Hey ya'll. Sorry about the lack of links (there aren't going to be any today either), but I am a busy-ass person, so some things fall by the wayside. I'll try to pick it back up in the future (hell, if a get drunk and inspired tonight, I may come back and do it). But that is beside the point. Kentucky went AWESOME, for those of you who are curious. The dude I tazed (recreationally, of course) last year was there, we hung out and drank some beer (RealTree camoed Busch, to be exact) while his buddies started their camp fire with road flairs. I love Kentucky. But this is also beside the point. ART, that's the point, right? It's still Chicago Artist Month, for whatever that's worth (not a lot in my book, just seems like a excuse to trot out lame dog and pony shows without a lot of actual benefit to the art community, but why do I got to be a hater?), so there is still a glut of stuff going on. Here's your list, my friends. If you see me out this weekend and I yell something obscene at you, don't worry, it's just Kentucky wearing off. Did I mention I love Kentucky?

Hope to se you at Nicole Gallery on Saturday!
ReplyDelete(thanks for this listing) or "Dolls of J" tonight...I only show 2 dolls.
Yes, artists scramble to get noticed during the month Chicago chose to celebrate us, following the lead and addding heft to the Chicago Artists Coalition's efforts that started the whole thing with the annual Chicago Art Open, a non-juried, first-come- first-served fundraiser that evolved into a decent event.
You're right. No one can get to everything, but I thought the opening at the Cultural Center was a smash hit and the few exhibitions I have seen have been great, including the one I put up at CSU. I feel good having our city support art.
If there were some major prize money involved as in the Grand Rapids recent (controversial) art events we would really have something to talk about.
