SPACE at Magnuson: the Artist Trust frontier
The word is out: Wednesday evening is Artist Trust at Large/Seattle presentation night! In case you missed it, here are the details:
Some have RSVP'd from the far corners of Seattle, while others are literally just steps away. SPACE at Magnuson is housed in a building full of artist studios.
Visitors to artist Heather Carr's studio, as seen during Open Studio day in May 2015.
If you can't make it to Magnuson Park, please email me at the Contact Me link and I'll put you on an RSVP list for a later ATAL presentation. Looking forward to sharing this information with you soon!
Can you help me find my studio?
I'm starting to feel like my studio is a far-off land I'm trying to get to, but all the flights there have been delayed indefinitely.
Thank goodness for Fresh Paint's requirement that you either demo or make art.
That's how I got started on three altered books. Here's where I left off on one:
Visitors to my Fresh Paint festival booth examine a book I altered before their eyes.
More details soon... I gotta catch that plane to Studio Land.
Getting schooled
How can you feel like you have too much homework when you're not even in school anymore?
Lots of firsts at our house:
- The Boy started his first year of middle school
- TwoBoo started first grade
- I'm no longer driving anyone to a day care center -- for the first time in ten years
Every trip is taking maybe ten minutes more because I keep missing turns. Both schools sent home stacks of paperwork for ME to fill out. And my job, that art thing?
I'm up to my ears in meetings about art. Applications about art exhibitions. Other computer-related stuff about art. Art stuff, but not making art. Which is sometimes part of the job.
Art business consultant Alyson Stanfield has some useful suggestions on how to deal with overwhelm, which I really need to work on this month. So I'm going to spend a long weekend in planning mode... and somehow, making something.
