Inspiration at every turn...

I am really enjoying getting to know and working alongside my studio mates in the Fayetteville Underground. Things are really coming together, and it is wonderful thing to be a part of. Studio spaces are filling up! For more information about studios or submitting art for a potential exhibition in one of our galleries please visit the Fayetteville Underground's website, here.

Last night, I attended ArtAmiss X ; a one night only exhibition of local art, music, fashion, and fire; featuring many new and emerging artists. This event just keeps getting better and better. I had a wonderful time talking with many of the artists, enjoying the fashion show along with the projected images on the building outside, fire dancers, and just top notch visual art. Two Thursday nights in a row of excitement and wonderful art. I am very proud of my town for providing these consistent and quality art events.

Today, I want to share this short film by Jeff Desom. Music by Hauschka. A friend posted this to my facebook page and as I watched, I was moved to tears. I think it is a slice of genius. I am so inspired by all the ways people create these amazing new worlds for us to discover and explore through the arts.

Enjoy.

Thursday night is alright with me...

The art scene in my town is alive and well and this makes me extremely happy.

Last night, there were six galleries open on the Fayetteville Square for a thrilling evening of art, drinks, music, laughter, and palpable excitement. In addition to the galleries being open, there were also six artist's studios available for the public to walk through and enjoy. This is just the beginning of something very special and much needed.

Thanks to everyone who came out in support of the artists and galleries. Keep coming back.If you are in the Fayetteville, Arkansas area, know that you can enjoy great art and artists every First Thursday of the month from 5-8pm all conveniently located downtown on the beautiful historic square at The Fayetteville Underground, The DDP gallery and the Four Square Fine Art Gallery.
