It’s Circus Nerve Day!!! The happiest of all days! \o/

The opening’s today from 3-8, but the show itself runs until June.

Come to the show.  All the cool kids are doing it.

So, yeah, that’s the series so far.  There’s more pieces coming, probably for the next quarter at the ARTgarage.

Oh, also, I build a knitty knotty today out of PVC pipe. <–Melissa from Hellp Purl has one; that’s where I got the idea.

And, if y’all are looking for something to do this Friday:

Come to Circus Nerve.  You know you want to. *wriggles fingers tentacles hypnotically*

Courage.

Tonight is Gallery Nite!

All you lucky, lucky people.  Gallery Nite!  Snacks and booze and trolleys taking y’all to the different Green Bay galleries and little artists like me demo-ing for your perusal.

A magical, magical time.

…

Okay, maybe not magical, but who can argue with the combination of art and booze?

So, come on by and see me.  I’ll be at the ARTgarage demo-ing spinning, yo.  The ARTgarage is having an Artists’ Market, like a mini-Crafting Cartel, and I’ll have books and roving and my drop-spindle, and a theoretically cheery disposition. <–Today’s already been irritating and it’s not even noon.

I’LL GET BETTER I PROMISE!

Ahem.  Where were we?  Oh, right, Gallery Nite.  It’s from 5-8 this evening.  Start at any gallery you chose and hop the trolley to the next.

It’s like a pub crawl but with art!  <–It’s like the least expensive, most interesting date that y’all could ever hope for.

And, while I’m here shilling for The Art Man, have I mentioned I have an opening for a group show coming up?  I have?  It bears repeating, don’t ya think?

It’s vera, vera exciting.

Courage and ART FOR ALL!

slacker=me

Okay, not really.

I’ve been running around with job interviews, tiny plantlings, making a new piece for Circus Nerve, and fighting off weather-induced migraines.

My life, it is full.

So, this week’s post is about half done (mostly because I forgot I have 30 images that I needed to, ya know, process).

To tide y’all over: Live Action Angry Birds movie trailer (not real unfortunately).

a love letter to the ARTgarage by gbartlover

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

 

This post was really nice to read, especially since I’m one of the studio artists at the ARTgarage. <–Really.  I make the disturbingly kawaii creatures that look like they might be interested in nom-ing people’s heads off…and other things.

 

Loads of other things.

 

*whistles*

 

So, go read the post, and in the New Year, come by the ARTgarage and see all the shenanigans. –>  Help Make the ARTgarage the Central Place for the Arts in Green Bay!.

 

As 2011 comes to an end, I have been contemplating what my New Year’s resolution will be for 2012.  I thought of the normal things, such as weight loss, exercise, giving up cheese (which will never, ever happen!), etc.  But none of them rang true…and I kept coming back to the same thought that I truly miss being plugged into the arts in Green Bay.  It has been three months since I’ve been unemployed by the non-profit arts world, but I still have this burning passion to help grow the arts in our community.

 

In my 5 past years as an Arts Administrator, I watched with great hope as the ARTgarage started out through grass roots efforts of some very devoted and talented folks.  As their website explains:

 

“Two art majors at the University of  Wisconsin – Green Bay didn’t want to lose the energizing ‘art studio experience’ once graduated. They shared their vision for working studios and a gallery with the owners of The Cannery on Olde Main in October 2005. By March 17, 2006, the ARTgarage was open.”

 

 

 

The ARTgarage is located in a 4,000 square foot space that used to be a cannery loading dock, which makes the space the perfect setting for art display and activities with its brick walls, cement floors and high ceilings!  Today, the ARTgarage is blossoming into the art central, place-to-be in Green Bay.  Their mission is encourage an appreciation for and participation in the visual, performing and literary arts.

 

The ARTgarage has a lot to offer the arts enthusiast!  Seven individual studio spaces feature talented, local artists who are eager to talk with visitors about their creative process.  Over 20 artists display their work in the gallery in all mediums.  The ARTgarage also hosts First Saturday Performances each month offering all performing arts, including music, poetry and vaudeville.  Classes are offered for adults and children, some through its partnership with NWTC and some through the ARTgarage artists themselves.  Art forums and community events are also offered at the ARTgarage as the Cannery offers a large space for gatherings.  Finally, the ARTgarage has a fabulous gift shop where you can find one-of-a-kind pieces for friends, family or even for yourself!

