by RickThe scene in Red Lion continues to expand. A few months ago Handy Concepts Art Gallery (HCAG) opened one block east of Vintage JoAnn at 20 E Broadway. Owner Cheryl Handy has created an atmosphere that is unintimidating and inviting. The Gallery showcases primarily local artists in different mediums, many of them traditional but many unusual.
One of the things I like about visiting HCAG is that there is absolutely no pressure to do anything except to enjoy the work on display. The atmosphere is complimented by Handy Concepts Radio which is not only heard in the Gallery but also can be heard on the internet. Programmed by Mike Anthony, who is also the Gallery’s Marketing Director, the radio station provides information about the Gallery and the surrounding area as well as great background music. Listen for the spot about Vintage JoAnn!!
Cheryl and Mike go beyond their regular hours to provide all kinds of experiences for people at HCAG. There’s Football Widows afternoon on Superbowl Sunday and Date Night coming up in February.
Beyond the Gallery, this is a wonderful vintage building lovingly brought back to life by Sandi Graham & Scott Thompson. A 3-story 1929 brick building that has been completely restored inside & out. Scott & Sandi recently won an award for the design and work on this and one other building here in town.
So come to Red Lion and spend the afternoon at Vintage JoAnn, Handy Concepts, The Ice Cream House (in-season), The Whistle Brew Coffee Stop or any of the other places listed on our “While You’re in the Area” page.
