  About Broadstrokes
  Broadstrokes Gallery at the Verandah is the first showcase for fine art in Evans, Georgia.

Our Verandah location at 677-C North Belair Road is in the heart of the Evans Towne Centre and overlooks the developing One Marshall Place. We plan to, literally, stay on top of things as the Towne Centre continues to develop!

 


Believing that art breathes life and soul into a community, Broadstrokes is committed to bringing fine art to the residents of Evans. Our hope is that by featuring the works of local fine artists, the developing Evans Towne Centre will be enhanced with a touch of authenticity reflective of it's rich legacy.

The gallery features both contemporary and traditional artwork from ten of the regions' best artists. The collection contains a diversity of mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture and pottery. 

Originally located in downtown Augusta, Broadstrokes Gallery started in the spring of 2000 as a joint venture between four female artists. Lillie Morris was among this founding group and helped breath life into the downtown art community. The name Broadstrokes came from its location on Broad Street's Artists' Row and the fact that all the partners were female.

In 2004, Denise Norton, a portrait artist from the Evans area, joined Lillie at the downtown location.  The two Columbia County women seized the moment when doors opened to bring the Gallery to the county.  They were quickly joined by other exhibiting artists and craftsmen such as Thomas Lyles, Christina Rice, Lucy Weigle, Nancy Schulz, Jim Tar, Karen Banker, David Stuart, Frances Wells, Judy Avrett and Margaret Hunt.
