In The Gallery
Artwork from the private collection of David Gulley and Ken Paul
March – April
The Plainfield Guilford Township Public Library invites the community to a special Gallery Art Reception on Saturday, March 22, from 2 to 4pm at 1100 Stafford Rd., Plainfield, IN. This event celebrates the shared art collection of David Gulley and Kenneth J. Paul Jr., offering a glimpse into their passion for collecting.
David Gulley’s appreciation for art began in childhood, influenced by his parents’ displayed artworks and an early visit to an art auction with his father. His love for collecting deepened after seeing the personal collection of his high school art teacher’s mother. Ken Paul’s journey started with buying reproductions to decorate his residence at the time. He also found joy in preserving and reviving family heirloom artworks.
Together, David and Ken expanded their collection by exploring galleries across Indiana, with a special fondness for the Brown County Art Guild and Brown County Art Gallery. It was at the Indiana Heritage Art Show, introduced by their dear friend Libby Givan Whipple, that they truly immersed themselves in the art world. More than just acquiring beautiful pieces, they cherish the friendships they’ve built with artists, whose immense talent and stories are reflected in the works they collect.
Join us for an afternoon of art, conversation, and inspiration. This reception is free and open to the public.
