The Gallery will initially feature 10 Artists that we have worked with or represented over the 35 years in the arts and publishing.


The variety of styles will certainly appeal to the customers of this new gallery. The Gallery will feature a working studio complete with a digital video camera that will be mounted in the ceiling - the images will be shown on a 50" flat screen TV mounted on the wall above the artists drawing table. A wireless mike will allow the artist to explain their work over the Gallery sound system.
A similar studio system will be available on the outside patio, on the south side of the building (see below).
We plan to feature not only the visual arts but also the perfoming arts here-Jazz, blues and lite rock.
Photo of east side of building, the arched window will be a stained glass window that will be back lite at night.
The other photo shows the lobby entrance and the west side of building. Behind the building is a park and beyond that is Lake Erie, with a view of Kelleys Island.

New Fine Art Gallery and Art Studio being constructed in Marblehead, Ohio.
This 1,500 sq. ft. Gallery will feature many artists work that the McCallum's have worked with over the past 35 years.
The Unique features of this Gallery will be the two working studios. One will be an interior studio, that features a digital video remotely activated zoom camera, mounted in the ceiling above the work station of the artist. A 50" flat screen TV is mounted on the wall above the artist, this will enable scheduled groups of visitors to view how the artists works. The artist will be able to converse with the visitors via a wireless head mike through the the internal and external sound system.
A similar system will be featured on the Patio/Studio as seen on the left front side of the structure. The perimeter of the patio will have benches attached to stone flower boxes, so it should present a nice presence from the street.
The facility is scheduled to open in April, with a Grand Opening in mid June. I'll post more images as the Gallery progresses.
