The Paper Trail

Eight years ago, a handful of well-respected artists in the Cookeville area banded together to promote the local arts scene through a two-day public studio tour called the Art Prowl.

Participating artists opened their studios to visitors who could see where the work is made, how it's made and purchase work directly from the artist.

Fast forward to 2008, and you get a greatly expanded version of the open studio tour, with more that 20 area artist taking part. This year's Prowl, which celebrates the thriving local arts environment is scheduled for Friday-Saturday, November 7-8th, in the WestSide district of Cookeville, as well as locations near the Courthouse Square.

Art Prowl 2008 participants include fibers artists Breanna Rockstad-Kincaid and Adele Seitzinger; glass artist Mike Ulschak;illustrator Wayne Hogan; multi-media artists Vickie Arp, Merritt Ireland, Bill Robison, and Stan Rodriguez; painters Cephas Ablakwa, Sarah Sullivan Arp, Kate Badoe, Sandi Bos, Isabel Cohen, Arlene Dubo, Angelo Fernandez and Paul Miktarian; photographer Joel Holmes; potters and clay artists Laura Clemons, Louis and Christine Colombarini, Jay Frankenfield, Marilee Hall and Debi Wichman; scrimshaw artist Kris Ballinger; and wood sculptor Brad Sells.
