There is a new gallery at the Gateway that everyone should stop in and visit. Last weekend was the grand opening of the new Urban Arts Galley, and I am very impressed. It is a very nice and large space showcasing a number of different artists, and currently featuring the artwork of Jimmi Toro. A lot of very nice work! You’ll also find a boutique selling all sorts of local handmade stuffz.

There are also a number of events planned for the space, including dance performances, CONNECT, Gallery Stroll, and the Urban Arts Festival. Checkity-check!

Poster Design by Todd Powelson

The SLC White Party, hosted by the Utah Arts Alliance, will be an evening to remember. Here is a description of what all is planned:

The 12th Annual White Party is this month! What is the White Party? Think all WHITE dress code: tuxedos, top hats, ball gowns, and all sorts of fun costumes. What can YOU do with white? This year’s theme is Moulin Blanc. We are channeling Parisian bohemian performance and style this year such as Moulin Rouge in its heyday! This is one of the most anticipated events for those in the know in Salt Lake City for 12 years running. Enjoy live performances, live music, cabaret, dancing, drinks, art, and much more. $30.00 at the door, ($21.00 pre-sale)—all proceeds benefit Utah Arts Alliance programs.

Her classes include beginning, intermediate, veil, improvisation, and urban tribal lessons.

She is known for her physical flexibility, collaborative personality, discipline and creative use of music and costuming.

I Have A Secret

October 16, 2012

Cat Palmer has been putting together a show that will go on display this Friday at the Gray Wall Gallery in the Salt Lake Arts Hub. She was telling me about it a few weeks ago, and I am looking forward to checking out the artwork. It is such a great idea, and a group of very talented participating artists. Be sure to stop in and take a look!

Here is what Cat has to say about “I Have A Secret”:

Since 2010, I have been collecting the secrets of women from all over the nation for an empowering and rare exhibit, this October. The secrets (all submitters staying anonymous) will give insight into the profound, sad, deeply personal, and often time’s quirky world of hundreds of different women from hundreds of different backgrounds…

The exhibit will include original artwork inspired by the anonymous secrets, from a select few of my favorite artists.

In addition to my own pieces, I am pleased to present the outstanding work of: Cassandra Barney, Alison Armstrong, Melissa Peck, Zuzanna Audette, Erica Houston, Desarae Lee, and Stefanie Dykes.

Opening reception information:

Gray Wall Gallery (at the “Hub”)

The show will remain hanging until November 8th.

Art.sy’s Public Launch

October 9, 2012

Art.sy started off as an invite only service while they developed their software and site. A year or two ago I joined their beta program, and I’ve liked looking through their libraries. Today I got an email announcing that it is finally ready for public launch. Here is a little more information:

Art.sy started four years ago in a college dorm room with the simple idea that all the world’s art should be freely accessible. Today’s launch marks our first step toward making that idea a reality. You can read more about our story in The New York Times.

We’re also honored to launch in partnership with over 50 outstanding art institutions—including SFMOMA, Fondation Beyeler, Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt Museum, and The British Museum—and more than 275 leading galleries.

Enjoy!
