JOE DOWNING
Homecoming: Ménerbes to Bowling Green
The Ellis Walker Gallery presented Joe’s Homecoming show in September 2022, which featured works from the personal collection of Joe Downing and Emmanuel Wardi from Ménerbes, France.
Below are images of the works that were included in the show. Details about each piece are listed in the following exhibition catalogue. Click the "Available Works" button to see the artworks that are available to purchase and are on display in the gallery.
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.
