Raina Gentry Artist Reception
by Nancy Timper on 02 Jun, 2017 - 0 comments
A warm welcome was given to our current Featured Artist, Raina Gentry, during May’s Fourth Friday ArtWalk at Van Gogh’s Ear, 5/26.
Raina was born and raised in Southern California. As a young adult, she moved to Arizona to attend Prescott College, where she earned a BA degree in Environmental Studies.
However, Raina had often dreamed of becoming an artist, but was reluctant to fully commit to her artwork because of fears about choosing that career path. One day, while browsing through a copy of a roommate’s Griffin and Sabine book, an overwhelming feeling came over her, and she knew she could no longer ignore the yearning inside her.

Kevin Caron STEELS the SHOW

We had such a GREAT time with our featured artist, KEVIN CARON and his lovely wife, Mary on Friday, October 23, 2015. Thank you to all who attended! (Photo above is of Kevin, in orange shirt, and attendees)
The owners of Van Gogh’s Ear are most proud of its history. After spending almost five months renovating the space themselves to accommodate the needs of a large gallery, the ever-versatile owners then constructed all of their own pedestals and display cases!
A year later, the owners were rewarded for their efforts when Arizona governor, Janet Napolitano, presented the architect and gallery owners with a Main Street Award for historic reconstruction of a commercial space.
Giving back to the community has always been an integral part of who we are. Over the past few years we have had the privilege to contribute to the following organizations that have brought needed services and quality of life to our community and Arizona: Prevent Child Abuse AZ, Yarnell Restoration Fund, Prescott Film Festival, Courthouse Lighting Fund, Chalk It Up!, West Yavapai Guidance Clinic Foundation, and Prescott Creeks.
But in the end, it is ensuring honest, open and respectful relationships – whether between owner and artist, manager and employee or business and community – that remains the key to success or failure. Van Gogh’s Ear Gallery prides itself on its continued dedication to those principles and to its collection of top-notch art.
