Local Events and Updates
As I sit in the most comfortable leather chair ever made I notice that I have yet to update this week. Then I realize I haven’t had time to do even the simplest of chores seeing as if I’m not at work I’m at the mural trying to finish up. It’s been a very very very busy few weeks but hopefully I can be more attentive after finishing on Lawn Street this week.
First some local events of interest:
If you haven’t checked out the current show at Moxie Dada, then get your butt up to 1416 Arch Street on the North Side and see ‘Ardent Heart.’ The paintings by Joshua Hogan are very powerful and thoughtfully created – very much worth checking out. Also Moxie Dada sports a little store with lots of great pieces of art both functional and decorative that make creative gifts for Christmas. Check out their website for hours and other info.
Also if you haven’t checked out the little artist collective up in Bellevue do so! Creative TreeHouse is always having events so hit up their website and make the trip out there – it’s not that far.
Another place celebrating glass this year is the Society for Contemporary Craft. A friend of mine just recently got a job here which is how I discovered this little place in the Strip District on Smallman Street. Transformation 6 is the current show featuring glass work by contemporary sculptors. The show ends the 24th of this month so make sure to get a look while you still can. After this show is Gerry Denin and his ceramic work including some interesting teapots. Then they will be hosting Nick Cave – a fiber artist from Chicago – and his ’sound suits’ opening on the 7th of December. this gallery also features a store with some great items for the upcoming holiday.
As far as myself and my own work the mural should be finished by the end of this coming week, (photos coming soon.) Then it’s back to my studio above Moxie Dada and my panel paintings. I have two going so far and they feature my funky charters that some of you are familiar with in disturbing but colorful environments. They’re small, (largest one is 8″x12″) so it will be a nice change from working on a huge mural outside.
More Later.
