“The Universe of James Yale” Fine Art Exhibit Opening reception 6-9:00pm.

The Eureka Fine Art Company

In the newly opened Top Floor Exhibition Gallery 78 Spring Street Historic District Eureka Springs.

The Eureka Fine Art Company presents a Top Floor celestial retrospective presentation of the work of Eureka’s own internationally known artist, James Yale.

 Like Halley’s Comet completes its orbit once in a lifetime, lost works of the artist return to our realm through a visual, lightshow and musical skywalk experiential exhibit of The Universe of James Yale.

A metaphysical journey through time and space, mythology and fantasy, this exhibit’s center piece features a recently completed portrait of Albert Einstein. Like E equals MC2, finishing the painting set off the momentum of synchronicity as Yale’s originals resurfaced. Now lovingly restored, this body of Yale’s work includes sketches, drawings, paintings and sculpture that date back to 1972, some of which have never been shown. You are invited to celebrate this event with the artist who has never seen this work exhibited at the same time and the same space. Refreshments will be served opening night.

Yale’s connection to Eureka spans over thirty five years and began with his introduction to fellow fine artist, Susan Morrison, whose work now occupies the street level gallery around the corner on Spring. Moving to Eureka and establishing a home base, Yale traveled during the early ‘70’s, exhibiting his work at fine art shows throughout the US, Canada and Mexico. In the years to follow, Northwest Arkansas became the location for several of Yale’s own studios including the Chambered Nautilus Studio and Gallery as well as Juxtaom Fine Arts Gallery, both located in Eureka Springs.

As an added feature, come early and meet Denise Ryan from 10am to 1pm. Enjoy her unique, widely acclaimed work of stunningly colorful breathtaking pieces. Yale speaks highly of her work: “Denise Ryan is a wonderful, imaginative artist and a true Master.”

Eureka Fine Art Company was created in 1989, by Susan Morrison and Randy Woodward, and is the largest art gallery in the region. It is located at #78 Spring Street. Teressa and Russell Murphy, formerly of Little Rock , purchased the gallery this year and this exhibit is celebrating the opening of the top floor for more exhibit space. A special thanks to Randy Woodward for providing additional space for this exhibit and to the new owners and staff for hosting and sponsoring this event.

This special weekend will entice you to stay over in Eureka Springs for a full weekend of art as Saturday night the Gallery and Art Walk will feature an open house round of galleries and art studios in Eureka.
