It's a good sign when a colony grows.   That's exactly what's happening to Mount Dora's thriving artist colony. 6th Avenue Studios opened in October and brought nine additional artists into downtown Mount Dora.

Central Florida artists Christine Peloquin and Heather Earnest had been looking for a building in the area for over a year.   

"After a few places in Eustis fell through, we came upon this building. We were so excited," said Peloquin.  The historic house, located at 133 W. 6th Avenue,  was already set for studio spaces, as well as a teaching space for workshops.

Word of the studio traveled fast and it took just six weeks to jury and sign seven more artists.   There is now a waiting list of seven more, according to Peloquin.

Peloquin specializes in bold mixed media, painting and drawing while Earnest focuses on watercolor and mixed-media painting.  The other Central Florida artists include Cindy Anderson, a surrealist painter; Jennifer Ball, a local painter and print maker; Gretchen Bies, a mixed-media painter; Joyce Crabtree, a local weaver; Jan Krassner, a mixed-media jewelry artist; Linda Hastings, a painter; and Michael Hawthorne who specializes in drawing.

The artists plan for 6th Avenue Studios to be open for all art-related events in Mount Dora, including Mount Dora Arts Festival and downtown's monthly Art Splash on the second Friday of every month.   Some of the artists will also be holding monthly workshops for the public.  Private viewings with any of the artists are always available by appointment.  To set an appointment at Peloquin’s studio call  407-620-4350.
