#artcollaborative

a community, a safe place, an open place, a creative place, an outlet, a movement. something that could not have come into creation at a more perfect time. . i am incredibly excited to share with you this project i've been asked to be a part of as an author, photographer, and creative leader - wisemindgentlesoul. . this is always the case, but now more than ever, it is crucial to surround yourself with like-minded people. people who think and feel and see things in ways that move you. people with the same vision, but a different voice. people who not only want to inspire you to hear theirs, but to empower you to use yours. or better yet - to FIND yours. . expression is limitless... . the most exciting part is that this movement is in its early stages, with so much room to grow and explore. if you have a message that is rooted in the heart of a wise mind and a gentle soul, we want to help you share it, so please reach out and let's talk. if you don't feel called to share, but you do feel called to listen, you still play just as great of a role in this community. please give us a follow to stay up to date on what's next. it will certainly be something... . @wisemindgentlesoul . a huge thank you to @brandonmichaelklein for manifesting this beautiful idea and to @alcarpedrummer for asking me to be a part of it. i'm looking forward to seeing where this mystery takes all of us. . link in bio! . . . . #wisemindgentlesoul #community #expression #contemplation #mindfullness #artcollaborative #mindmovement

FINAL WEEK TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL! @biginkprints is coming to Pittsburgh, PA. We’ve partnered with @airpgh for two days of large-scale printing on Sept 22nd & 23rd. Artists are invited to submit a proposal by July 16th to print a big woodblock during the event! Artists Image Resources (AIR) is an artist-run, non-profit print and imaging organization that serves as a laboratory for artists, educators, and the community. AIR’s mission is to integrate the creation of fine art prints with educational programs that explore the role of the artist in contemporary culture. We will be utilizing BIG INK's giant mobile etching press to pull prints up to 40” x 96” in dimension. Those accepted will have two months prior to the event to carve their image into a piece of plywood. BIG INK events are a constructive way to collaborate in a creatively inspiring space while gaining an in-depth knowledge of how to create a large-scale woodblock print. The program is designed for printmakers who understand basic woodblock principles but want to expand their expertise and working scale. The program is also designed for those not yet trained in woodblock but whose visual aesthetic would lend itself to the medium. This includes illustrators, sculptors, designers, and painters who use bold contrast, strong outlines, and patterning. Participating in an event often inspires artists to incorporate more print work in their studio practice. It is free to submit a proposal; accepted artists pay $295 dollars to participate. This covers all consumable materials for the event including printing ink, paper, cleaning supplies, equipment usage and photography of the finished work. All that is required of the artist is to bring a fully carved block.

Sneak Peak to a super zoomed in shot of one of the works appearing in Next Week’s gallery show, framed and available for s a l e. Moms Mothers & The Eternal Feminine is going to be quite the selection of wholesomely sensuous works, delicately illustrating the undulations of femininity. Works by all local Delmarva artists including some established and those up and coming. I hope to see you there! And I wonder, who might be the artist behind the lens of this work, “Object D’Art”? On display and for s a l e with many more fine works of art, May 18th from 5-8pm during Downtown Salisbury’s 3rd Friday! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #downtownsalisbury #localart #localartists #artcollective #artcollector #artcollaborative #artgallery #galleryshow #artsale #sby3rdFriday #3rdfridaysby #downtownsby #salisburyuniversity #su #sbymd #salisburymd #mdeasternshore #marylandphotographer #artistsoninstagram #artsyfartsy #feminine #femininity #feminism #feministart #feministartshow (at The Rabbit Hole)
