Murfreesboro’s Church Street Gallery Launches “ArtTalks” Conversation Event Series Feb 23, 2021 at 06:40 am by WGNS
MURFREESBORO For the proprietors of downtown Murfreesboro’s Church Street Gallery (CSG), the choice of what artwork will adorn their space isn’t about matching colors and textures with a particular decor. They feel that art is a conversation starter that can and should prompt serious discussions.
That’s why owners Maredith Clayton Metier, Mary Miller Veazie, and Eric Snyder are launching the “ArtTalks” Conversation event series for CSG. ArtTalks will be part of the ongoing event programming for the gallery. The plan is to pair a lineup of guest artists and speakers for a moderated Q&A discussion. Topics will include the aesthetic of the art, its medium, the technique employed, creative inspiration, social impacts of art on the region, and other questions of note for creators and art admirers.
