June 3 First Friday

Well-now that the sunny weather has left us it is time to get on the computer and let you know a few of our happenings at the Studio.

We are preparing for First Friday again. In addition to the Gallery and resident Artist's works- you will also be able to tour the "back side" of Upstairs Studio, meaning it is time for another popular Open Studio Night! Our working artist spaces will be open for you to see and contact with the artists
in their spaces. This is a great way to gain a better appreciation of the Artists and their processes.
Not to mention some of the studios are filled with really cool creative things and tools.

We will also be hosting local Artist KC Crowley. He will be showing a new body of work that he describes as a visual love peom.  It is a show of printed linocuts titled "An Irreverent Raven".
KC donated the linoleum tiles for our current Art challenge and taught a workshop on linocut
printing last Saturday at the Studio-Thanks!

Some of the Studio Artists have challenged each other to do "Daily Drawings". The "rules" are 6 x 4 inches or smaller, 5 drawings completed a week. It is a great way to sharpen your drawing skills and keep creativity flowing. Erin Osinkosky and Wendy Gingell will be showing some of their drawings this first friday-should be really amazing to see them. Their work complement each other with their quirky creatures (often monsters), Wendy's black and white, Erin with soft colors and graphite.
