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.