 

 

The ARTgarage is a welcoming neighbor to the diverse populations within our community and proudly displays “Everyone Welcome” on their front door.  Join me in helping make the ARTgarage the central place for the arts in Green Bay!  How can you help?  Go to their website, sign up for their newsletter, go to their weekly events, visit the gallery once a month, sign up for a class, sign up your kids for a Summer Art Workshop, reserve the space in Studio B for your next gathering/seminar/meeting, buy a gift at their gift shop, and tell your friends about this wonderful gem we have right here in the Olde Main Street District of Green Bay! Watch for the upcoming “Art Meets Heart:  Juried Art Exhibit” to open on Thursday, February 2nd at 12 Noon, followed by the opening reception from 6 to 9 pm. Exhibit closes  on Saturday, February 29th at 6 pm.

 

The ARTgarage is located at 1400 Cedar Street in the Cannery Building, Green Bay, WI 54301.  Their phone number is (920) 448-6800 or you can email them at info@theartgarage.org.  Their website is a “gold mine” of information at http://www.theartgarage.org.  Gallery hours:   Tuesdays 12-6, Wednesdays 12-6, Thursdays 12-8, Fridays 12-6, Saturdays 12-4 (Closed Saturday, December 31st for New Year’s Eve).

 

Don’t let me down fellow arts friends!  I am counting on you!  Hope to see you there!

 

P.S.  Photo credits to the talented photographer who took them for the ARTgarage website!  Cheers!

 

Courage.

playing catch-up like I do

So, I have been woefully remiss in posting the last week. I have been sick, sick, sick. <–I still have the cough, actually. But! There's nothing like a mega-dose of antibiotics to set one right.

 

Or a pint of tequila.

 

Your mileage may vary. *shrugs*
 
So, one of the things that was missed in last week's dead, dead, deadski squid was that October 15th had been the 4th Quarter Artists Reception/Demo Night at the ARTgarage.
 
Here are a few pictures.
 

 
This is Heather Peterman working diligently.
 

 
The amazing Jennifer Aldrich contemplating her next step paint-wise.
 

 
Adam Fulwiler. The youngest of the gallery artists.
 

 
And, me! Finishing off a piece. Yes, my name tag is on my back.
 
It was a fairly successful night. It kinda had low attendance, but that had more to do with the 15 other events going on in Green Bay that night.
 
The November 17th Demo Night will be better since it coincides with Gallery Night. <–See what I did there? Letting y'all know when both the next Gallery Night and the next Demo Night are? Clever, clever me.
 
…I think all the coughing is making me a bit sillier than usual, which is totally saying something. *whistles*
 
Okay, I totally owe y'all a Branding conversation, and believe or not, I really do have it ready to go, but I'm also getting tired and coughing and need to go take some more drugs, so I think I shall leave you with the pictures and anticipation in your little hearts.
 
I.e., I'm totally doing a secondary post tomorrow.
 
Don't forget that y'all can get your Art Meets Heart canvases at the ARTgarage or Trade Winds. If I remember correctly, the deadline for the canvases has been moved to the middle of November.
 
And! There’s also a juried competition coming up in conjunction with Art Meets Heart! \o/
 
Okay, calendar time.
 

Artist Books: A Bookmaking Workshop–November 11th-12th $150.00

Bookmaking techniques and artist books! \o/

 

Artists’ Demo-ing Night–November 17th

Same sitch (yes, I did use “sitch”) as the other one.

 

Artist Dolls–November 18th-19th $150.00

Really, this is ‘Lain’s gig; I’m just co-teaching.

 

Black Friday Mixed Media for Kids Class–November 25th

Co-taught with the fabulous Miss Carrie. Bring your kids to be babysat to learn about and make mixed media art while you get some peace and quiet some Yule/Christmas/Kwanzaa/Hanukkah/Saturnalia/insert-your-holy-day-here shopping done.

 

Artists’ Demo-ing Night (I really hope we come up with a better title soon.)–Decemeber 15th, 5-8 pm

This Demo Night happens during the ARTgarage’s annual Holiday Sale/Show, so it’s a double header.

