Hello all!
As a part of our continuing “Wine and Art series”, Links Bridge Vineyards will host an exhibit of Watercolors by Chris Carr (1969—2018) in our tasting room from October 19 through November 3. The exhibit is open Saturdays and Sundays from 11am to 6pm and by appointment on the weekdays.
Chris Carr’s art legacy lives on through continued art shows and festivals, gallery showings and sales of prints, but also through The Chris Carr Fine Arts and Graphic Design Scholarship established through Frederick Community College Foundation. All proceeds from sales of Chris’s work from this exhibit go directly to this wonderful scholarship to help deserving art students hone their craft.

A Frederick Maryland native, Chris Carr learned much of his craft while a student at Gov.
Thomas Johnson High School. It was there he first met and became a student of the renowned watercolor painter Barry Richardson. After years of working as a graphic designer for newspapers, including The Frederick News Post and The Washington Post, Chris began focusing more on his painting skills. With each new painting, he further developed his talent at creating photo-like watercolor images through meticulous attention to detail. Focusing on images of days gone by, including historic buildings and structures, town scenes, churches, old cars, trucks, and tractors. Chris’s realistic depictions, which could take anywhere from a couple of weeks to a few months to complete, draw attention at art festivals and galleries all over the region. His works are in private collections and businesses across the country.

As you take a tour around the tasting room to view Chris’s pictures, you’ll also see paper flower creations by Michelle Carr. Michelle is Chris’s sister and an accomplished artist in her own right. These flowers and other creations will amaze you with their realism and beauty.
A reception will be held in the Links Bridge tasting room on Saturday, October 19 from 1-4pm. Present to greet visitors will be Dee Carr, Chris Carr’s mother, and sister Michelle Carr, creator of the paper flowers on exhibit. Light refreshments will be served, and wine is available for purchase.
Y’all come!
