Ken Stutes owner of Avondale ArtWorks has been working around the clock moving  his gallery to his new location which is just next to Biscottis Restaurant on St. Johns Ave. He has been remodeling the new 2700 sq foot elegant gallery. I have been displaying art work with Ken from the open in September of 2009 and it’s so nice to see Ken’s business moving on up! This Friday August 6th from 5pm to 9pm  will be the Grand Opening and a truly beautiful event. I’m proud to be a part of it.

Below is a link to Avondale Art Works’ website. Look at all the many artist Ken works with in Jacksonville and Nationally!

Original Art broadens the way you look at life! It is personal. It is meant to be enjoyed and can be uplifting if you let it! Forget the ‘experts’, let yourself go and simply look to your inner self for your own reaction. Your own neighbors worked hard to create what you can experience this Wednesday and own! My favorite phrase is ‘I don’t know much about art, but I know what I like’. We guarantee you will like something/someone here.”-Gray Solomon
