Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!
This space has been blank for a while, as I’ve been up to my neck in preparation of Open Studios at Angels Gate. Sometimes you’ve gotta choose between doing your job right and busying yourself as an unpaid internet loudmouth. Spring is always the busiest time of the year for me, and it’s been worth it. In Mass Emergencies, we’ve hustled up a great exhibition brought to you by the ever excellent Devon Tsuno, his students at Cypress College and a crack team of CSULB folks. Elana Mann and Autumn Rooney are experimenting economically and performatically through their project, Artist Bailout: Renegade Bounty Exchange, which brings a host of artists to Angels Gate in search of support for their projects. About 50 artists in our Studio Artist Program will be opening their doors – lots of new folks to see at Angels Gate this year. Oh, and the Tastymeat truck is coming – think doner kebab, shaved fresh from the spindle. You can download the brochure for the event here, which lists everything.
Beyond Angels Gate, another 30 artists will be opening their studios as part of the San Pedro Studio Tour including all of my studio mates at The Loft. If you’ve come to 1st Thursday before, don’t think you’ve seen everything, we’ve got a lot of folks off the 1st Thursday path to open up for this one, including Austin & Lida Lowery, Norm Looney and Craig Antrim on Pacific Avenue, Karena Massengill just down the hill from Angels Gate and Dar Horn at Union Art Works on 5th & Mesa. Download a map for the Studio Tour here. My studio is on the tour, but I won’t be able to be there (I’ve gotta work or something…) – come check out the awesome sparseness and cleanliness of my studio at the Loft while you’re there.
Where: Angels Gate Cultural Center & San Pedro
When: Sunday, May 16, 10am – 4pm. Mass Emergencies reception is 2-4 and Artist Bailout takes place from 1-4pm.
See you there.
