Artists At Work

We've mentioned it before, but after conducting a demo at the American Crafts Council show, and seeing other artists share their processes, it bears repeating....get out of your studio - and into another! 

I for one, am intrigued to get out and see more artists at work.

A great way to do this is with the Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower Open Studio Day.

Talented artists open their studios for visitors to enjoy their artwork and have the opportunity to purchase original pieces.

During this monthly event, guests can get an up-close view of artists’ workspace, and artistic creations including oil and acrylic paintings, photographs, sculptures, mixed media and more. 

In addition, Unexpected Theater performs short plays and monologues at 2pm in the Studio 11 Theater, located on the 11th floor.

Tours are available for those interested in viewing the historic tower and its new renovations. 
Open Studio Day Schedule:
Saturday, March 5 from 1-5pm
Saturday, April 2 from 1-5pm
Saturday, May 14 from 1-5pm
Thursday, June 2 from 6-9pm

Plush You 2009!

As I write, I am "work-cationing" in Seattle; jointly enjoying hang time with my brother & sister and joining my brothers-in-plush arms at Plush You 2009! I can't wait for tonight, for the opening, where I'll finally be able to put faces with the names of all the amazing plush artists I've only met online, and to reunite with artists I've met at Plush Yous past... no doubt, all of the submissions will be innovative and beautiful. I imagine everyone participating put very careful thought into the planning and creation of their plush works of art, and i was no exception.

Yes, if you're gonna hang in an internationally reknown show such as this, you don't go into it lightly. So, after much thought planning, I came up with these three OoAKies (who, for those who like collecting random trivia, are based loosely on myself, my brother & my sister... they'll put it together tonight!).

.... so here they are! These three OoAKies are making their debut at Schmancy this evening. If you're in Seattle, be sure to come out for the party and get your hands on some AMAZING plush from all over the world (and Baltimore). wink wink.
