For the Gazette
PORTAGE COINTY – Jerry Gadamus has spent the last 50-plus years creating his beautiful works of art, wowing his fans and collectors with his life‐like works. Now Jerry has decided that it’s time for a new chapter, and will be retiring, with one final show, to take place at Koerten’s Fine Framing and Gifts, 2501 Church Street, Stevens Point. The show will be held on Nov. 13, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Over 30 original paintings, dozens of limited edition prints and 2 show posters will be available for purchase.
