 The Arts Council of Snohomish County celebrates the pop-cartoon painting style of Artist of the Year: Jules Anslow. Jules was chosen by her peers and the artistic community for the quality of her art, dedication to the profession, and her continuous advocacy for the arts.
2010: An Art Odyssey
March 11 – April 22, 2010
Opening Reception: March 11, 5-8pm
Special musical guest: Brent Egbert
Jules left her home state of Ohio to come to the Northwest in 1985. She began working for established ceramic, and jewelry artists, before developing and selling her own jewelry and pottery. Her sculptural pop-cartoon painting style has evolved steadily over the last twenty years, born from the possibilities she found in slab-rolled clay. Using acrylic on wood, from multi-level cutout paintings to three-dimensional murals, Jules uses every opportunity to combine 2D and 3D for a larger-than-life effect. Her work includes creating two of the pigs for Pike Place Market’s “Pigs on Parade 2007”.Jules also curates, promotes and teaches for the studio/gallery she co-founded in 2006, Lowell Art Works in Everett, and currently serves as its president.
The exhibit will open with a “Meet the Artist” reception on March 11, 5-8pm. Special musical guest: Brent Egbert. This event is free to the public. The gallery is located at 1507 Wall Street, Everett, WA 98201. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday 10-5pm and on Saturday, 11-4pm.

 The Edmonds Arts Commission is pleased to present an exhibit featuring encaustic paintings by John Vandebrooke. The exhibit at Edmonds Library runs now through March 13, 2010. Library hours are Monday-Thursday 10 am to 9 pm, Friday 10 am-6 pm, Saturday 10 am-5 pm and Sunday 1-5 pm. The Edmonds Library is located at 650 Main St.
Encaustic art involves a technique in which pigment is mixed with melted wax, generally beeswax. Greek artists were painting with encaustic as long ago as the 5th century BC, but over the centuries, encaustic was overtaken by other types of paint that were cheaper, faster, and easier to work with. Artists experimented with encaustic in the 18th and 19th centuries, but it wasn't until the 20th century that its use was really revived with the availability of portable electric heating devices for melting the wax.

Red Curtain Productions announces auditions for its upcoming production of "Enter Laughing" by Joseph Stein, adapted from Carl Reiner's novel at the Historic Everett Theatre 2911 Colby Ave in downtown Everett
Produced by special arrangement through Samuel French, Inc.
Directed by Davine Sholdez
The semi-autobiographical, riotous account of stage-struck young David Kolowitz (Carl Reiner) working as a delivery boy in a sewing machine factory in 1930's New York. Denying his parents' wishes for a druggist in the family, he leaves their dreams and his devoted girlfriend, Wanda, behind and is soon enlisted (and paying for) a slot as the "leading man" in a third-rate theatrical company. All the while being vamped by the resident less-than leading lady, and daughter of the hammy "artistic director". His baptism of fire is a hilarious first performance where everything that can go wrong does.
Casting breakdown:
11 men ages late teens to 60’s
4 women ages late teens to 60’s
Some Jewish accents.
Auditions will be March 7th and 8th from 7 pm – 10 pm, made by appointment. Please prepare a 2 minute comedic monologue. Bring a headshot, resume, and a list of all conflict dates between March 10 and May 23rd.
Callbacks will be March 10th, and if necessary March 11th from 7 pm – 10 pm.
Show dates are May 7th – 23rd, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm, and Sundays at 2 pm.
Rehearsals will be Sunday – Wednesdays from 7-10 pm most weeks until Tech Week.
Call 425-760-0346 to set an appointment, or contact us at www.redcurtainfoundation@gmail.com for more information..

 World-renowned tattoo artist and painter, Damon Conklin, shows new works at the Lynnwood Convention Center. Ten paintings depicting Mr. Conklin's views on nature were selected to be shown for a six month exhibit. Conklin is among five artists selected from more than twenty applicants for the current exhibit scheduled to run through June. An artist reception to feature the current artists is scheduled from 6-8pm on Wednesday, April 14, 2010. The Lynnwood Convention Center, located at 3711 195th St SW in Lynnwood, is open for public viewings daily. More information about the Lynnwood Convention Center is available at www.lynnwoodcc.com.
Conklin got his artistic start in cartography working as a defense mapper in the United States Army before taking up study at the Art Institute of Seattle. After graduating from the Art Institute, Conklin worked as a video game 3D animator and graphic designer refining his craft. Eventually, Damon discovered his true artistic love in tattoo and tattoo designing. After apprenticing and working for top shop, Slave to the Needle, Conklin opened his own tattoo parlor, Super Genius, in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. Conklin has won several prestigious awards and has been featured in numerous magazines including the Smithsonian Magazine.
After devoting years tattooing and co-producing large-scale industry events, Conklin learned that it is important to, in his words, "stop and notice the little things." Painting for Conklin has become about following this credo and allowing himself to be fascinated by the gifts of God's creation and life's simplicity. For the past three years, Conklin has focused on painting realism with medium oil on canvas producing several series of nature and portraits. Recently he has experimented with narrowing his color pallet to 6 or fewer colors. Conklin has shown at local galleries and at the Seattle Tattoo Convention.
For more information or to schedule interviews with Mr. Conklin, contact Jeramy Olson, Artist Representative at 206-200-9615 or olson_jeramy@comcast.net. |
