“Figure it Out (an art event)” hosted a modest crowd of local artists and art enthusiasts at Eighth & Rail Monday night. The show displayed original work from various local artists including paintings from two next generation artists.

Frank, 7, and Georgia Thompson, 5, proudly displayed their young talents on the walls along with the rest of the artists. Jeremy Morgan, a featured artist in the show and a family friend, said their parents are very encouraging to seek out expression.

“The most intriguing thing about it is that they are very artistically inclined even though neither one of them knew they were,” said Morgan.

Morgan noticed Frank and Georgia’s drawings and doodles around their house from visiting their parents and saw the opportunity with “Figure it Out” to show children’s art in a formal setting.

Michael Acuff, the producer of “Figure it Out,” said the show was a great way to display the talent in the area.

“I thought it was a good show,” said R.C. Hagans, a local artist.

The artwork displayed at the event will remain on the walls at Eighth & Rail in historic downtown Opelika and is available for purchase every night the bar is open for business including live events.
