When Brother Junipers famous breakfast restaurant expanded in the fall of 2008, LongRiver Entertainment Group partnered with the owners to establish a fine art gallery in the new, large waiting area next to the restaurant.
The gallery opened with a showing of George Hunt's work on loan from the traveling exhibit: CONJURATING THE BLUES. Well known Memphis artist Stephen Hudson's paintings and sculptures were also shown through the first of April.
The current show, featuring painter Debbie Crawford, also includes a collection of photographs from Marc Norberg, Ernest Withers, William Eggleston, Robert Werling, David Simmons and other regional photographers. Mainly B&W with a few color photographs, the show covers a broad spectrum from Memphis music history, blues clubs from across the country, dramatic western landscapes and civil rights. Debbie Crawford's bold paintings of cats, cows and flamingos brings a bright colorful splash to the Gallery.
An inventory of George Hunt's paintings and prints remain at the Gallery along with some Stephen Hudson originals and prints. Carl Scott, a new emerging artist painting historic music sites in Memphis is also shown in the Gallery
