Now you can pick up a new piece of history to commemorate a very sad year with the cancelling of the annual Pumpkin Show. Eric has created the following artwork to benefit local non-profit, ArtsaRound.
The original painting for this special year will be displayed at the ArtsaRound Gallery on the Original Circle. The gallery will take prepaid orders for only 500 framed, matted, signed, and numbered prints. Loose prints will be offered for sale as well. The first 100 prints in the series will be signed in person by the artist in a limited and controlled meet and greet at the gallery on Saturday, October 31 from 11am to 3pm. ArtsaRound will be taking donations during this special in-person event.
“Since the scale of his work has grown to include realistic large-scale murals across the world, his artwork has been seen by millions,” comments Dale Herron, ArtsaRound President. “We are so honored that Eric and his family thought of us at ArtsaRound, Circleville, as well as Pumpkin Show at this difficult time.” Patrons will be able to view and make purchases starting Oct. 22. Prints will be offered while supplies last.
The ArtsaRound Gallery on the Original Circle is housed in the former Marfield Bank Building owned by the Pickaway County Historical Society. This rare pie-shaped property was part of the original circle of Circleville. The gallery is operated by local volunteers Fridays from 4 pm to 7 pm, Saturdays from 10 am to 6 pm and Sundays from 1 pm to 4 pm. Hours may vary based on volunteer availability, special classes, gallery events, and other advertised downtown events.
