The Alternative Show is specifically directed to the novice, outsider, and beginning artists along with the myriad of creatives, young and old, skilled, and not so much, who grace our walls with art. Not only is it a positive experience for everyone, but it’s also a chance to exhibit in a collective of works by people who share the love of art in all its joys and aberrations. As an exhibitor, here or anywhere, you have joined an amazing community of like-minded people who are erratically different.
Come view TASI’s Annual Juried Member Exhibition, on display in the Main Gallery from April 6-26!
Gallery hours; 12-5 pm, Tues-Sat
On view now in TASI’s Maudee Gallery through April 25.
Join us for the opening reception to find out which pieces were selected to exhibit and which were chosen as winners of the show! The reception is free and open to the public. Refreshments provided.
At our inception, we felt there had to be a community outreach arm of the organization. With that in mind, our mission statement demands that we foster a tie with the artists and this community. Our engagement works in many ways. We hold classes in a variety of disciplines including printmaking, ceramics, watercolor, color theory, drawing, and photography, as well as programs tailored to people with special needs. Art therapy has become a new avenue toward improving the health of people in our community and we are working with mental health professionals to provide fun and entertaining programs with a deeper purpose of improving the hearts and minds of that unique community.
“My biggest hope for each work I do is to have it pull on the hearts of the person looking at it; to evoke their emotions in the deepest ways and have them see the beauty in things they never knew was there. To feel the love that I put into each piece.”
The Art Studio is working with our local community mental health providers to promote health, healing and wellness through artistic self-expression. Individuals of all ages, education, and walks of life are called to participate in our second annual “The Art of Mental Health” art exhibition. The theme will focus on the artists’ personal experience with mental wellness and using art as a healthy way to cope.
The elements of design, balance, color, composition, and style all come into play when there is a competition for limited gallery space. Additionally, acceptance into the exhibition provides exposure and possible purchases of your work. Exhibitions are a big part of an artist’s resume and competing in shows gives an artist credibility and puts their work in front of the public.
I would say my art is close to “Fauvism” style; vivid colors and simplified subjects. I paint on canvas, material, metal, and wood wood with acrylics. This show, I do have some sea glass with epoxy pieces. I have a wide range of subjects I like to paint, but ocean animals are my favorite. While making no attempt to illustrate actual sea life in my painting, I want my creations to look alive. Living with beautiful works of art, reminds us to slow down and reconnect with nature, even if it’s just for a moment.
