Modern Design and Art Sale this Thursday April 8th

THURSDAY, APRIL 8TH During Downtown Art Walk, in Los Angeles .......7pm to 10pm
deLAB (Design East of La Brea) Presents "Make Time" Show and Sale; in support of local architects, designers and artists.

 

Stop by and see the wonderful wares and such. I will have several little Point Taken Maps available through 5th Floor gallery.

This series, as some of you may know, is called Point Taken, as is a small, yet integral part of the Landmarked Series that I do, regarding the removal of letters on maps.

They create a back and forth with language in the brain, define our sense of place and the fragility of life's fleeting changes.

PLUS -- they are only $38. So there is really no excuse not to have art in your lives.


@ Ball Nogues Studio
410 S. Spring Street

Riverside Arts Council presents local artists + RAM tidbits

The Riverside Arts Council sent out an email for call to artists to display at the Riverside County Administrative Building.
I am pleased to announce that they chose 3 of my pieces for the front entry in the main lobby of the building. You can enter at Lemon Street to see them in person. There are 25 other artists whose work can be seen throughout the building. The work will be there through September.



Thank you Riverside!

A small perk to moving out here is that there are opportunities for artists only in this region, and being that there are less of us here than in LA, the odds of exposure and fruition of ideas is greater. Cool.

I recently met with a small group of dedicated individuals associated with the Riverside Art Museum and a young professionals networking group called PICK. They are in the fruition stage of developing a philanthropic splinter group similar to MOCA Contemporaries.

Being that I am on the board for MC, they asked me to sit in and provide programming ideas, to do's and so on, to get their group started.
I'm kinda excited about it and I think the group I met all have their heads on straight,
are impressive business guys and love art!!!

In brainstorming a name for the group, I suggested Bloom. It would not be an acronym, but just an active-sounding name.
The museum logo incorporates the orange-tree leaves - symbolic of the history of the region, and used in all of the other museum affiliated group logos.
In addition, there is a conceptual meaning -- respecting the roots/history of the museum while representing the new ideas that are blooming all the time....the logo could incorporate orange blossoms to reiterate growth and fresh new outcomes.

The more I think about it, the more I like it!
I wonder what they will choose?
The first event is scheduled for June on the roof of the museum, which just got funding for renovation!
If you live here, Save the Date....
