Hiestand House reception kicks off Gerald Myers art exhibit Art exhibit will continuethrough July 31, 2014, features photorealism drawings of Taylor County native. By Virginia Graves CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY- Hiestand House, 1075 Campbellsville Bypass, Campbellsville, KY will host a community reception, Sunday, June 8, from 1pm-3pmCT/2pm-4pmET, to open their summer art exhibit featuring the photorealism drawings of Taylor County native, Gerald Myers. Those in attendance will get to view a number of original works by the artist and enjoy a sketching demonstration by Mr. Myers. The Myers exhibit will run through Thursday, July 31. Hiestand House is open Tuesday-Friday, 9/amCT/10amET-2pmCT/3pmET. Large groups should call 270-465-8726. The artistic talent of Myers began to be noticed when he was very young. His first grade teacher, Mrs. Rafferty, held on to two of Myers' pencil drawings for over a decade, returning the sketches of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln to the artist upon his high school graduation. Inspired by other photo realists, Myers has succeeded in obtaining an amazing photographic quality in his pencil drawings. Known for his vivid depictions of Americana life, his works were recently featured in the Louisville Courier-Journal by columnist, Byron Crawford. Today, Myers operates an art studio from his home and has sold his prints worldwide. The Hiestand House/Taylor County Museum is in the historic structure which is one of only 12 German stone houses still standing in Kentucky. It was built in 1823, is furnished with period antiques and has a detached kitchen, spring house, flower gardens, servant quarters, the Hiestand-Chandler-Gilmore cemetery and much more. - Virginia Graves Website: Hiestand House This story was posted on 2014-06-02 16:04:56
