Hovey Holds Free Art Show June 20

Murphys, June 3, 2014 – Hovey Winery Tasting Room, 350 Main St., Murphys, will feature a number of local artists at its annual Art on the Lawn from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 20. Entry is free and wine by the glass or bottle will be available for sale. “Traditionally we’ve held an art show during Calaveras Winegrape Alliance’s Passport Weekend and took a year off when the event changed to CWA Behind the Bottle,” said Jan Hovey, “but we’re really excited to bring it back. Guests can meander through the garden visiting artists one-on-one, enjoy their talents, and hopefully take a piece or two home to savor.”

From handcrafted pottery and woodwork to acrylic, oil and watercolor original paintings, the garden area surrounding Hovey Tasting Room will be filled with notable area artists including Deborah Marlene, Ruth Morrow, Libby Fife, Denise Guyton, Ingrid Brown, Sharon Baker, Patty Payne, Annalisa and Dave Christian, Steve Bennett, Ron and Caroline Kamerlink and Amanda Sedgwick.

“We love supporting our local artists with our Artist of the Month program, and this show is another opportunity to see what artists are currently creating,” added Hovey. “Some have been a featured artist in the program, and others are new to the tasting room. It should be a wonderful mix of mediums, as well.”

Guests are also invited into the tasting room to see works from the June Artist of the Month, Kathy Canning.

Hovey Tasting Room is open daily from noon to 5:30 p.m. For more information, call 728-9999 or visit hoveywine.com.
