Gallery Main Street’s newest exhibit, “Landmarks,” will be celebrated with an opening reception Saturday, April 30, 5:30-8 p.m., at the Gallery, 110 W. Erwin St.

“Landmarks” is an exhibit with a twist in that the public will vote on their favorite pieces to be included in a 2017 calendar published in celebration of Tyler’s historic sites. Winners of that aspect of the exhibit will be announced in May in honor of National Historic Preservation Month.

Saturday’s reception will feature an opportunity to meet the artists and enjoy refreshments. Best in Show will be announced at approximately 6:30 p.m. As always, the event is free and open to the public.

“The exhibit opening is a great way to start a full evening of entertainment in Downtown Tyler,” said Main Street Director Beverly Abell. “Visitors can come to the gallery early in the evening, then go to one of several downtown spots for a drink or dinner.”

Gallery Main Street is a project of the City of Tyler Main Street Department in cooperation with the volunteers of the Downtown Tyler Arts Coalition and Heart of Tyler, Inc. The gallery opens a new juried exhibit approximately every eight weeks.

Information on Gallery Main Street hours and rules for entering the exhibit jury process can be found at DowntownTylerArts.com or by calling 903-593-6905.
