Cocktails & Conversations Saturday, February 17

Garden & Gun senior editor CJ Lotz chats with world-renowned decoy artist Mark S. McNair about the folk art revival that first inspired him, the techniques behind his pieces, and how he finds ideas and materials throughout the rugged coastal South. Sold out!

Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts presents an exciting new art exhibition, Walk on the Wild Side, depicting the beauty of wildlife throughout our region and the world.

Mark and Ian ‘s work is currently being displayed, and is for sale.

During the SouthEastern Wildlife Exhibition in Charleston, South Carolina, the works of Mark, Ian and Colin McNair will be featured at the Audubon Gallery, at 190 King Street. Also there is a sporting art auction. At the Charleston Marriott, at 170 Lockwood Blvd., Copley Fine Arts will be holding their Winter Sale on Saturday, the 16th of February. It’s a great time of year to head south!

Currently, there is a collection of Mark's work on exhibit, belonging to Mark and Margie Cromwell, and due to the positive response, it is still on display, but the museum is closed for the season.  It is in the historic deWitt Cottage Museum at 1113 Atlantic Avenue in Virginia Beach, Virginia. There are some photos of the show in the New Gallery section. Photographing the birds through glass was disappointing; they look much better in person.

Mark, Ian, and Colin McNair will be the featured carvers at the nation's largest decoy show. There will be a retrospective exhibition of works along with interactive events. More details to come. Contact colin@copleyart.com with questions.
