More art is in the eyes of the beholders, thanks to Cynthia Ham.
Ham, who became the new owner of Palladio last December, instituted monthly shows featuring local artists. She opened her first exhibit, which will be on view through August, with a “Meet the Artists” reception, held August 15th at Palladio Interiors & Garden at 2215 Central Avenue (at South Cox). This month’s artists are Jay Crum, Kong Wee Pang, Carl E. Moore, and Amy Hutcheson. “They were the first four to be shown since I took over,” Ham says. “And I plan to have other shows featuring high-quality Memphis artists.”
As far as she knows, this hasn’t been done previously at Palladio, says Ham. “This, to my knowledge, is a new approach of featuring artists.
“I am going to use some work from the show to keep on hand in case anybody wants to look at their work when they come in,” she adds. “Even though the show itself is coming down, we’ll have at least two pieces of their work there on a longer term.”
