Sparks: Textured Acrylic Paintings by Jay Garst
First Friday Gallery Walk at Gather
Opening: Friday, August 1st, 2025 | 5–8pm
Gather | 116 N Walnut St | Bloomington, IN

Join us for August’s First Friday Gallery Walk as we welcome Sparks, a collection of textured acrylic paintings by Jay Garst. Each of Jay’s works begins with a spark – a fleeting idea, a tool, a texture, or a playful experiment – and unfolds into layered, story-rich paintings built from rocks, fabric, sticks, lace, paste, and countless choices along the way. These pieces do not arrive fully formed but emerge through an intimate discourse between artist and canvas, revealing only glimpses of the million decisions hidden beneath their surfaces.

Come meet the artist, explore these deeply textural works, and spark your own creative curiosity at Gather this First Friday.