 

Miss ‘Lain is also teaching a couple of other classes that I’m kinda helping out with (Mostly so that I can take the class without paying for it! Don’t tell!).

Circuit Bending 101–October 28th $60.00

Puppetry–December 2nd and 9th $150

 
Until tomorrow.
 
Courage.

pictures and thoughts and things

…are you trying to steal my unicorn?

 

Okay, I was just watching Bitchin’ Kitchen, so that’s what’s with the stealing the unicorn.  *whistles*

 

I’m still feeling under the weather, so I’m just going to say that IQ’s Fall Art Reception was a load of fun and Mother Nature plotted against us with unseasonably warm weather–which, when you like in a place that has as much winter as we do, no one stays inside when it’s unseasonably warm.

 

Unless, you’re a crazy artist under a deadline.

 

*beat*

 

Anyway, it was fantastic, and I hope that Miss Heather invites me to play again.  Here are the pictures I took.

 

Heather Peterman’s Art: Fantastically bright, almost stained glass-like. A unique aesthetic that has a touch of psychedelic, black light posters in it.

 

Y’all know that you want a piece of her work–whether it’s fiber-based, a print, or an original painting–do yourselves a favor and get yourselves some Heather art. <–And excuse me and my fever-addled cracktasticness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shelly Fuchs: A little dark, a little sexy, a whole lot of awesome. And! She has a giant giraffe as part of her display.

 

 

 

 

Sara DeRuyter of Eleven Moon Art: Colorful, geometric, and fun. This was Sara first time out too. We were nervous together.

 

 

 

 

Jacy Petersen (here’s her photography page): Organic, touchable, and visually rich. We totally had an art trade!

 

 

 

 

 

And, me! <–Katrina (‘Trie) Blasingame:

 

 

 

 

There were also a couple of guys that I didn’t get pictures of their stuff. Next time.

 

So, I haven’t forgotten the Branding conversation; I just haven’t been well enough to be completely thinky about it. It has, however, returned to one of my least favorite rants: artists’ pricing of their time and work–or, really, their under-pricing.

 

I haven’t forgotten, I swear.

 

So, here’s the currently updated calendar:

Story Beads: Beading to Heal–September 30th $30.00

The ARTgarage has a class cooperative with St. Vinny’s, and this class is being offered through that program. This class is also totally based upon one that I took with Lisa Kay a couple of years ago. She’s totally as awesome as you’d think she’d be winning a Fulbright. Share the love!

 

So, I had one person signed up for this class, but we had such a good time, I think! Definitely going to see about doing this again in the Spring–maybe as more of a series of “come and learn; come back to hang out and work together!”

 

“Visualizing Your Hopes and Dreams”: An Art Night for Freedom House–October 3rd, 6-8 pm

It’s basically an art class being taught for the families that Freedom House helps out.

 

Kelly and I had about 10 people (though 2 were too small to do more than run around) plus Freedom House’s coordinator-lady Robyn (who is totally awesome). We all had a good time, one student tried drawing for the first time in her life, and I made a new friend.

 

Studio Tour–October 7th, 12-6 at the ARTgarage

It’s really Chris Style’s studio tour, but all the ARTgarage studio artists were invited to join the fun. This tour happens the 8th and 9th also, but I’m only going to be there the 7th and the 9th.

 

Bay Area Watercolor Artists Opening–October 7th, 5-8 at the ARTgarage

Not necessarily my art scene, but ya know, I’m still gonna be supportive!

 

 

IQ’s Fall Art Reception–October 8th

3-8 pm at IQ’s Bar 2105 University Ave., Green Bay

 

Studio Tour–October 9th, 12-5 at the ARTgarage

Same sitch, different day.

 

4th Quarter Artists Opening Reception AND the first Artists’ Demo-ing Night (hip name yet to be chosen)–October 13th

5-8 pm at the ARTgarage. The Artists’ Demo-ing Night is something new that we’re trying, so if you’re an artist in the Green Bay area, come to Demo Night! We all aren’t ARTgarage artists either, and we’re willing to share our windfall awesomeness!

