Artist Ryan Adams One Year Later

Central Coast artist Ryan Adams was featured here on Eclectic Arcania ago today. At that time he was unveiling his then-oevre to the world for the first time but did not yet have his own gallery. Since that time he opened the A-Town Co-Op Art Gallery at 5945 Entrada in Atascadero, CA.

Last September he opened the doors on his dream in collaboration with 15 other local artists, including noted local artist Dexter Smith whom deserves and will get his own article here later. Since that time that number has expanded as has his inventory of local art including not only paintings but wood and metal sculpture as well as jewelry art.

That same month his "Good Morning in Atascadero" was featured on the front cover of the Atascadero News' 'Savor Atascadero' publication.

Last year The New Times' Spring Arts 2010 publication featured his work.

Next month is designated Bike Month and in recognition The ARTery in Atascadero is hosting a bike-themed art exhibition and Ryan is creating a wonderful work in participation which painting can be viewed below in the bottom photo with Ryan posing next to it.

Also, the May issue of Paso Robles Magazine's Vino publication will feature a work by Adam's on its front cover.

The A-Town Co-Op Art Gallery also hosts a musical jam session every Wednesday evening from 5PM-7PM. This is an open session so all musicians are welcome and various musical genres are featured.

More changes are in store for Ryan's gallery as he refines and improves the layout and design and creates the perfect mix of art and artists. Ryan can be contacted at 805.464.9181 or at gtsadams@yahoo.com.
