Riverbank gets a plug from Joey Huestis email, as Rio Arts does second Art Walk and Chalk Walk sidewalk drawing contest. While I'm in the pr release, just told them I'm bringing drawing pad and pens as usual, but Joey Huestis, one of the photographers for Sonora Blues Festival among other things, and I did go out to this one last year. I"m still trying to get the easels back to Mistlin Gallery today, nearly a week after art walk, as had to drop off at Downtown Improvement District, as no room at the State Theatre after we finish art walk event, in case you noticed the gallery wasn't open last couple days. Probably working on those checks to artists who sold at art and wine fest. Farmer's Market art went well, and I'm taking out more of the note cards from my original art to sell in Riverbank, and Pride Festival's Jeff Carnegie caught me over at MJC new media arts center opening, and has a deal for local artists to show with them Sept 27 in Graceada Park. Will post his email next. I missed life drawing last night at Chartreuse Muse, only $10 on Tuesdays.

Modesto Certified Farmers Market will include art and crafters for sale area in the library parking lot, behind the regular organic vegetable and fruit stands on 16th Street, Saturday, August 23, 7 am to noon.

Riverbank Art Walk and Chalk drawing contest comes up August 28, but first its specials for Third Thursday Art Walk. Eric Benson and friends play music for Art Walk, at State Theatre Funky Tim, and 25 venues open for art walk in downtown Modesto.

From Sofie, and the dinner and art auction is this evening, but donations accepted. I have a couple in for this, along with a number other modesto area artists, this is a good cause.

The Note is from Sofie Pettygrove of Act of Kindness, on the art walk next week.

Michelle Uber from Modesto Certified Farmer's Market called today, will be doing a new ART at the Farmer's Market Saturday, August 23, 2008. Art displays will be set up in the Library Parking Lot, is for sale, and looking for artists and crafters for the event.

Note from the Gallery Guru via email. Also note, still time to donate art to CHSS auction in prior blog.

Just a reminder there is still time to submit black and white photographs before the August 8 deadline. The image can be any form of processing - old school, or new. It just has to be black and white and those lovely shades of gray.

Apparently, artists still needed for art and wine festival. email from kadie on this below.

There is still space left! Sign up soon if you would like to show/sell your artwork at the 5th Annual Art and Wine Festival!