 

Japanese Stab Binding: Books to Heal–October 14th $30.00

Also, a St. Vinny’s class. <–This is looking like it's going to be cancelled. *SAD*

 

Artist Books: A Bookmaking Workshop–November 11th-12th $150.00

Bookmaking techniques and artist books! \o/

 

Artists’ Demo-ing Night–November 17th

Same sitch (yes, I did use “sitch”) as the other one.

 

Artist Dolls–November 18th-19th $150.00

Really, this is ‘Lain’s gig; I’m just co-teaching.

 

Black Friday Mixed Media for Kids Class–November 25th

Co-taught with the fabulous Miss Carrie. Bring your kids to be babysat to learn about and make mixed media art while you get some peace and quiet some Yule/Christmas/Kwanzaa/Hanukkah/Saturnalia/insert-your-holy-day-here shopping done.

Circuit Bending 101–October 28th $60.00

Puppetry–December 2nd and 9th $150

 

…really, how much do y’all think a class should be?

 

I’m out.

 

Courage.

 

studio update

I’ve been being kinda cagey about what’s been going on in the studio, and I haven’t meant to be.  Just too much crazy lately to be chatty. <–Okay, I’ve been chatty, but it’s also been coming out as chatty spaz.

 

And, more often than not, half in squid.

 

…

 

Yeah, I have my own language.

 

So, studio.  I recently took a class with the amazing Ahliah Zia Shashonah, and between her and Miss ‘Lain, my sewing machine phobia is well on it’s way to abatement.  \o/  Do y’all know how long it takes to hand-sew my unnamed friends?  This is going to be so, so, so helpful.

 

…okay, the scrump are still going to have to be hand-sewn because that’s part of their concept/process, but everything else is going to be sewn with the sewing machine!  *bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha*

 

…

 

For mine is an evil laugh.

 

…

 

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

I’ve also been learning to spin my own yarn.

 

roving=my new crack

 

Well, roving and Tazo Passion tea (hibiscus/blood orange tea).  *whistles*

 

So, because my friend Hel is awesome-upon-awesome and made me drop spindle, gave me roving, taught me to spin, and generally makes certain I get to the Shawano Weavers’ Guild meeting (’cause I still don’t know the area very well yet), she gets an unnamed friends plushie.  The first machine sewn one, in fact–unnamed friends:  fungoid owlet.

 

 

Additionally, an admirer of my work asked me why I just don’t sign my pieces with a tree since most people call me ‘Trie.  I, after some thinking about, really like the idea.  Plus, my last name?  Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to fraking long for a play.  <–a little paraphrase Love’s Labors Lost for y’all. *is a recovering Shakespeare-dork*

 

 

…it even sorta looks like my initials.

 

I also sold a couple of piece on Saturday.  Nothing big and expensive, but enough to pay my studio rent at the ARTgarage with enough left over for a cuppa chai or Passion tea.

 

That reminds me.  My art and I are going to be at IQ’s Fall Art Reception on October 8th from 3-8 pm.  Heather Peterman invited me to participate, and I can’t tell Heather no; she’s too awesome.

 

So come, drink, and buy art!

 

Here’s my Calendar of Up Coming Appearances and Teaching (I need to figure out how to insert a permanent Google calendar into the blog, I think):

 

Story Beads:  Beading to Heal–September 30th    $30.00

Puppetry–December 2nd and 9th    $150

 

So, I think that y’all are caught up…oh, wait.  There’s some more.

 

The last bits and bobs that haven’t been said in the update:

• I have a ton of new unnamed friends that y’all can see on my Flickr.
• I haven’t heard anything from my interview yet, so we’re all just going to have to hold our collective britches and wait.
• I haven’t taken new pictures of the studio yet because it’s still a wreck, just a more organized wreck.
• The preliminary returns are back on the Marathon for Literature, and it looks like the ARTgarage made over $2000 dollars for the ARTgarage and over $1000 for Literacy Green Bay. \o/

 

Okay, now I think that’s everything.  It’s been busy, yeah?

 

Courage.

