Kelley’s Carved Convoy on View Through Jan. 31

Description:

Kelley’s Convoy of Carved Vehicles ‘Trucks on’ into the New Year through Jan 31

The Art Garage will host a wall-to-wall exhibition and sale of carved painted trucks by preeminent Otsego County artist, Lavern Kelley. Following mid-month Opening Reception & Open House, the show will be on view Saturday December 24, 11-1, for last-minute, pre-Christmas visitors.

Please note that The Art Garage will also open by appointment seven days a week through January 31 with a text or call, 315-941-9607.

In addition to more than three dozen trucks carved from the 1950s to the 1990s, the gallery also offers several iconic cars, red Corvette and a Bel Air convertible, a small replica of a 1901 John Deere wood beam plow, handsome notecards, that feature Kelley’s agrarian drawings and a selection of Kelley’s striking photographs of some of the carvings, composed to appear life-size in the photos.

Hanging from a seasonal bough are remarkable miniature paintings on wooden keychains presented as one-of-a-kind ornaments by Kenyan artists. Proceeds from their sale will benefit the Mukuru Art Collective, Nairobi, Kenya.

Marcie Schwartzman is the featured local artist, with a smattering of blue and white vessels and a matching white teapot complete with customized tea cozy in the windowsill gallery and clay star ornaments streaming golden threads on the pine bough.

Also on reserve: a glowing, atypically-horizontal Tracy Helgeson landscape.

The Art Garage is located at 689 Beaver Meadow Road, Cooperstown, NY 13327.Images and more information can be found on Instagram or Facebook at ArtGarageCooperstown.
