On Friday, May 1st, our very own Springville Junior High art teacher will be holding an art show at the Mode Boutique (45 North University Avenue in Provo). Mr. Jethro Gillespie will be displaying his own artwork for public viewing.
“Mr. Gillespie has a very unique art style, it would be a treat for anyone to attend this art gallery,” said Hannah Collings, a ninth grade student at SJHS.
Mr. Gillespie’s inspiration for the show was that he wanted to do small paintings, because a giant canvas can sometimes be intimidating. His paintings will go on sale at the viewing; each will be a framed 6×6 inch copy, available for purchase at only $20.
“I paint because I like to explore my understanding of the world,” said Mr. Gillespie, “I don’t really display them for money; my main motivation is because I want people to enjoy them.”
Anyone who enjoys art or is just looking for a good night out should attend Mr. Gillespie’s art show, which will be held on May 1st from 6 to 9 P.M. at the Mode Boutique in Provo.
