It has been amazing to see so many people come 'make their mark' on the artwork.<br /><br />We began the art center with the hopes of engaging the community through creative ideas, actions, and events. Through the Experimental Paint Project the inSPIRATIVE gallery director, staff, and participating artists have ecstatically witnessed the fulfillment of our mission. As we move forward in our artistic endeavors, inSPIRATIVE gallery would again like to thank everyone who made this happen.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941566217992506651.post-64488145723685035282010-10-28T17:29:00.002-07:002010-10-28T18:30:25.652-07:00Experimental Paint Project Opening Nov. 12<meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg87ocKjzpQJDKu2nEaQ1htKNbI5B32H18Bj1Jbo6VF8-2tnjHiNjIn77QSC8WC0Ni6sQFEJWbMzBmV3mWFfd7JGERNDUX0swLnG-CrnqjovQ95zEqtozqxZQC2mkIaTonKuny_odTaXQ6J/s200/Screen+shot+2010-10-28+at+8.47.53+PM.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 199px; height: 144px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533263855844538354" /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEVOatZnC7lptSk0n_HVaZnGpXbfEAHisnjVkveNs9Z8EEqqxOfw0P6AD6kPR7MR1VdQvSOFvuqSzGb5dhBc0__diuvMYrCCi9qAHDXj2vsGb9sw_sBkHCsJRhJ2hyphenhyphenz2jTjF5KOZxbeys_/s1600/Screen+shot+2010-10-28+at+8.47.47+PM.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 199px; height: 144px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEVOatZnC7lptSk0n_HVaZnGpXbfEAHisnjVkveNs9Z8EEqqxOfw0P6AD6kPR7MR1VdQvSOFvuqSzGb5dhBc0__diuvMYrCCi9qAHDXj2vsGb9sw_sBkHCsJRhJ2hyphenhyphenz2jTjF5KOZxbeys_/s200/Screen+shot+2010-10-28+at+8.47.47+PM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533263470354995874" /></a>Have you ever day dreamed about being an artist with your painting on display art galleries? Here is your chance to enter into the real artworld.
<br />
<br />You are invited to be part of the artists featured at the next exhibit at inSPIRATIVE art gallery. Join other artists on Friday, November 12 at 7:00 p.m. and be part of the Experimental Paint Project. Featured artists for this exhibit include Amber Bloss, Angela Leed, and YOU.
<br />
<br />Experimental Paint Project is a collaborative show with a radical twist. Chicago artist, Amber Bloss has been working with artist and inSPIRATIVE gallery director, Angela Leed to create twenty, 8"x8" paintings on wood panel. Every weekend since summer 2010 the work is shipped back and forth from Chicago to Plymouth and vice versa. Each artist works independently on the painting. The collaborators do not see each others work until upon return of the work. Now during the month of November it is the public's turn!
<br />
<br />Each work will be hung at the inSPIRATIVE gallery next to a drawing/painting tool. The painting will not be complete until conclusion of the show in December. Three works have already been donated and auctioned at the <a href="http://www.plymouthounceofprevention.org/">2010 Ounce of Prevention, MargariTATAville Party</a> that was held Saturday, October 2nd at Plymouth Country Club.
<br />
<br />Amber Bloss is a Chicago based artist who began her career with the <a href="http://www.steppenwolf.org/">Steppenwolf Theatre Company</a>. She now runs the very successful decorative paint company, Amber Bloss Studios.
<br />
<br />Angela Leed is an internationally recognized artist and has shown in the E.U., New York, and Chicago. She is currently working on the series "Manufactured Community", sponsored in part by an Individual Artist Grant by the <a href="http://www.indianaarts.org/">Indiana Arts Commission</a>. Future exhibitions include an additional collaborative exhibition at the Langlab in South Bend, IN.

His work includes a multi dimensional show of sculptures created from a variety of materials. <br /><br />Artist Burman shares, "I see the shapes as evocative, elegant and peaceful. Again, hoping the viewer will agree, I like to imagine these objects to have been made, not by my self, but by an artisan of some ancient culture as a work of reverence and then left to be discovered by some later generation. Much like that felt by the discoverers of the mysterious stone heads on Easter Island, or by those who look upon the Giza pyramids, I would wish viewers to gain a sense of mystery or wonder from the experience. My hope is that they approach the work introspectively, being open to the positive mental changes that are possible in such situations. At the very least, I hope they find insight, a bit of calm or a brief respite from the hectic and clamorous world they left behind to enter this place."<br /><br />Michael Burman's show opens on Friday, June 11 at 7:00 p.m. Exhibit runs through July.

YAM is in virtually every state, in many communities, in schools, libraries, stores, and other places. Anyone can start an observance--an art educator, a parent, a librarian, a youth organization leader, a businessperson, a student--anyone who has a genuine concern for quality art programs and who is willing to work with others in the school system or community. The observance may be small or large, and may range from a single exhibit to a community-wide or statewide project; in fact, the Art Education Association of Indiana sponsors a statewide display in Indianapolis!<br /><br />We love the arts!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941566217992506651.post-38874110758991574682010-03-01T11:16:00.001-08:002010-03-01T11:31:57.507-08:00Upcoming Artist Debuts on Bonnie Hunt Show<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj33dmJHDimWdetcyKWdQoaEO3EoIxR5_hQHzU1j7P_PR3VmKAoSmaSLhpg5yUiALwIobmdRSrX1kJLfqILUU4JNetB9KPE62my4Yldz3-IMmO6kFbP31o_5kjZtcFUCf0qE0lGUw-02sd8/s1600-h/Screen+shot+2010-03-01+at+2.15.57+PM.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 104px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj33dmJHDimWdetcyKWdQoaEO3EoIxR5_hQHzU1j7P_PR3VmKAoSmaSLhpg5yUiALwIobmdRSrX1kJLfqILUU4JNetB9KPE62my4Yldz3-IMmO6kFbP31o_5kjZtcFUCf0qE0lGUw-02sd8/s200/Screen+shot+2010-03-01+at+2.15.57+PM.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443747662107972690" /></a><br />inSPIRATIVE art center is pleased to announce artist Sayaka Ganz's debut on the Bonnie Hunt Show, nationally aired February 25th.
