Chris Lee, director of the Phil Gainer Community Center, said, “We are very excited about this event. This region is rich in art and antiques heritage, and I feel this event will attract folks to our beautiful town. The purpose of the Phil Gainer Community Center is to serve the community. This partnership with The Arts Center truly exemplifies our mission.”
“Serving the community is also a large part of our mission,” said Judy Van Gundy, president of the Board of Directors at The Arts Center. “When the old National Guard Armory became a community center, we realized the potential to expand our offerings to the community, the greater region, the state, and even bordering states. This event offers an opportunity not only for antiques dealers, but artists, collectors, or anyone with antiques, unique collections or quality art that they wish to show or sell. Right now, we’re looking for people interested in being a part of our new event.”
Rob Nestor, who sits on both The Arts Center and Elkins Parks and Recreation Commission boards, said, “Both boards are excited to offer such a quality event for the communities of north central West Virginia. We’re eagerly looking forward to working with the talented artists from our area and allowing the antiques dealers and artists to showcase their products.”
