the deadline to enter the art and wine festival as an artist, has been extended to July 19. Festival is in August, and you can enter as a group of artists to display, just contact Kadie to find out how. jim

It was nice to win those two recent awards at Mistlin for the Spring Show, got enough money to pay the deposit fee to enter the August 16 Modesto Art and Wine Festival, but if you haven't gotten notice of what it takes to enter as an artist this year, here's the new set of fees, fresh from the email adobe file, and its onerous.

Lori Snable's work won best of show, and I've seen it, was my favorite among entries as I walked in, but may be subject to People's Choice award, in case you hit voting spot at Mistlin's Gala tonight for Spring Show, or during show run. Kate Jackson won category where I'm in with two.

Like $4 a gallon gas, expenses in our local art world got a kick skyward, with this week's The Paint Rag, (which you can get email or in print with $55 membership with Central California Art Association membership) that last years free entry with deposit of $55 to $150 refundable if you stay all twelve hours, with ten percent commission, to $100 entry fee, $250 deposit, and fifteen percent this year. Gallery does need the money, but with $75 in for the Spring Show entry of five paintings, only three in, just one freebie to "black tie optional" opening gala, otherwise $25 to add to entourage, and I don't do tux or black tie, more street person..... this might be an opt out art and wine fest for me. As for buy tickets to gala, where I'd settle for lottery door prize of free entry to art and wine fest, its May 9, opening night and when they award the prizes on Spring Show.

Downtown Famer's Market will be doing art spot with the market, June 14. Call for artists slated to end April 17, get those reservations for $30 spot in.

National Poetry Month, so we added Do Dirty, frequent Slam on Rye poet, and winner of the Second Wednesday event, this month sponsored and theme by Havens Womens Center. Poets welcome to drop by the State for art walk.

maps to come, but note, a bunch of them available, maybe even Salsa tickets, or stop by 80s retro, but here includes some new myspace links to third thursday venues.
