Cannon Gallery Features "Performing Arts" Art
posted: Apr. 15, 2005
Broad Ripple's newest art gallery has opened at 6356 Guilford Avenue. Cannon Gallery specializes in music and performing-arts themed art, which fits right in with the adjoining Frank's Violins.
Violin related art is everywhere at the Cannon Gallery.
Gallery owner Jeri Cannon has been a painter most of her life. She has participated in several art shows over the years "In 1999 I got the urge to paint big things," recalls Jeri. "A friend was having a baby and asked me to paint her nursery. I painted murals on the walls and was hooked!"
Jeri was living in an apartment at the time, so she had to find others with walls to paint. One of her murals drew the attention of someone associated with a home show in the Greenwood area. Jeri was to paint three murals in a million-dollar show home. She has since received several commissions for outdoor murals.

Jeri's music-themed artwork business started when she took a painting to Frank's Violins shop while shopping for an electric violin. Frank's owner Mark Kurkowski hung the painting in the store and it quickly sold. Jeri has since then sold many paintings at Frank's.
When the violin store outgrew the Ferguson Street location, Mark offered Jeri a small gallery space in the new Guilford Avenue spot. She accepted. "Opening a gallery with performing arts pieces within a music shop was a great opportunity. It is a small gallery, but it is a great fit with the violin shop."
The gallery currently shows mostly Jeri's works. "We will include other artists that produce art," explained Jeri, "that relates to the performing arts. My sister, Barbara Humpert, makes clay pieces. We carry several of her three-dimensional works. Karen Niemczyk will have her art in the gallery in April."
On April 29th and 30th, 2005, Frank's Violins and the Cannon Gallery will have a grand opening. Gazette readers will recognize the 6356 Guilford address from another new business in the same complex, Blown Glass Studio.
Cannon Gallery may be one of Broad Ripple's smallest galleries, but it showcases a wide variety of art forms - acrylic, mixed media, oils, three-dimensional, painted furniture, and small sculptures - all related the performing arts. The Gazette welcomes the Cannon Gallery to the Village.
