Join us for an art walk in The Cloud
Remember being able to go outside whenever you wanted? Yeah… good times. Paradoxically, though, being shut in this Friday means you can jump from your place to Gallery One and my studio in less than a minute.
At 6:15pm PST tonight, Gallery One hosts the virtual opening reception for the artists of “Between the Fold.” Ed Marquand and I will participate in the comment section, as the jurors of this book arts group exhibit. But that’s not all…
… come over to my studio and I’ll show you where I made the work for my exhibit “Never the Same Book Twice.” (I cleaned up ‘specially for you and everything.) So this evening, I’m inviting you to take a walk in the cloud: not through a bunch of internet servers and databases… we’re going to the online version of First Friday Ellensburg. See you there!
Spring (exhibits) will be a little late this year
Thanks to COVID-19, my upcoming solo show is down but not out. Good news: “Never the Same Book Twice” will be open for two months instead of one! My show will be up during April and May.
And here’s the bad news: Social distancing has forced Gallery One to reschedule the opening reception, from April 3rd to May 1st. Same for “Between the Fold,” the book arts show running in concert with my show. HOWEVER…!
When the doors reopen, we’re going to award $800 in prizes to “Between the Fold” artists. So… delayed, yeah — but on the upside, NOT CANCELED outright like the gallery’s weekend workshops. Adjust your calendars accordingly. In the meantime, here’s something you can do right now to support Gallery One: please consider becoming a gallery member or making a donation. Spaces like this one are vital to artists like me who make unconventional, sometimes challenging work.
How much time do you have left?
I’ve calculated exactly how much time you have left, down to the very last day.
The deadline to apply to “Between the Fold” is in nine days. In other words, you have two weekends plus a full work week to finish your book art and submit your application. Then it’s up to the jurors — me and Mighty Tieton co-founder Ed Marquand — to choose the stand-out artworks. All right, we’ve chatted enough. Upload your work and press send — it’s later than you think….
