First Thursday opening reception for Six Great Indiana Artists: David Dale, Jim Faulkner, Brian Gordy, Alan Patrick, John Peterson, and Carol Strock Wasson, Thursday, February 6, 5 - 8 pm

For many years, Gordy has proudly represented some of the best artists in our part of the state of Indiana. This exhibition brings together six of the most recognizable artists who have all achieved statewide and national prominence.  The show will open with a party on First Thursday, February 6, 5 – 8 pm. Brian Gordy, Alan Patrick, John Peterson, and Carol Wasson will attend and be available for questions and conversation. Refreshments will be served, and the public is invited. 

“It is thrilling to see all these artists in the same space. They have known each other and influenced each other for a very long time. They have also had a long impact on the generation that follows them,” says owner Carl Schafer. “Their commitment to their own artistic lives is matched by their commitment to fostering the artistic talent of their many students.”

At 6:15 Brian Gordy will give an informal talk about his own work and his long relationship with the other artists in the show. Brian and his wife Genny were owners of the gallery from 1989 – 2015. During that time, they were largely responsible for starting the First Thursday tradition in Muncie and represented all these artists in their gallery. 

The exhibit will be on view with works for sale in the gallery and on our website through March 1, 2025. 

Gordy Fine Art and Framing Company promotes talented artists, provides appraisals, restores antique frames, and offers expert design and craftsmanship for framing and displaying treasured family possessions and works of art. Business hours: Monday through Friday, 9 am – 5:30 pm, Saturday, 10 am – 3 pm. Gordy Fine Art and Framing Company is located at 224 East Main Street, next door to Muncie Civic Theatre.
