was a great success. I love that event. I was in a bit of a whirlwind,
and I didn't have the time or space to get all the vintage jewelry, old
oddities and hat pins, feathers, fabulous rhinestone buttons and what
not out. So I am going to do a little wearable art fair right at the
studio. My studio mate Jane Steele-Meagher, will have her fabric and
clay jewelry creations along with the fabulous Maggie D , who will be
adding to the vintage sparkle with jewelry, handbags, linens and so
much more. This will take place December 4 & 5th from 10-6. Just in
time for holiday dress up and gift shopping. We will be serving up some
fun too! 2831 Wetmore Ave, Everett. The studio is now open 6 days a
week from 11:30 - 2:00. Although you may find us there in the late
afternoon/evening or by appointment.
Hello, Art Friends!
Several art happenings are coming up this weekend.
1st. This Saturday, the 24th, is Galapalooza at the Monte Cristo in Everett, from 10
- 5PM. This is a wearable art fair. I will be there selling vintage,
antique and costume jewelry. Lots of sparkle stuff for the holidays,
plus vintage buttons, eye wear, and some very old fancy hat pins. I
have a few pieces of vintage cosmetic items, and some fun little
handbags. Besides me, there will be 30 other artists/crafts persons and vendors with
everything from handmade scarf's, jackets and purses to vintage clothes and
much more. We have raffles, a cake walk, wine and massages. Men don't need to shy away, as it
is a one stop holiday gift buying extravaganza. I will also have a few
men's items, (vintage ties, and cufflinks). 1507 Wall St. in Everett. www.artscouncilofsnoco.org
2nd. Going on the same day is "Open Studio" for the artists on Wetmore
Avenue. On the corner of Hewitt and Wetmore is my studio
space, 2831 Wetmore, that I share with Jane Steele-Meagher. She is a fiber artist and
sculptor. She will open the studio/gallery at noon. Next door to us is Evelia Sanchez, who is a clay and mixed
media artist, along with her studio mate, Cheri O'bien. Just a few doors
from them is Carol Chen Lord, who has a made a lovely studio filled with
mixed media collage. All three studios will be open until 8 PM, and will be serving
refreshments.
3rd. I will be having an opening in Seattle on Saturday, November 7th,
at Local Color in the Pike Place Market. Local Color is coffee shop and
jazz house located just across from the flower stalls at the market.
The shop is run by a wonderful couple who put on an great opening. My
pictures and
bio will be posted on their site in November, and I will be there 6-8pm
on the 7th. www.LocalColorSeattle.com
This painting which has the most beautiful deep fall colors is from my series " The Color Inside". All the paintings in the series are 12 x 12 inches, painted in acrylics on gallery wrapped canvas. I visualized color mapping each face in the series. I wondered how much space and what color each mood and emotion might take up.
I am excited to say that I have been asked to continue my stay in the Everett downtown studio/gallery space through December. In order to have the space open more hours I have invited artist and teacher Jane Steele-Meagher to join me in my space. We are both excited to work on a collaborative sculptural piece and share the space for our individual projects as well. www.janetwold.blogspot.com
It is already week 5 of the Artists in Great Spaces program, with just two weeks to go. It has been a very interesting experience and I have really enjoyed it. Everyday I putz around my space arranging and rearranging the art. I gesso canvases and rough sketch ideas on them. I am also working on two sculpture projects; one is a 3 layered panty pink cake, for Galapalooza in October, and the other is a recycled tin can lid piece, that will hopefully look like a big fish once I get it put together. Check out my other blog for more info with hours and days. JanetWold.blogspot.com Please come by for a visit if you are in the area. 2831 Wetmore Ave, Everett, WA.
Time is flying by so fast this summer, I've hardly had time to smell
the roses. Coming up next week, August 17th, I will be taking over a
large corner building in downtown Everett. For the next 6 weeks this
well be the home of Janet Wold Art Studio and Gallery. This is part of
a partnership, between building owners and artists, put together by the
city of Everett and The Snohomish Arts Council. I am honored to have
been chosen to be part of this project. I plan to make the best of my
time , by packing the place with art, opening the doors and welcoming
the community to come by for a visit. I will be painting and doing a
variety of other art projects. I am also looking for suggestions on a
recycle project using tin can lids. I have been saving them and this is
the time to find a fun way to use them. Please come by for a visit,
bring you paint stuff and join in the fun. I have not figured out my
schedule yet, but I will definitely be there on Tuesdays and Thursday,
from 12-4. I will post the other days and hours once I get setup. The
address is 2831 Wetmore. It is on the NE corner of Wetmore and Hewitt.
The building has blue awnings and is just 2 blocks west of the Comcast
Center. There are artists in 6 other locations and I am fortunately
just across the street from Wise Design. So I am with good company. www.janetwold.blogspot.com
