Join Frame Gallery Gifts and Art for a special anniversary celebration featuring hands-on art activities and live art demonstrations with local artists Randa Wells and Connie Keetle in Sewanee, on Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026, from 10 a.m. to noon.

Themed “Share the Love,” Frame Gallery’s eighth Anniversary Arty Party is a free event designed for all ages. Art supplies, party favors, and refreshments will be provided for guests and party participants.

During the celebration, make a Valentine or two with artist Randa Wells using her collage and cardmaking techniques — just in time for Valentine’s Day. Fellow artist and Frame Gallery’s own Connie Keetle will share her fascinating, unique painting process, using acrylic paints and walnut ink that she makes by hand. Both artists will have their original art, prints, cards, and Keetle’s walnut ink available for purchase on the day of the event.

Guests will also have opportunities to sign up for upcoming workshops and art projects at Frame Gallery’s new Community Table initiative with these artists, as well as Carole Foret and Linda Kerlin, among others.

“Since opening our doors in 2018, Frame Gallery has been honored to not only frame this community’s treasured pieces but also to celebrate local and regional artists, support fair-trade artisans, and host a wide variety of art, workshops, and events,” says Frame Gallery owner Harriet Runkle.

“I want to thank the artists, customers, collectors, teachers, students, and staff for supporting Frame Gallery for the past eight years—we truly couldn’t do this without you,” continues Runkle. “We want to share our love and gratitude with everyone in the community on this fun day, celebrating this milestone by creating art.”
