In an effort to heat up daily workouts as the cold weather sets in, the artists who exercise at Signal Mountain’s Curves have created a gallery of original work to admire at the gym throughout the month of November.
“You feel like you are getting your culture at the same time you are working out,” said Curves member and art fan Faye Hitchcock. “What could be better?”
Signal Mountain Curves owners Priscilla Caine and Jenny Richards couldn’t agree with their client more. Understanding the wonderful resource they have at their fingertips, the pair hosted a similar display a few years ago and jumped at the chance to do it again when it was suggested this year by two members of the local creative community, Moggie Henry and Barbara Voss.
Craving more interesting scenery than the standard Curves posters, the ladies teamed up to collect and hang the work on the walls of the workout space in a way to inspire and celebrate the women who frequent the gym. Many of the artists were already acquainted with one another, as they paint together at Bachman Community Center with the Mountain Arts Guild.
Curves of Signal Mountain’s visual art exhibit featuring the work of local creators may be visited throughout the month of November. Curves is at 2600 Taft Hwy. For more information call 886-1101.
“These are local artists who are very talented,” said Richards of the six exhibiting creators. “It’s a perfect venue to display their work.”
The work, which is for sale, also gives gym members a different focus from the workout routine.
“It gives you something to be interested in working out so you don’t have to think about being sweaty and hot or that you’d rather be somewhere else,” said exhibiting artist and Curves member Moggie Henry. “There’s just a wide range of stuff from people who don’t often hang together.”
The public is also invited to the Curves exhibit and may drop in during the gym’s regular hours.
