Maybe Mojo's flickr group, and shootenpicsbob want in on new show, sports theme coming up. Latest email from gallery guru. Photographers' Gallery, great stop to see on Third Thursday Art Walk, especially en route to or after State Theatre. They put out good food,

Live Mural action on Saturday, last day for this show.

The show is up, and ready for bids. Artists preview reception is Friday, and Saturday again. A lot of items of various art, cards, sculpture, photography, paintings, printmaking, african items,

I'll get to what we're showing at Clayton's, and State Theatre. Printmaking is our theme at State Theatre, with Tricia Spenker, Elizabeth Ingebretsen, Rose Sturgill, me, with Adrian Mendoza photography printed on tapestry, and more, with Steve Kenworthy our Music guest, celtic and blues, but here is some more art walk news.

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.

New theme for this month is Black and White at the Photographers' Gallery at 13th and J Street, attached to Camera Center next door. This is nonprofit gallery, has workshops as well, so if into photography, stop in, and check that out too, get on their gallery guru email list, which note below is from. Often think their cuisine on art walk night first rate too.

email note from Act of Kindness,
Thursday, Aug. 21st is the 3rd Thursday Modesto Art Walk. We hope you will join us and meet Reverend Erin King who has created the mandala art in our gallery. Erin will explain all about mandalas for you who are interested in this fascinating work. Of course we will have goodies and art walk maps too. It's a fun thing to do, from 5-9pm. Oh the best thing. . . ITS FREE! Hope to see you. No Sales Tax night.

Note from Christi on current show in Oakdale. Also a call for artists for November showing through December.

Hi Jim,

I was wondering if you could remind everyone to visit the ongoing art gallery/show in Oakdale at Kara's Skin Care Studio, featuring local artists David Rodriguez, Joey Huestis, and jewelry designer Donna Celli. The show ends September 13th.

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.

Adrian Mendoza's show, Tweaked, Untweaked and Textiles still showing since opening and reception at Photographers' Gallery for art walk. Open at 13th and J Street in Camera Center, the gallery nonprofit also offers classes. Here is latest email on that from gallery guru David Shroeder.
