The Art of Music Art Show w/Ev Niewoehner - Fundraiser for the Nashville Jazz Workshop
Presented by Nashville Jazz Workshop at Nashville Jazz Workshop
Nashville Jazz Workshop is proud to be hosting a new solo exhibition by Nashville-based artist, Ev Niewoehner. Please join us for the opening reception on March 11, 2:00pm-4:00pm. We're big fans of Ev's works, and will be hosting the show from March 1 - May 31, 2012. 50% of profits from the sale will go to benefit NJW.
Ev Niewoehner was born in rural Iowa and at age ten moved with his family to Colorado. He graduated from Fort Collins High School and later earned history degrees from Colorado State University and the University of Northern Colorado. He also studied art at several universities. After teaching at the high school level for four years, he owned and operated an art gallery in Los Angeles. Teaching opportunities brought him to Tennessee where he taught for twenty one years.
In 1999, Niewoehner retired from teaching which allowed him to concentrate on his first love, oil painting, an activity at which he is working full time. Although working with a number of genres, it has been the subject of music which has dominated the bulk of his body of work. Niewoehner has exhibited in a number of galleries and art centers in Los Angeles, New Orleans, Memphis, Birmingham, Atlanta, Rome, GA, Estes Park, CO, Fairhope, AL, and Nashville, where he maintains his studio and home. He has a daughter, who lives in Nashville and is a teacher with Metro schools.
