 Fleur-ish Artists in Action!

Curious what goes on behind the scenes in an artist’s studio? See it blossom in real time at the Fleur-ish artist demos.

Join us Saturday, May 16th from 12–4 PM at Chemers Gallery for an afternoon of live artist demonstrations. Watch featured artists from the exhibition at work as they tend to their creative gardens and nurture a range of artistic processes right outside the gallery! It’s especially exciting to share that our juror, Amanda Fish, will also be participating in the live demo. 

From bold brushstrokes to careful handcrafted details, the demos will spotlight the boundless artistry in both painting and contemporary craft. 

The energy is always high as artists share their techniques, tools, and ideas in an open, interactive setting. It’s a great opportunity to experience artworks in a new way and connect with the makers themselves.

This event also marks the final hours of Fleur-ish before the exhibition closes at 4 PM, so it’s your last opportunity to take the beauty all in.

Drop by, stay awhile, and see what grows from the process!

Fleur-ish Award Winners

Presenting Fleur-ish All Media Juried Exhibition 2026 
Award Winners!

Fleurish Banner - 2

It truly took a collective effort to bring Fleur-ish to life. From the artists who shared their work, to our dedicated staff, and everyone who came through to experience and support the show. We’re grateful to be apart of a community that continues to champion the arts, and welcome so many new voices into this year’s juried exhibition. Fleur-ish offered a chance to explore florals from every angle, each piece adding something distinct to the conversation.

With 80 works on view, our juror, Amanda Fish, had no easy task selecting award recipients across Contemporary Craft, Contemporary, and Traditional categories.

Special thank you to TACFA for sponsoring this outstanding local tradition. 

Show continues through May 16th. Join us for artist demos May 16th, 12p – 4p

Congratulations to all!
