Allen and Priscilla Bunker, owners of the allen david GALLERY, are pleased to host the next Boothbay Harbor Region Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours on Wednesday, May 11th from 5 - 7 p.m. Come mingle, munch and mull with your friends while contemplating art and life (and business!). The Gallery is right in downtown Boothbay Harbor in the former Ruby's-Bob's Photo-First National Groceries building at 15 Townsend Avenue.
Since their last Business After Hours at 10 McKown Street in 2008, the allen david GALLERY has moved to their new 2,000 square foot facility. The new contemporary space offers room to hang up to 500 paintings, as well as ample window displays, along with a prime location.
The GALLERY now represents 15 artists: Henry Bonner, Allen Bunker, Celene Farris, Rick Daskam, Robert Grant, Susan Hollis, Frederick Kubitz, Nancy Lee Lovley, William Maloney, Tom Puschock, Ronald Salter, Janis Sanders, Bill Tomsa, and Claire Vigneau, all with connections to Maine.
Last year the GALLERY added ladies accessories, The Edge of Art, which was quite a success! A new style of stainless steel handbag will be featured this year. The stainless steel cuffs were such a hit they couldn't keep them in stock - but, one will be offered as a door prize!
Black Sheep Weaving is a new line of handwoven wool rugs by Priscilla Bunker. This year two styles will be displayed - all created from 100% wool roving. The cream-colored rugs are made entirely from Maine wool while the others are heritage wools. Two pebble rugs have recently been juried into the River Arts Fine Art Exhibit for the month of May in Damariscotta.
Light refreshments of appetizers and sweets by Best Friends Catering will be served, along with sparkling water and assorted wines and beer. And don't forget your business cards for the door prize drawings: a stainless steel cuff ($120 value); a leather wallet ($75 value); an allen david GALLERY cap (priceless); and 1 bottle of fine wine - a 2001 Seghesio Old Vine, Sonoma County - Zinfandel (91 Wine Enthusiast rating). Plus, the Grand Prize: a 1997 Caymus Vineyards, NapaValley - Cabernet Sauvignon (91 Wine Enthusiast rating). Wow!
