Call for Artists
Submissions accepted November 10-18, 2016


Artsy Shark needs 48 artists 
to feature and promote in the coming months.

We are currently accepting submissions from visual artists 
in every medium. 

If you have never before been individually featured on Artsy Shark,
you are invited to submit an application for consideration. 











  


Alex Katz: Black and White explores the artist’s lifelong interest in stripping color out of his prints, and his attempt to replace sensual pleasure with intellectual design. Design versus color has been an artistic debate that goes back to the Renaissance. Similar to the art of Renaissance Florence, Katz’s prints are all about design, and are based on drawing, ideas, and the structure of things.

JANE PETTIT


Friends,
Exciting news! I've joined a very talented group of artists who open their studios once a year and put on a great tour. In past years, I've gotten many great gifts here.


This is your chance to see the inside of the studio where most of my art is born!  The art is hung, the lights are up, the wassail's brewing and the place has never looked so good! The barn and sculpture garden are ready for your visit. We'll have coffee, tea, wine and snacks, so come for a visit!  Vermont slate and stone features a prominent place in my art this season. 


There are 3-4 studios within 3 miles of mine and all 13 are within about 20 minutes. You can visit some or all.  Treat yourself to a day in the country and get a head start on your gift-giving!  See you soon, Jane



Just up 270, the Middletown and Pleasant Valleys of central Maryland are home to a wealth of professional artisans. 13 studios featuring 16 artists will open for the annual Valley Craft Network Studio Tour on November 19 & 20 from 10-5 pm.  In its 35th year, Maryland’s oldest studio tour is free and open to the public.  One of those studios is an 1825 German Bank barn where I create my art. For additional information and the brochure with a driving map, go to www.valleycraftnetwork.org. Find pictures of our art on Facebook and Pinterest.

Spotlight On

Bonnie MacAllister, Income Maintenance Caseworker and Artist 

The women in Bonnie MacAllister's portraits gaze confidently out at the world. Her fine, colorful embroidery shows their optimism and potential.

MacAllister's embroidery has garnered attention in exhibits, shows, and articles in Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C.Now she's received statewide recognition, winning first place in the mixed media adult category in the Art: the Universal Language art contest for Pennsylvanians with disabilities. The contest is collaboration between the Department of Human Services, The Arc of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Mental Health Consumers' Association, Pennsylvania Statewide Independent Living Council, and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.

"Having disabilities gives people superpowers in art," said MacAllister, an income maintenance caseworker in Philadelphia. "Van Gogh had visions that no one else could see."

MacAllister's grandmother had taught her embroidery and knitting many years ago, but MacAllister took up embroidery in earnest in 2012."I used to paint and use a lot of potentially toxic materials. My husband had cancer, so I found a new way of expressing myself without toxic materials," she said. Her husband survived cancer and MacAllister realized that embroidery is lighter weight and easier to transport than painting. It's also therapuetic, MacAllister said. "I feel like it's healthier. I equate it to doing yoga. It's a mind and spirit as well as a physical action."

The Delaware Art Museum displayed one of her paintings, but she has had much more response to her embroidery, she said. Her wax and oil paintings were more abstract, while the embroidery pieces are portraits, she said.

I depict a lot of young women in different cultures: Michelle Obama, a quincinera, Malala. A lot of people across cultures, not just the U.S.," she said. "A lot of the people I'm doing the portraits of are children I worked with or know from Ethiopia or Philadelphia, people who have inspired me or influenced me to think about their futures."

For her art, MacAllister starts with raw wool from farmers and herders. She stretches and spins it into yarn on a handmade spinning wheel from a nonprofit in Tanzania. Then makes garments, bracelets, and felted fabric that she uses to embroider.

To create an embroidered portrait, MacAllister starts with a line drawing, then transfers it onto felt, then crafts a colorful image using embroidery thread. It takes her approximately a month to create a 4 x4 inch or 6 x 6 inch embroidery portrait.
 
"That's the way I process stress is to turn it into creative projects," she said. "I have those things that help me stay relaxed and that allow me to stay happy every day."

Before coming to DHS, MacAllister had a long career in teaching and in the arts and culture non-profit world. She taught with Teach for America for a year and was awarded a Fulbright-Hays grant to study history, culture, and migration for five months in Ethiopia. She was part of team of 14 American teachers who wrote the national curriculum on how to teach Ethiopia. She taught French and English in charter schools and a middle school, but always had an interested in civil service, she said.

“I am honored to work for the commonwealth. My job at DHS has offered me the opportunity to help Pennsylvania’s needy citizens,” MacAllister said. “This award is an honor to be recognized in my daily work life for having special abilities.”

MacAllister has shows coming up at the Wohlfarth Galleries in Washington, D.C.; iMPeRFeCT Gallery in Germantown, and Philadelphia Open Studio Tours East of Broad at the CultureWorks 1315 Walnut Street, Suite 320.

Women’s Caucus for Art –District of Columbia Chapter Juried Show:  

Believing is Seeing

 In the world of science as in much of life, seeing is believing. In the world of art, more often the reverse is true: believing is seeing. In the studio an artist borrows from her own imagination and vision, whether from a very personal inner world, or from the material world around her. Starting with a blank canvas, a lump of clay, or a found object, and drawing on her own life experience and beliefs, the artist transforms her vision into art, sharing her truth with others. This juried exhibition of WCA/DC members’ work affirms their belief that art can be seen all around us.

The Women’s Caucus for Art - District of Columbia Chapter has issued a call for entries for a juried show that opens on December 2, 2016 at Artists and Makers Galleries in Rockville, MD.  Rebecca Cross, owner of the Cross MacKenzie Gallery in Georgetown, will jury the show.
