A big thanks to everyone who helped make the Joe Downing Exhibition such a wonderful show! We appreciate those who were able to visit the gallery, as well as the folks who participated in the silent auction from afar. The team at the Ellis Walker Gallery is grateful for all your support and enthusiasm, and we look forward to creating and sharing future exhibitions!
A special thanks to Dominique Bowen, of Ménerbes, France. Without her, the Joe Downing and Emmanuel Wardi art would have never made the long journey from France to Kentucky, and this show would not have been possible.
All proceeds from the Joe Downing collection will go to the
Joe Downing Art Scholarship Fund at Western Kentucky University.
