The "One" reason to visit Ellensburg in April
What’s worth the drive over the hill and through the woods to Ellensburg? I’ll give you a hint…
Gallery One is hosting my upcoming solo art exhibit! “Never the Same Book Twice” will open on April 3rd, in tandem with the group book arts show, “Between the Fold.” Altered books also take precedence in my exhibit — both new and existing work — debuting in the mezzanine gallery.
Seems like everyone has visited Ellensburg except me… so I’ll need a few friends to show me around. Any suggestions of restaurants that would welcome a rampaging pack of art nerds? Let me know here, on Facebook or on Instagram!
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….
Call for art: "Between the Fold"
Gallery One called. They want to see your book art like right now.
The nationwide call for art is live on Gallery One’s website for the April exhibit “Between the Fold.” What The gallery defines book art as:
“the field of art that involves the creation of works using or referring to structural and conceptual properties of books. While an existing book may be altered to create a work, instead of being merely a printed book about art, works in the genre of book arts are intended as artworks themselves.“
I alter existing books; maybe you fold or cut or use paper in some other way. You do you.
Art book publisher Ed Marquand and I will select the works for this exhibit. (You might know Ed as the guy behind the annual 10x10x10xTieton Exhibition.) The entry deadline is February 23rd. Maybe that sounds far away… but it’s only a few weeks to create a piece from scratch if you work slowly like me. Get moving, and show us your book art submissions!
