Art D’Vine Kicks Off Springtime Events in Downtown Bristol

The Downtown Bristol galleries are again joining forces to present Art D’Vine, an evening stroll on Friday, March 8, 6–9p.m., that offers patrons the chance to gain after-hours access to merchants, sample domestic and international wines, and review a range of works from artists across the region.

“Art D’Vine is the premier way to experience the revitalization of the downtown and see what’s happening among area artists,” said Sylvia Musgrove of Kil’n Time. “There’s a wonderful collaborative spirit among the galleries and it’s the top way in the Tri-Cities to see a number of works at one time.”

As in the previous gallery hops, participants are invited to stroll around Historic Downtown Bristol, stopping at Kil’n Time, Benjamin Walls Gallery, CityMug, 606 State Street Gallery, One of a Kind Gallery, blowfish emporium, One Night Stand Gallery, Pretty Girl Station, and Hatching Perspective Gallery. Each gallery will feature a different wine varietal for sampling.

The gallery owners will have a spring in their step as they throw their doors open for a great night of fine art and fine wine. Ben Walls will be showing a new release from coastal Florida, and this Art D’Vine will also be the last night to take advantage of his Tiger Trip promotional pricing. Ceramic artist Aleta Chandler of Almost Aleta Studios will be demonstrating wheel-thrown pottery at Kil'n Time, and she will also have some of her finished works on display. Three new regional artists will be featured at blowfish emporium, which will also be hosting a surprise art improvisational project where everyone can participate! One of a Kind Gallery will have a large group of their artists, craftsmen, and authors available for conversation, photos, and signings – a great chance to purchase a piece of art and meet and talk with the artist who created it. Also, they are introducing Susan Ratliff Ball, a Bristol, Virginia, artist and her handmade diaper bags, totes, and baby products with an introductory price of 20% off. Two artists will be featured at 606 State Street Gallery: Bruce Cole, a photographer specializing in fine art nature images, and Ken Simmelink, a painter of animals and landscapes. With the Hatching Perspective Gallery, gallery hoppers get the chance to explore the creativity of art students in the Bristol, Virginia, school system. The One Night Stand Gallery, featuring the art of King College students, will be held at the Believe in Bristol office located at 36 Moore Street. There will also be a new participant joining Art D’Vine: Pretty Girl Station, a ladies’ boutique opening in Downtown Bristol, will be hosting an exhibition of paintings by artist Pat Jessee.

As always, this event is free to the public, though there is a suggested one-time donation of $5 with the proceeds supporting the work of the Arts and Entertainment District of Historic Downtown Bristol, TN-VA. In 2013, there will be three additional Art D’Vines: June 14, September 13, and December 13.

Street Talk - What's happening now

• stararif46 comment on Do You Want to Visit Beautiful Bagan, Myanmar? - 6 days ago

  Do You Want to Visit Beautiful Bagan, Myanmar? Bagan, located in the central region of Myanmar, is home to the largest number of Buddhist temples, stupas, ruins and pagodas in the world. There are many reasons that the city makes a lasting impression on visitors, including the buildings which look romantic after the process of aging, the spire-fringed skyline, exotic cotton trees and horse drawn carriages that lazily carry tourists through the city. The city of Bagan offers a large number of temples for tourists to visit. Some of the most popular ones that are recommended by most tourists, tour guides and tourist maps, although large in number, still don't cover even half of the large collection. Bagan is a city that can be visited any time of the year because of its pleasant weather and no particular rainy season. It is a city that most would not want to miss with beautiful sunsets; beautiful local art including bamboo works and lacquer work and day trips to places like Mount Popa where tourists can visit a monastery that is built on top of a mountain.
  
  Some of them include Ananda Temple, which was built by Kyan-zit-tha, the third king and is considered the holiest temple in the city, Shwesandaw Temple, also known as the sunset temple as tourists especially gather during the evening to watch a spectacular sunset, Shwe Zigon Temple, which is a prototype monument built in the style of Myanmar, Thatbyinnyu Temple, which is the tallest pagoda that was built in the twelfth century, Shwegugyi Temple, a temple that has survived over the ages and stayed the most intact on the site, Manuhar Pagoda, a temple with a story about a king who poured all his emotions into the construction of the temple and Gawdaw Palin Temple, which is constructed by fusing the styles of Myanmarese and Indian. Tourists who still have the energy after visiting the various temples, pagodas and stupas in Bagan can also visit Bagan Archeological Museum, which may be ugly in appearance because of the mixture of the new and old architectural styles, but houses a large number of portable finds from the temples.
