Kinky Friedman comes to Crossroads in Winnsboro Sat., Feb.11, 2012. Brace yourself.

Anita Williams - Sunday, January 15, 2012

Get ready. Kinky Friedman's Southern Discomfort Tour will invade Winnsboro on Saturday, February 11 at 7:30 pm.

Kinky's tour is winding through Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Misssissippi and Nashville where he'll perform his off-beat songs. Attending a Kinky concert is pretty well mandatory for any true-blooded Texan and those who have fled from the North and California to make Texas their home. 

Get your tickets now. It's going to be a sell-out. 

Advance tickets: $30
Reserved seats: $35

3rd Friday Art Walk, Friday, Oct. 21, features a new exhibition and new art to enjoy

Anita Williams - Sunday, October 16, 2011

This update on the 3rd Friday Arts Festival and the Friday Night Art Walk from Sandy Page, Director of the Winnsboro Cultural Arts District. . .

Friday evening from 6 - 9 pm, the 3rd Friday Art Walk  keeps a “fresh face” and moves forward as it continues to feature new artwork from local artists. 

The Keyring Gallery will have an “Opening Night” reception and serve as the base for the Winnsboro Art District’s monthly Art Walk.    Many downtown merchants will be open for an evening of art, music, refreshments, sales, and festivities.

Sherry Callender is showing new images with her amazing drawings. . . John Wayne walks tall during “Autumn Trails.” 

A composite of “Lonesome Dove” scenes brings more Western flavor to the gallery.  Another composite drawing features Steve McQueen and “movie takes”..Sherry’s artwork “dances” with Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers.

Bobbye Koncak has new abstract work featured at the Gallery.  Realism is conveyed, with an exciting color palette, in her images of water lilies.  This watercolorist brings not only stellar execution to her artwork, but an amazing ability to convey a depth of color rarely seen in watercolors.

Ellie Taylor has many new expressions of her impressionism.  Familiar scenes of everyday life take on new dimensions as she depicts quick takes in an energetic and exciting style.  Whether it is a “Cloudy Morning”, a “Retreat to the Mountains” or “Home at Last,” the viewer quickly arrives there.

Paula Renee Ridgeway’s realism reaches out and brings home the beauty of birds, or equally, the power of human emotions.  Charles Conner’s photography shows a central focus of serene balance and a centrality that portrays beauty in the natural world.  The work highlights the simple, but important, role of form in portraying an artist’s message. 

Barbara Sudik brings a varied and colorful style to the exhibition.   Scenes form a travelogue for the viewer, whether it be a European visit or a trip to the rodeo.    The colorful masks of Craig Royer delight as they contrast with the carved, sculptural beauty of his chairs.

View the organic sculpture and the exquisite hand tinted photographs of Bonnie Sir Kegian.  Efton Edwards presents serene beauty contrasting with an edgy air of mystery.  Bart Soutendijk’s wire sculptures contrast the medium of wire as it moves to form soft organic forms.  Many more artists are featured in this new Artists’ Exhibition.

The Winnsboro Emporium will have their “Live Poets Society” meeting at 6 pm during the Friday evening Art Walk. 

Other Art Walk Stops include Liefie , SayADream Studio, Beauweevils, Main Street Antiques & Collectibles. Silhouette Dressmaking, & Jan’s Antiques.  Art & Espresso will feature classical guitarist Brent Bassham (7 – 9 pm). You'll find art, refreshments and wine at select locations.

Saturday, October 22, Crossroads presents  Ann Armstrong & Steve Hughes at 7:30pm, $15 adv/$18 door/$20 reserved.

Official Poster Contest Announced for the 2011 Winnsboro Fine Art Market

Anita Williams - Thursday, February 03, 2011


This just in from Mary Smith.  . .


In an effort to expand and enhance its event for artists in the region, The Winnsboro Fine Art Market is sponsoring an Official Poster Competition for its November 2011 art festival. 

“One of the goals of the Art Market is to promote area artists and this competition will be a great opportunity for the winning artist to gain some notoriety as well as earning a little spending money,” said Mary Smith, Event Director.

In addition to having their artwork featured on all event marketing materials, the winner will receive a $500 cash award and recognition on the website and at the Art Market. 

The winning artwork will be auctioned at the Patrons’ Reception held on Friday, November 4th, to kick off the event.

The competition is open to all artists 18 years and older, and to minors who have the written consent of a parent or guardian.  Artwork in any media will be considered.

For detailed rules and an application, please visit our website at www.winnsboroart.com or contact Mary Smith at 903-342-3438 or via e-mail at mary@winnsboroart.com.

The Winnsboro Fine Art Market is sponsored by The Winnsboro Main Street Partnership, Inc., a non-profit corporation whose mission is to support the development of successful and thriving private sector businesses in the Downtown Historic District and throughout the City of Winnsboro.
