This March, I have a show of paintings on display at Collegetown Bagels in East Hill Plaza. Collegetown Bagels is one of my very favorite places in all of Ithaca to eat, get a coffee, meet friends, relax, the whole shebang. I also have a double self-portrait (above) hanging in CSMA's Post-Decade show and I'm working on a new series of works that will be on display during the month of May at the Moosewood Restaurant in Ithaca.
I am so proud of the work that Luke Fenchel and company is doing over at theithacapost.com. I have always thought that Ithaca and Tompkins County represented possibly the best cultural destination in all of New York State outside of New York City and now many of our creatives are coming together to write about the cultural treasure trove that we make, experience, and live every day. For news on the musicians, painters, dancers, playwrights and actors who make, display and perform their art on a daily basis, check out The Ithaca Post.
As April approaches, I’m gearing up to do a one-hour live painting with 24 of my fellow artists at the Fourth Annual Ithaca Festival Paint Off which is being held on Friday, April 2, 2010 at 7:00pm at Center Ithaca on the Ithaca Commons. The Paint Off is a fabulous event in which 25 artists paint their respective masterpieces in 60 minutes before a live crowd. It’s Gallery Night, so they’ll be music, food, a chance to win all of the Paint Off paintings via raffle or auction, and me! So come down to Center Ithaca, support the Ithaca Festival with your $15 admission fee, and watch great art being made in real time.
And just in case you forgot how fun the Paint Off is, here's a video snippet of last year's event to remind you.
