Red Dirt Art Gallery

This gallery has been closed for over six years, and is no longer in existence. It was a fine gallery in its day.

A friend of a friend told me their Grand Opening was today, and am I glad I made the trek down to the old Crossroads Mall (now Plaza Mayor I think). What an art co-op! I got to meet most of the artists, talk with them about their different mediums and passions. Kewl variety. Face painting today too. Even if you are not into art, you probably are familiar with a couple of the artist's work, like Bob Palmer who did all the Bricktown Murals. Carol Lorance is there with her Dragonfly Silks. Amazing photography too. But I got talking to Alexander Tomlin who was doing some cool stuff with metallics and the way the light was catching his art made it seem alive. It's a funky drop process on canvas and he kinda lost me. But wow. They are still getting set up, and it is a bit off-the-beaten path or I would have given it a 5star. A bit hard to find - southern end of the mall by the food court. South of the Carousel.The signs showed Art Classes available for children and adults. Can't wait to stop on by again when they get fully underway with those.

What a wonderful eclectic gallery! The art is beautiful and worth the trip. They also teach some exciting and fantastic classes. Very different.
