1708 Gallery organizes small exhibitions for Linden Row Inn, a historic Inn located at 100 East Franklin Street. The work is displayed in their lobby and dining room for guests and the public. Linden Row Inn is part of the First Friday Gallery walk, every first Friday of the month from 7-10 pm.
Poe’s Playground is a collection of work inspired by Poe’s Life, Art and Places he haunted during his lifetime. Young Edgar played in the courtyards of this very inn as a young child. His stories inspire artists to examine what may be creepy, melancholy or a fear as simple as wondering what may lurk under the bed. The exhibition features artists Caryl Burtner, Jamie Burwell Mixon, Mark Chatterley, Kathryn Henry-Choisser, John Moser, Amie Oliver, Noah Scalin and Chris Semtner. Poe’s Playground will be on view until August 25th and will then travel to the Piedmont Arts Center in Martinsville, VA in September of 2010.
