Modesto Art and Wine Fest, fees went up for artists

Thu, 01 May 2008 09:53:27 -0400

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.

art and a blue monday and a blues walk

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 03:05:14 -0500

A blue Monday walk. Some good news in emails for State Theatre art walk call for artists, such that I feel shows will be worth attending for the art.

Also, Commonality Show apparently will be on a Sunday at Centre Plaza, though Christine has yet to confirm all that, I've sent off the jpgs and glad to see that show progress to reality, and should be fun.

Gasp.....nudes in a figure show in an art gallery, MISTLIN..... and some yanked. Read jeff jardine's column this morning, http://www.modbee.com if you want to get the scoop, butt.....

City Council Member Brad Hawn is current president of the central california art association, the local group, I rejoined this year, but had been a member of back in the days it was located in the McHenry Museum basement, where the column has him quoted we didn't show nudes there....WRONG.....
