Charlotte, NC — RedSky Gallery, a 6,000 sq. ft. fine art and craft gallery located in
the heart of Dilworth,
opened its second location at the EpiCentre in Uptown Charlotte on January 22, 2009. The newest
RedSky
location is approximately 1800 sq. ft. and is housed in a glass fronted space facing the main courtyard
of
the EpiCentre complex. The design is more contemporary than the main gallery but still maintains some
key architectural elements that mimic the main gallery.
RedSky Gallery’s owner, Kellie Scott, admitted this is not the most opportune time to be opening
a new
business but she felt it was worth the risk to be located in such a prime area. To be literally
in on the
“ground floor” of such a great complex is an amazing opportunity. The modern, urban
atmosphere at the
EpiCentre is ideal for a fine art and craft gallery. “The EpiCentre location opens us up
to an entirely different
market of customers” says Scott. “We’re excited to show Uptown Charlotte what RedSky
has to offer.”
At the EpiCentre gallery, customers will find contemporary paintings, fine art glass, ceramics and sculpture,
as well as art-to-wear and fine studio jewelry. The Dilworth gallery will continue to serve as the main
gallery.
Both locations will provide rotating artists’ exhibitions as well as an ongoing selection of art
and fine craft.

RedSky Gallery was founded six years ago to showcase fine arts and crafts. In addition to the
gallery’s
collection of contemporary paintings, including pastels, oils, watercolors, and mixed media, RedSky
offers
exceptional works in glass, metal, ceramics, and wood. RedSky also has a wide selection of home
accessories, jewelry, and art-to-wear. The gallery currently represents over 500 national and
regional
artists. Gallery visitors to all three locations will find a pleasing array of high quality collections
that
encompass a variety of styles and price points. The gallery’s owner, Kellie Scott, is committed
to
representing the best in local and national contemporary art.
RedSky Gallery also offers a variety of Corporate Art Services. RedSky’s expert staff can
assist companies
in choosing or commissioning the perfect piece of art for any office space. Through the Corporate
Gift and
Award Program the staff can help select a beautiful piece of art to recognize outstanding employees
and
clients. The gallery space may also be rented as a unique venue for your next special event.

the gallery offers Bridal Registry for art loving couples. Once couples register for items, they

Charlotte, North Carolina - RedSky Gallery is proud to present an exhibition of
paintings by Kevin Harrison and wood vessels by Joel Hunnicutt. The exhibition
opens with a reception on Friday evening September 10th 6:00-8:30 pm. at
RedSky Gallery, 1244 East Blvd, in Dilworth. The show runs through October 6th.
Kevin Harrison directs live marketing events, creates Flash animations, does
graphic design work, creates short films, photographs weddings, paints sky-room
murals, and paints in his studio and sells his work through galleries in St.
Augustine, FL, Charlotte, NC, Asheville, NC, and Charleston, SC. His paintings
have been commissioned all over the US including, New York, Las Vegas, San
Francisco, Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte,
Charleston as well as Berlin, Germany, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and London, UK.
Joel Hunnicutt is a wood artist focused on the shape, color, and design of the
vessel. The primary technique he uses is called "segmented" turning. This is a
process of precisely cutting and assembling small pieces of wood, often 3 or more
species, and turning them to a final shape on the wood lathe. The use of this
technique allows him great flexibility in designing shapes that would be extremely
difficult or impossible to create from solid wood. Pieces are typically finished in
lacquer often dyed to create a rainbow of color, not generally associated with
wood.
RedSky Gallery features original works on paper and canvas, sculpture, ceramic,
glass, studio furniture, art-to-wear, jewelry, and more. Over 500 regional and
national artists are represented at two gallery locations in Dilworth and the
EpiCentre in Uptown Charlotte. For more information about the gallery, please
