First Great Art Show at The Great Hall and Conference Center
The works of local artist Michelle East will be on display at The Great Hall and Conference Center, 1900 South Germantown Road, beginning Thursday, September 23. Her work will be unveiled during a special reception from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
“We are pleased to bring The Great Hall and Conference Center’s First Great Art Show to the community,” said Chuck Porter, manager. “East’s art and photos will be for sale, with 20 percent of proceeds supporting the work of the Germantown Arts Alliance. “We encourage residents to drop in, view her amazing art and see what The Great Hall and Conference Center has to offer.”
East’s work, “Southern Elegance, Paintings and Photography,” will be on display for about one year. East, a Germantown resident, is an award-winning photographer, artist, business owner and mother of three who has been involved in art for most of her life. Her particular passion is creating fine art through photography, oil painting or a combination of the two. She works in many mediums including photography, oil, acrylic and digital art. Her work often features a fusion of mediums, creating unique and distinctive art.
East is an active participant in community service and often donates her work to many charitable causes. Her work hangs in private collections across the country and she has been featured in many local and national publications. In 2010, East’s work was chosen for inclusion in the collection at the new Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis.
Till next time,
