The Register-Herald will host an open house on Monday, Oct. 28, from 4:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. at 801 N. Kanawha St., in Beckley.
Guests are invited to stop by, view the latest selection of artwork from regional artists, meet the creators, and enjoy light refreshments.
This event, organized by Gary Vaughan, features a rotating exhibit of local art.
“We’re always excited to see the community engage with the artists and their work,” said Vaughan. “Each exhibit offers something new and unique, and this Halloween-themed open house is a great way to bring people together in a fun and casual setting.”
Vaughan, in addition to organizing the event, will also showcase some of his own pieces in the exhibit.
Children are encouraged to come in costume for trick-or-treating, and adults are welcome to participate in the fun as well.
The exhibit will feature the following artists:
• Tim Armentrout, a multidisciplinary artist from Beckley, whose work spans poetry, performance and visual arts. A juried artisan at Tamarack, Armentrout’s recent exhibits include shows at Beckley Art Center, Charleston’s Artwalk and Richwood’s Bloomfield Gallery. His work is known for its diverse mediums and innovative approach.
• Julie Bennett, a Beckley-based artist, focuses on colored pencil portraiture, with her work displayed in Dollywood and throughout local businesses. Bennett recently expanded into acrylic painting and launched her own painting party business, Painting With A Passion, hosting regular events at Beckley’s Logan’s Roadhouse and Texas Steakhouse.
• Jamal “Bubbles” Hoskins, a multimedia artist from Glen White, whose work ranges from pen-and-ink realism to oversized abstract portraits. His pieces are known for their bold expression and dynamic composition.
• Teresa Pittman, a West Virginia native who recently returned to Beckley, has been recognized in competitions and fundraising events. Working primarily in graphite, watercolor, and acrylic, Pittman also engages in graphic design projects and invites inquiries for commissions.
The exhibit will remain on display through the end of November, and the public can view the artwork Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Artwork will be available for purchase, offering an excellent opportunity to support local artists.
“We’re proud to offer a space for local artists to share their work with the community,” said Terri Hale, publisher of The Register-Herald. “It’s wonderful to see how much talent we have here in West Virginia, and this open house is a great way to connect people with that creativity.”
