GET JURIED IN NOVEMBER 2011. VOTE.
GET A SOLO SHOW IN 2012.
For the November 2011 exhibition ‘Other Possible Titles,’ Grizzly is looking for inventive work for inclusion in a juried, group show. Work in any medium – sculpture, wall work, video art, installation, etc- is encouraged.
There is a catch. Throughout the duration of the exhibition, Grizzly Grizzly will allow visitors to vote on their favorite work. The artist receiving the most votes will receive a solo exhibition in the 2012 gallery season.
This is an interactive art piece consisting of a grid of 96 guitar effects pedals that are wired together. The piece has multiple levels of experience. The pedals are arranged in a grid and are vibrant in color. The installation also includes a guitar and amplifier. People step on the different pedals to activate various effects, which multiply over one another, creating a dynamic sonic experience.

In Opposites Attract sculptors are paired with artists working in other disciplines, or with practitioners of a completely different discipline, to create a new synergistic art form. Some artists are collaborating to create a new work of art together, while others are presenting two different works incorporating a unifying concept.
Today we were pointed to some paintings by an artist friend. The paintings were wonderful at least best we could tell. The images were a bit small. We were distracted by buttons to follow or like, photos of friends, and the most ugly and disturbing of all — paypal buttons.
Dear artists, blogs are not portfolio websites.

More than 25 artists will be featured, with works in a variety of media, including drawing, mixed media, painting, photography, print, sculpture and video. Everyone wears a mask, whether literally or figurative. What are we trying to hide or reveal? Ancient man used the altered human form to represent the mysteries of his world.

The Wall of Women (WoW) is an ongoing project conceived by Philadelphia photographer / artist, Anne Saint Peter, to honor the many talented women of all disciplines in the Arts.
Begun in the fall of 2008, the project includes black and white analog portraits of over 100 artistic women, including the visual arts, poetics, music and dance. The intent is to showcase the many talented women in the arts – an often overlooked group.
“The project will go on forever,” says Saint Peter, “a kind of Judy Chicago ‘Dinner Party’ that just keeps evolving.”
