I had a great weekend making monoprints in the [Press] at Untitled printmaking studio.  This is the third year I have participated in this wonderful printmaking event.  The art reception is Friday, September 16th from 5-8pm with a silent auction of all of the prints and proceeds going to the [Press].

From their website:

[Artspace] at Untitled is pleased to present the Third Annual Untitled Monothon which will open with a reception and silent auction September 16 from 5 – 8pm and will be on view through October 1. The Monothon is a juried exhibition of monoprints by 33 artists selected by a panel of jurors to participate in a marathon of printmaking in the [Press] at Untitled. Each selected artist had two days to create up to two monoprints. Out of the two monoprints, the jurors chose one print to be offered for sale in the silent auction, the proceeds going toward [Press] at Untitled programming.

The Untitled Monothon will be open to the public Tues – Fri: 10am – 5pm and Sat: 10am – 4pm, Sept 16 through Oct 1. The Opening Reception & Silent Auction will be on Friday, Sept 16 from 5-8pm. Admission is free.

I will have a two person exhibition at TAC Gallery in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with Kristin Gentry from April 1st through April 30th

Please join us for an artists’ reception on Friday, April 1st from 6:00pm – 9:00pm
The event is free and open to everyone. There will be refreshments (including cupcakes!)

Location
Tulsa Artists’ Coalition
9 East Brady, Tulsa, OK 74103

The artwork for this exhibition will exemplify the mixture of contemporary and traditional printmaking methods. The works are often labeled as printmaking mixed-media for the pieces often start as traditional prints but are then altered into more modern mixed-media pieces.
The works will be mounted on cradled wood as apposed to traditional framing methods. This approach gives the works a more organic look and allows a direct view without the glass.

Money Talks Art Walks

I will have two pieces of art available at Money Talks Art Walks.

From the IAO Gallery website:

Money Talks, Art Walks is almost here! This popular fundraising event happens Saturday, March 12 from 7–10pm at the IAO Gallery located at 706 W. Sheridan, in Historic Film Row of downtown Oklahoma City.

With Money Talks, Art Walks, you see high energy coincide with an art sale. This exciting event gives people the opportunity to add affordable art to their collections in very fun fashion. A diverse array of two hundred works created by emerging, mid-career and established Oklahoma artists will grace the walls of the gallery. All the work will be available for $50 to $100! Here’s the catch: all of the artwork will be hung with no title information and the artist of each piece will be identified only after that work has been sold; all the artwork is available for essentially the same price, and patrons can acquire work only through the ‘luck of the draw.’ Attendees will have the option to buy Money Talks tickets for three pools: $100, $75 or $50. Each collector can buy as many tickets as he or she wishes in any or all of the pools, but only 200 Money Talks tickets will be available to represent the 200 pieces of art available.
