Por Favor... No National Latino Museum

Back in 2003 I didn't like this idea.

I still don't like it. Read about it here.

And stop trying to segregate my culture and then aggregate it under one convenient label.

Sculptors Happy Hour

Wanna meet and chat about sculpture with fellow DC area sculptors and sculpture lovers on the last Monday of every month at 6:00 PM? (next one is July 28th, etc...).

Then go to Gordon Biersch
900 F Street NW
Washington, DC 20004

Ask the Hostess where the Washington Sculptors Group is sitting. You don’t need to be a member to join them and everyone is invited.

Check out their new website here.

New at Art-Tistics

Welcoming uberblogger Joanne Mattera, who will be joining us at Art-Tistics soon as the site grows.

Note the new widget to the right - it will keep you updated on the new art posts on that blog - just click on the post of interest and it takes you there.

Congrats!

I still don't know who all the 2008 Trawick Prize finalists are, but I know that both Joe Barbaccia and Warren Craghead are on that list!

As soon as it is made public I will have it here; meanwhile, congrats to Joe and Warren!

Seeking the "Collector"

Today's Washington Post has a list of suspects for DC's almost/quasi famous "Collector" - It also has a quote from me as to why Michael Janis is not a suspect in my opinion.

Read the piece here (scroll down).

PS - Where did they get that pic of Kirk Waldroff? from his High School yearbook?

Podcasting

Just a teaser for now... we will soon be adding regular podcasts to the blog!

More later.

The Artists "Review" Artists Project

J.T. Kirkland over at Thinking About Art has just launched an interesting new project where artists' work is reviewed by other artists.

I'm always talking about important the digital footprint is for artists and this idea seems like an excellent one for that! Now I wish I had thought about it!

Check it out here.
