Michael Ripper, artist in downtown Kingsport and owner of Ripper Arts Studio and Gallery on Market Street, works on a commissioned piece of art through Urban Synergy to beautify the downtown area on a building at 115 Market Street. Ripper specializes in furniture woodworking and pottery and shares a studio across the street with artist and wife Talina Ripper and painter Cindy Saadeh. The building pictured is on sale as a restaurant or retail business space. You can call Urban Synergy at 423-367-3184 or log on to urbansynergy.net.

While at a shoot for Kidspo a couple weeks ago, local artist Suzanne Barrett Justis gave me the lowdown on an exciting new event coming to downtown Kingsport.
