BUCKHANNON — It’s that time of year again for Appalachian elegance at its finest! Join us at the one and only iNFAMOUS Art Gallery on Main Street Buckhannon for our second annual ‘A November to Remember’ fine art exhibition, Saturday, Nov. 19. Festivities begin at 6 p.m.

We will be breaking out the pearls, toasting with flutes of champagne. We will be dusting off those suits, getting decked out in our finest threads. We plan on sparkling, rolling out the red carpet, and enjoying the year in a retrospective exhibition where we revisit art from all the exhibitions through this year including:

  • Mama Always Said
  • Free Spin/Flapper Ball
  • Go Fly a Kite
  • The Wheel Comes Full Circle
  • Strawberries any way ya slice ’em 4
  • What Are They Thinking?
  • We’ve Got Issues
  • Selling Our Soul For a Decent Price
  • Take a Seat
  • In the Shadows

Come and celebrate with us and do it in style! The iNFAMOUS Art Collective boasts the skill of the area’s finest artists. Additionally, Out of the Ashes Fire Dancing Troupe will be performing as well as live music provided by saxophonist, Rich Norwood, and guitarist, Seth Maynard, making for a perfectly blended duo that is soothing to the soul.

While we encourage dressing up (hey, it’s fun!) formal wear is NOT required. We’d just love to spend our evening with you!

The event is free, and everyone is welcome (kids included!). Live music. Food. Drinks. Art.

Donations are not required, but significant and much appreciated.
