Lots of news!
I have been asked to join the board of Art in the Public Eye (A.P.E.), the umbrella organization for Third Thursday Art Walks. Adding this to my already full plate will be a challenge, but I'm honored to have been asked. My first ever solo art show was through Third Thursday, so this is a nice full-circle moment for me in my art life. These folks are dynamic and going places. I'm excited to be a part of it.
I'm continuing on with North Country Arts Center as board member, and will again help chair this year's Colors of Fall Art and Craft Festival - which we are already starting to think about for 2010. If you have feedback, are interested in becoming a vendor, or would like to help out, please let me know! The organization is also looking to expand to the north - be in touch if you're up that-a-way and want to jump on board with some new initiatives.
I am also a part of the new Buttondown Gallery in The Shirt Factory in Glens Falls, which has its first show, Winterscapes, coming up. The reception is Saturday, Jan. 30, from 3 to 7 p.m. I think Rhea Love Doran (who will be running Buttondown) has a lot to offer.
I'm also helping out here and there at LARAC - another organization I'm proud to be involved with. I'm also helping out at Hocus Pocus Consignment, the awesome new children's store that has opened up next to Finders Keepers (same management) on Broad Street in Glens Falls. Some of my artwork and jewelry will be displayed there for sale, so come and check it out! Lots of quality kids' clothes, toys and more, too. Stop by Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. if you want to see me there.
Some of the artists in the vampire-themed show at Galleria Transylvania at The Shirt Factory were interviewed for Mountain Lake PBS (self included!!!). It was filmed in late 2009, but will be airing next week. We should be able to watch it online here once it's aired.
On the jewelry front, I'm trying my hand at silver chainmaille. Materials are crazy expensive, but the end result is beautiful. On the flip side, I'm also making some funky earrings made with garbage - Tupperware lids, take-out containers, styrofoam, broken scissors, etc. Keep an eye on IVYTEAKETTLE - I'll update once I have a free second!

North Country Studios Tour
This weekend is the first ever North Country Studios Tour, put on by the North Country Arts Center.
Visitors will have the opportunity to meet the participating artists in their studios--in a converted factory, renovated barns, farmhouses, newly designed spaces. They are painters, sculptors, potters, jewelers, photographers, textile, mixed media, and "new rustic" artists who create works of art that are often exhibited and sold beyond the borders of the North Country.
The organizers of the tour are artists collaborating to help connect the community to the arts by opening their studios. They were inspired by last year's successful open studio tours east and north of our region. We believe open studios will demonstrate individual achievements and present vital currents in fine art and crafts in our region and offer visitors a chance to purchase works of art directly from the artists.
So... This Saturday and Sunday, August 9 and 10, from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM, pick up a brochure or visit the website and come out to see the studios! I'll be in The Shirt Factory on the third floor in mine, working on some new stuff - stop by to say hello!

Co-President!
I'm now the Co-President of the North Country Arts Center! We had our annual member's meeting on Sunday and I was elected in. On Saturday we hung a show in the City Hall Gallery in Glens Falls for UpStArt Arts Forum, and I've got several pieces in the show, as well. If you're in town, pop in to City Hall to see - if you take the elevator to the second floor, there it is!
