Artomatic is back! Hundreds of artists on four floors, plus workshops, music, receptions and lots of art lovers.
Jane Pettit Art is in Space 5115 on the third floor. I'm in the back left corner if you enter from the door on Corporate Blvd.
My challenge to myself was to create movement out of shards of pottery. I cleared the shelves of plates and bowls and threw in a chicken and a pig for good measure. Come see the results! Also are some legs at play, red glass that catches the light at sunrise and sunset, swirls of color, ladies at lunch and a little discreet intimacy goin' on.
Saturday, November 14, 1-4pm: I'm teaching a free class on glass-on-glass suncatchers. Come make one to take home.

CALL DESCRIPTION
THE BARN marks the third of four calls for LAND&ART@MARC: A 4 SEASON PROJECT, a collaboration between MARC and WSG to develop and realize land art and land use projects through the four seasons of the year, with the primary focus on farming and agricultural issues. The collaboration seeks to generate a diverse and multilayered program throughout the year that examines farming, agricultural themes in today's societal landscape, and environmental issues through collaborative and participatory creative projects with visitors, volunteers, members, and communities.
We are proud to announce a call for entry for an indoor group exhibition to take place in the horse barn at the Baltimore County Agricultural Center's property that will be transformed into a micro-gallery and art laboratory during the time of the winter season. We are seeking artist teams to collaborate on diverse ideas that incorporate interdisciplinary objectives and relate to the concept of the barn itself. Artist teams are welcome to create installations, sculptures, paintings, or multimedia visuals exploring the theme of the barn with regard to structure, architecture, anthropology (domestication), history, storytelling agriculture, and other disciplines.
THE BARN project provides a horse barn with eight single stalls and an open area in the center. Artist teams will be allowed one stall per team in which to install artwork. A list of links is included below to help applicants investigate interdisciplinary concepts relating to this project.
ABOUT THE SITE
This 149-acre Piedmont farm located in central Baltimore County was once part of a larger 400-acre grain and horse farm dating from the 1700s. Its main homestead was built in the 1800s. While most of the homestead is gone today, the land remains agriculturally preserved as a living outdoor classroom designed to allow the public unfettered access to the many different aspects of agriculture, and provide farmers the opportunity to see innovative practices in a real-world setting.
