Gateway to Stardom Winners
September 2, 2010
After three weeks of intensive auditioning, the winners of the Gateway to Stardom have been chosen to perform at this year’s Riverfest event. Judges, Kelly Maselli, Art Conn, Rene Ross, Justin Byrk, Samantha Maselli and Chris Monholland, saw talented youngsters from age 6 to 21, sing and dance their way through the audition process to be named to perform for the annual event.
Maselli of Gateway Realty and Investment Group, started the Gateway to Stardom several years ago to showcase the young talent of Clarksville. Raising two teenage daughters, her house was quite often filled with talented younsters who she felt needed a venue to be seen and heard. Since Gateway Realty has sponsored a stage each year for Riverfest, Maselli felt compelled to give these talented young people that much needed outlet. [Read more]

Mary’s Music Store re-opens their main floor location
July 2, 2010
During the Great Flood of 2010 in May, Mary’s Music like most Riverside Drive businesses was under several feet of water. This resulted in several hundred thousand dollars in damage both to their extensive stock of merchandise, and to their building on the corner of College Street and Riverside Drive. After the flood they received cleanup help from the volunteers, including a group of Soldiers from Fort Campbell, KY.

Supporting the arts in our city
June 6, 2010
A comment made by someone at Thursday’s art walk struck me as really quite insightful, they pointed out just how much the arts community in Clarksville, TN has grown.
Indeed with events like the First Thursday Art Walk, the Customs House Museum, the D.A.C. Gallery, the new APSU Downtown Gallery, Jammin’ in the Alley, Beachaven’s Jazz on the Lawn, Silke’s Old World Bread’s Evening with the Artist, the professional performances conducted by the Roxy Regional Theatre, the Community Concert Association’s Concert Series, Rivers & Spires, Riverfest, and the many events sponsored by the APSU Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts, they have a point!
