Artist MJ Venrick to speak at MVAC
2023-09-21 12:30 - 13:30 | Mountain Valley Arts Council Gallery, 440 Gunter Avenue, Guntersville, AL, 35976, United States
Mountain Valley Arts Council will host MJ Venrick, an artist from Albertville on Thursday, September 21st at 12:30 – 1:30 PM. She will talk about “How Artists Find Their Audiences” based on her years of experience as a visual artist, gallery owner, and art museum manager. Whether an artist plans to focus on art festivals, galleries, or online sales of their art, MJ has experience to share.
MJ (as in Mary Jane, a name she says she outgrew a long time ago) Venrick is an MVAC member and volunteer who regularly participates by placing pieces of her art on MVAC’s Member Wall and organizes the gallery based on her expertise of retail art sales. Currently, three of her abstract pieces are part of the September Members Art Exhibit. Recently, she shared the backstories on her abstract pieces with the 27 home-schooled students who visited the MVAC Gallery for an art workshop.
A large waterscape painting was selected for Lt. Governor Will Ainsworth’s waiting room in his office suite in Montgomery. It will be on exhibit there all of 2023.
These monthly Art Talks are free and open to the public since they are funded by grants from the Alabama State Council on the Arts, City of Guntersville, and generous Marshall County businesses and MVAC members. Please come join us for this informative session from an artistic expert.

This simple act can be a tremendous boost to their self-esteem and aspirations.
This event also offers a unique opportunity to connect and build relationships with potential the workforce of tomorrow and voters. It’s a chance for our community and business leaders to demonstrate their commitment to nurturing the talents and potential within our youth.
We believe in the power of unity and the positive impact that can be created when our community leaders and our teens come together.

Clouds & Wood Dominate MVAC’s October Exhibit
2023-10-03 - 2023-11-03 | Mountain Valley Arts Council Gallery, 440 Gunter Avenue, Guntersville, AL, 35976, United States
Clouds & Wood Dominate MVAC’s October Exhibit
Mountain Valley Arts Council features art by Gretchen McKee, an amazing quilt by Anne Barrett, and members of the North Alabama Woodturners Association in its October exhibit. Please come meet the artists during the Artists’ Reception on October 10th from 5:30 – 7 PM and bring friends back to enjoy the exhibit from October 3rd – November 3rd at the MVAC Gallery at 440 Gunter Avenue in Guntersville.
Anne Barrett of Grove Oak has been a prize-winning hand-quilter and quilting teacher for many years. This new quilt is made of one-inch squares and a few that are divided further into halves and quarters. The pixelated look gives the quilt both a 3-D and contemporary style to it. And then, Anne hand-quilted it! Other fall-themed quilts will also be in the exhibit.
Gretchen McKee of Langston works in both oils with cold wax and watercolor. Her current landscape work in oils and cold wax illustrates tumultuous clouds that make you nearly hear weather alert alarms. The emotions they invoke are unambiguous and riveting. Her watercolors are miniatures of Alabama scenes that draw you in for a closer look and leave you smiling. The exhibit also includes notecards of Gretchen’s watercolor work.
Gretchen McKee is a graduate of the Auburn University Fine Arts program with a major in Printmaking and minors in Painting and Illustration. Her original intent was to be an illustrator of children’s books, but she quickly discovered her passion for oils and watercolor painting.
Gretchen is drawn to abstracts due to its intuitive nature and its contemporary feel. Abstract painting is a natural fit to landscape painting, her second love. She lives in Langston near the Tennessee River which provides endless inspiration. Her interpretation of the landscape around her is represented through abstract views of the beauty, emotion, and soul of the area.
Gretchen’s art was part of MVAC’s year-long exhibit in Lt. Governor Will Ainsworth’s Montgomery office suite in 2022 and 2023 as well as several exhibits in the MVAC Gallery over the past few years. She also teaches private art classes at a private school.
The North Alabama Woodturners Association creates beautiful wood-turned pieces of art that should not be a surpirse. With 70% of Alabama covered in forests with over 200 different kinds of hardwoods and this area being the sole source of chittum wood, they have nearly endless options of woods to use.
The Association which was established in 2008 meets monthly to share technique demonstrations and “show and tell” sharing. Newer members have access to a wealth of knowledge since so many of the members have decades of woodturning experience. NAW embers participating in this exhibit include Dennis Brooks – Valhermosa Springs, Bill Cash – Arab, Gary Hales – Boaz, Howard King – Cullman, Steve Kreps – Cullman, Tom Wing – Grant, and Slaten Tate – Huntsville, and more.
Generous MVAC members and business sponsors such as the City of Guntersville, Citizens Bank & Trust, Rodney’s Flowers, and Sand Mountain Toyota made these exhibits possible.
