Sketchbook Project LIVE VIDEO BROADCAST
In case you haven't heard - Maggie & I completed a project over the winter as a finishing touch to my "Summer of Art" last year. We enrolled in The Sketchbook Project at the Art House Co-op and met to do brainstorming, planning, and ultimately the art we stuffed into the 3.5 x 5" sketchbooks. Our theme was the very big "everyone we know" and we know a lot of people! Maggie and Scarlett developed their own style and interpretation of the theme and then went to work carving such a tiny space into a replica of their inner ideas.
While many of you can't be with us tonight as we attend the gallery opening of the project, we'd like to invite you to watch along online (note: the servers only allow 50 people, so be considerate). If you can't watch along, then maybe try something artistic on your own. The purpose of the project is to encourage everyone (professional artist or not) to express themselves and experiment.
I'm very proud of the work we've done, that we can say our names and "gallery opening" in the same sentence, and that personal expression takes a place in our lives. Thanks for helping us celebrate!
With laughter,
Scarlett & Maggie
Like a concert tour, but with sketchbooks.
Wesend you the sketchbook, you make the art. Then Art House is taking all the sketchbooks on a 6 city tour to galleries and museums across the U.S. The goal of the exhibition is to encourage anyone to create artwork and build a collective of sketchbooks made by artists from all over the world.
Tonight marks the first exhibition on the Sketchbook Project tour. We will be broadcasting it live over the internet so that people who can't make it to the exhibition in person can have a chance to view the show and see how people interact with it. The show tonight also features the work of Emily Maxwell.
The show starts at 7:00pm EST and runs until 10:30pm. To view the broadcast, simply go to: http://arthousecoop.com/projects/sketchbookproject/broadcast.
Please note that because tonight's show is at our own gallery, this is unfortunately the only exhibition on the tour that we are able to broadcast. Also, the broadcast is limited to up to 50 viewers at a time, so if you aren't actively viewing it, please close the window to allow others a chance to!
