m. weekdays. For more information, call 865-525-5265, or visit artmarketgallery.net, or facebook.com/Art.Market.Gallery.
