Immerse yourself in an extraordinary installation featuring a majestic 22-foot mahogany bar adorned with 13 life-size characters. Delve into the evocative world of Dowd's "27 Club" series through 13 large pastel drawings, alongside a collection of sculptures and paintings that illuminate the illustrious career of Jack Dowd.

The mahogany bar, meticulously designed and built by Jack Dowd and his assistant, his son Jon Dowd, comprises 26 pieces and incorporates cutting-edge lighting and sound systems. The creation of 13 life-size characters and the construction of the 22x10x14-foot bar stand as a labor of love and a pinnacle achievement in Dowd's illustrious fifty-plus-year career as an artist.

The installation emerged over two years and was finalized in early 2001. The sculpture debuted at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in a two-month exhibition later that year.

The event is free. We can meet inside the front door of the gallery
