“Renew” by Amy Guidry; Acrylic on canvas; 6″ x 6″; SOLD; (c) Amy Guidry 2018

If you missed the opening of “The Revival” at Cactus Gallery in Los Angeles, there will be another event tomorrow.  The gallery will be open for the 11th Frogtown Art Walk on Saturday, September 22nd from 4-10pm.  It is a community festival that stretches 2 miles along the LA River.  Numerous venues will host pop-up art exhibits, food selections, stages and performance spaces, all for free.  37 venues (Cactus Gallery, 3001 N. Coolidge Ave. LA CA 90039 is #29 on the map), 50+ artists, 3 stages with music, a “literary lounge”, an interactive light installation stretching ½ mile along the LA River, pedi-cabs, and more.

My painting Renew will be featured as part of “The Revival,” an exhibit which explores life, death, rebirth and growth represented with natural imagery.  You can view Renew online (and purchase ahead of the event) here: https://cactusgalleryla.com/collections/the-revival-2018/products/renew-by-artist-amy-guidry.
