Beth and Jason Thrasher, owners of Thrasher Photo + Design, have opened a new art gallery at Suite 1500 of the Leathers Building on Pulaski Street. The ACE / FRANCISCO Gallery will feature quarterly solo shows by local and national artists the Thrashers have met over the years, with artists keeping 100% of their original artwork sales. The inaugural show, “Vernon Thornsberry: New Works in Painting, Charcoal & Sculpture,” will open this night and remain on view Saturdays from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. through June 23. Thornsberry, originally from New Orleans, is a local fine artist and musician who often depicts contemporary figures from the community in dated scenes. During the opening event, a limited edition, signed print from one of the gallery paintings will be on sale.
