How to Creatively Solicit an Art Gallery Produced by Artifications.com. Many artists desire to show their art in a controlled gallery setting. Artifications goes through a number of items to consider en route to this goal, including questions to ask yourself, and starting where you're at. Artifications then dives into the different path of Outsider artists and pedigree artists. The video then discusses the viability of art fairs, art festivals, international art fairs, local art groups, art cooperatives, and Urban Enterprise zones.

Welcome to Baltimore and the American Visionary Art Museum. The dynamic rotating exhibitions, really speak to the AVAMs prodigious use of space, making the building seem less like a collection of collections, and more one seamless Art installation. But the stories, Particularly the stories found in the museums permanent collection speak to the heart of the AVAM mission. There are certain running themes; mostly About a compulsion to create for the purposes of personal transmutation. What is being transmuted is often a discomfort or acknowledgment of sorts between the artist and their interpretation of the world around them; often time speaking to something like pain, or confusion. I asked Gage to point out a favorite of his.

Interview with UNO Art Professor Tony Campbell The journey of being an artist can be highly introspective; a long process of evaluation and revaluation. The resulting pieces of art are a direct result of these internal value structures we create. This was evident during a recent visit to The Mint, home to the New Orleans Jazz museum and a small permanent installation about currency on the ground floor, our ultimate destination.

Interview with New Orleans Curator Gabriel Shaffer of Mortal Machine Gallery The magic of 507 Frenchman was short lived, but the gallery did manage to find its forever home at 940 Royal St. Oddly enough, this was the location of one of my favorite galleries in New Orleans: Red Truck. The name was familiar to me, due to our previous visits and their active work participating in various art fairs. It was fantastic luck that brought me into communication with one of Mortal Machine's owners, Gabriel Shaffer, where I could produce something of value.

We are going to dive into something new and pretty exciting. We have organized an art crawl in Sonoma county. Specifically, in the town of Healdsburg.

Its almost comically referenceable, with the whole “Is It local” movement, and the references to Portlands proclivity to be overcast, 95% of the time. What makes Portland so lovable and fascinating is paradoxical nature; like the fact that it is both a tiny city and yet rife with urban sprawl, or that while it is completely urban, the entire city is closely surrounded by pristine natural wonders. The dualistic aspect of Portland is what makes it so lovable. How could you not love a city that

This episode focuses on the History of Alexandria and the art scene that helped define a waterfront. We begin with explorations in the naming of Alexandria, becoming part of DC, and the construction of the Torpedo Factory. We further discuss the Torpedo Factory influence on the development of the waterfront area, creating a thriving art scene, and the history of how the Torpedo Factory and how it became a significant economic engine in the area. Artifications interviews Abbey Alison McCLaine Director of the Torpedo Factory Artists Association and Erica Fortwengler, Director of Communications and marketing for the Art League. (Active Sonar Sound) Ive always loved that sound, yet never really knew what it was. I just remember that awesome movie “The Hunt for Red OCtober”... Still one of my favorites. “Set Range to target… One Ping Only” That is the Sound of active Sonar. Sonar is actually an acronym representing Sound and Range; Basic physics attests that sound travels much farther in water, so much so that Sonar is used by submarines in order to determine its proximity to its surroundings and the shape of submerged objects. Once the sound wave reaches a submerged object, it immediately bounces back to the source with information on things like contours and shapes. The same principles are utilized in Sonograms, and ultrasounds on your body, using sound to create 3D images has been in use for a while. In the Military, A submarine would use sonar to verify a range to a target, and then launch a torpedo with a tremendous amount of accuracy. Why are we talking about this? Because today we explore Alexandria, and specifically Its home for the arts, The much Lauded Torpedo Factory.

Season 1 Episode 4: Greenpoint Brookyn Welcome back to the 4th episode of Artifications, where we spent time chatting with Nathan Windsor and Owen Houhoulis, both of Greenpoint's famed Pencil Factory.

Artifications: Season One, Episode 3: Sonoma County: Part 1 Welcome to Santa Rosa... Wait, you've never heard of Santa Rosa? Santa Rosa, Is the political heart of Sonoma County, California. Sonoma County is the region of land called the “North Bay”, one of the top “Wine Regions” of the Country. People generally associate the area with Flowing field of vines, Wicker baskets full of grapes, bushels of plump berries to juice, and overall attention to sustaining a good quality of life.

Artifications: Season 1 Episode 1: Denver As 2016 comes To a close, the city of Denver prepares for its “First Friday” of the new year. For the last number of years, this popular city-wide event has gone on, every first Friday without issue. and while artists and patrons alike have celebrated this for years without much thought, the scene is experiencing a backlash. The DIY flair of the burgeoning arts community has come under fire as of late. Some say it is a direct result of the “Ghostship” fire, that resulted in the death of 36 people at their art loft space in Oakland, California. Let's explore how a beloved Community can both exist and thrive as a larger society tries to find the right balance between “safe space” and “creative space”.
