Featured Artist at Foley Performing Arts Gallery



This Press Release says it all:

Local Photographer Exhibits in Foley Arts Center

Biloxi – Biloxi photographer Linda Saxon Nix is the featured artist in the Middle Gallery at the Foley Performing Arts Center in Foley, AL. Nix, a member of the Art center since 2006, is showing nine of her favorite images and a number of matted pieces. All of the works may be purchased. The exhibit will hang through April, at which time selected pieces will be moved across the street to be displayed in the Colonial Bank. Foley Art Center is located at 119 West Lauren Avenue (Highway 98), with viewing hours from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM Monday – Friday and 10:00 AM 2:00 PM on Saturdays.

The Foley Arts Center is a very nice art gallery, and is really one of those "little well-kept secrets" because most people head for the outlet mall in Foley. They miss the best part of Foley when they bypass the lovely little town. Foley is one of my favorite places because of all of the civic landscaping that is done there. No matter what time of year, you can count on beautiful beds of flowers in bloom year-round.
My husband and I have been members for the past three years. I display my photography and Vern his pottery. They asked me to be featured in the Middle Gallery for the first time, and I was pleased to mount an exhibit. The grand hotel that has always housed the gallery is being sold, and the gallery will soon move across the street.
