Each year our Founding Gallery Partner, Mike Stutland, brings a presentation sure to please. From his National Kaliedoscope Exhibition to an All Equine Art Showcase, the annual 'Pop Art' Exhibit has become a favorite among visitors to Francisco's Farm.
This year Artique showcases artists who create their work from recycled, repurposed, reclaimed, or sustainably harvested natural materials.

Throughout the month of July,
Artique will join with other merchants at

we can all be more responsible to our environment. |
Mixed Media artist, Ken Roberts,
uses scrap metal in his sculptures
 |
"They all start as a block of wood," says Ken. "After carving them into different shapes, I start covering them with metal. Most of the metal is scrap that I find where ever I can. I love the rusted metal and the different colors and textures that are created with combined with aluminum, copper, and brass." |

FB Fogg has a passion for bringing paper to life in the creation of sculptures that celebrate our love for animals of all kinds. They begin by making paper in an eco-friendly process—using cotton rag and abaca, a glucose rich substance made from banana stalks which acts as a natural glue. |
Artique is definitely "not just a gallery", but a community partner in promoting the arts. Stutland maintains a full schedule of artist demonstrations at his Lexington Galleries, both in the Civic Center downtown and at his Lexington Green location.
Among the many awards earned by Artique is the Commonwealth's most distinguished award for Outstanding Support of the Arts -
the Governor's Award in the Arts - Business Award bestowed in 2005. |
