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, Tennessee, on Saturday, February 7, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Themed “Share the Love,” Frame Gallery’s 8th 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.

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.

We were absolutely feeling the love at Frame Gallery Gifts & Art on Saturday at our 8th Anniversary Arty Party!
The studio was buzzing as Connie Keetle worked her magic with walnut ink and other fascinating techniques that make her paintings so rich, expressive, and captivating to watch unfold.
Randa Hart Wells was a fantastic guide, sharing her favorite collage tips and tricks while using an amazing mix of materials—decorative papers, pages from old hymnals, maps, and all sorts of unexpected treasures. It was her very first time leading a workshop, and we can already tell it won’t be her last… we’re so excited for what’s ahead!
And a huge shoutout to our participants, who did an incredible job—everyone jumped in with creativity and left with truly wonderful pieces. The talent in the room was inspiring!
