Part of establishing an event like art camp is to discuss ideas from all perspectives. So if you’re wondering what grabs our attention when we’re looking through submissions or scouting, you’re in the right place. An artist statement is pretty debatable these days. There are so many channels to voice various works on, so why…
Water Stories MorYork Gallery, Highland Park, CA Performances through May 14, 2016 Tickets MorYork Gallery is a cabinet of curiosities hidden away in Highland Park CA.

Vieno James‘s body of work, Glory, opened at Offsite Gallery inside the World Trade Center in Norfolk, VA last week.

In warrior one , I can see my own painting above our living room couch. It’s a four-by-four-foot abstract with muted greens and blues. It’s whatever. In warrior two,…
I’ve made a routine of starting with the weather. It is cooler, but the sun is still shining brightly outside my window. This is rare. These days it has been quite gray, though still warmer than I am used to this time of year. There are only a few dozen hours of 2017 left, and…
