"Playing with Fire!"
by Sean Price
Live Demonstrations
Friday, June 27th 5-8pm
Saturday, June 28th 12-5pm
The fire of creation will blaze brightly at In-Town Gallery! See Sean Price make sculptures from molten glass!! Using rods of different colors, he fuses them in an open flame, creating amazingly life-like creatures as well as designs that verge on the abstract. Trained in Hawaii and having honed his technique for years, Sean Price’s artworks are in a class by themselves. The Friday demonstration will be on Frazier Avenue in front of In-Town Gallery as part of Night Market’s Celestial Faire.
“I’ve been making sculptures in glass for three decades,” Price says. “I’m just as enchanted now as I was at the beginning of my journey. Each day I find myself thinking about what can be created with my torch. I’m just a boy who likes to play with fire!”

"Threads"
A presentation of mixed-media artwork
David D'Alessandris
In his show, Threads, David’s images swirl with life, displaying a mastery of color and a complex sense of design. “Being an artist,” says D’Alessandris, “is a passion. It is a way of life that requires discipline and a commitment to creating. I work daily at my craft, driven by a fascination with color, texture, and depth of field. There is always a new idea waiting to be explored, and a challenging path to take.”
David D’Alessandris earned his BFA at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and did postgraduate studies at Carnegie Mellon University. During a 30-year career in creative product development, his design work received numerous awards. He has also had many solo exhibitions of his fine art. His prize-winning paintings, prints, drawings, and decorative arts are in numerous corporate and private collections.
Welcome New Artist!
Ashley Delaney
Ashley Delaney is a mixed-media artist based in Chattanooga, TN. Working primarily with found and recycled items, she begins by collecting materials that resonate with her.
“I see each item as carrying its own energy and story. My work is a continuous conversation and collaboration with the creatives that came before me. This approach not only honors the love and craftsmanship of prior use but also reduces waste, helping to keep my art sustainable. I invite viewers to see the magic in change and the possibilities that lie in transformation.”
Ashley Delaney earned her BFA in Theatrical Design with a focus on costuming from Abilene Christian University in 2008. In 2021, she was accepted as an artist at The Center for Contemporary Arts in Abilene, Texas, where she was featured in a nationally juried exhibition. Delaney’s work has been shown in two juried shows at AVA and has found its way into collections as far away as Austria.