*impotent tentacles of fury*

*insert rant about Apple and their outrageous prices on, oh, just about everything and the irritating-to-enraging AT&T/Verizon 3G option for the iPad rather than it being an ad-hoc-wifi user like everything else on the fricking planet*

 

Okay, that’s maybe a gross over-generalization, but–come on!–all hail the open source revolution!  Either get on the boat or hop on the lifeboat, and stop making all of us completely nuts already. kthxbai

 

/rant <–for now, at any rate

 

So, that actually wasn’t what I was planning on posting about this week (neither was it being Sunday before the real post was written–I mean, seriously folks, how did that happen?–but it’s been a rough last week+ *hands*).

 

I was going to open the floor to a discussion of  the artist persona and societal acceptance thereof as well as tell y’all what classes I’m teaching this Fall at the ARTgarage and how SAW went.

 

Let us begin with SAW.

 

Quite possibly the most awesome concept ever (except for the entire lack of real classroom space and lack of sinks).  I was co-teaching Painting and Mixed Media with Dark Carrie (we have a lot of Carries at the ARTgarage; Sandys too).  We had 12 students who ranged in age from 6 to 9.

 

Handful.  Thy name is kids between 6 and 9.  *is exhausted from the mere thought of them*

 

But, I must admit, they totally made awesome work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We completed (more or less) 6 projects:  Sample Media Books, Mixed Media Assemblages, Mixed Media Sewing Assemblages, Concentric Shape Studies, Art/Music Composition Studies, and an Impromptu Weaving Experiment.  We also introduced several (like loads) of different types of media with an accompanying conversation about how anything can be an art medium, artist introductions (Kandinsky mostly, but also Joseph Cornell, Nick Cave, Mandy Greer, and Joan Miro), a gallery walk (in the ARTgarage), an explanation about how artists price their work, a talk about how art is never really finished, and a talk about working around the unexpected during art-making.

 

Really, any place that says “a talk” insert “repeated at least 7 times”.

 

That’s a lot of stuff to do in 3 hours a day for 5 days.  That was all accomplished in just 15 hours!  It’s very exciting.

 

I totally think I’m going to be doing this again next year.  It’s kinda like giving birth, I think:  it’s horrific to go through, but you kinda forget/romanticize/drugs kick in; then you want to do it again.  Oh, irony.

 

The classes that I’m teaching in the Fall are actually all geared towards more of an older group, but I’ve tried to leave them open as much as possible to a younger audience too (i.e., 12 and up is the age range).

 

I’m going to be teaching

 

Story Beads:  Beading to Heal–September 30th    $30.oo

The ARTgarage has a class cooperative with St. Vinny’s, and this class is being offered through that program.  This class is also totally based upon one that I took with Lisa Kay a couple of years ago.  She’s totally as awesome as you’d think she’d be winning a Fulbright.  Share the love!

 

Japanese Stab Binding:  Books to Heal–October 14th    $30.00

Also, a St. Vinny’s class.

 

Artist Books:  A Bookmaking Workshop–November 11th-12th    $150.00

Bookmaking techniques and artist books! \o/

 

Artist Dolls–November 18th-19th    $150.00

Really, this is ‘Lain’s gig; I’m just co-teaching.

 

Miss ‘Lain is also teaching a couple of other classes that I’m kinda helping out with (Mostly so that I can take the class without paying for it!  Don’t tell!).

 

Circuit Bending 101–October 28th    $60.00

 

Puppetry–December 2nd and 9th    $150

 

So, yeah, I’m going to be a busy little squid.  Dare I say, bee-like?

 

And, I don’t know about the rest of you, but this post is getting into the epic-feeling category.  We’ll leave the artist persona talk until Tuesday.

 

But, a final thought/question:  what do y’all think the artist’s persona has been and is becoming and how has this been fostered/rejected by society?

 

Also, what are some stereotypes of The Artist?

 

Courage.

*waves tentacle* This is not the blog post you are looking for.

Teaching at SAW this week.

 

No brain left to brain with.

 

Writing (and facilitating the writing) of class proposal/flyer thingies for the ARTgarage.

 

Even less brain to brain with.

 

So, I leave you with (post) postmodern silliness.

 

 

Okay, so it’s total crack, but it’s funny crack.

 

Next time (i.e., probably Saturday) on *waves* this blog, the artist persona and societal acceptance thereof.

 

Now, back to your regularly scheduled internet.
