Artists in the News: Jay Teilhet
Teilhet chosen for American Craft Council show in Baltimore
"Jay Teilhet was selected to participate in the 35th American Craft Council Show in Baltimore from Feb. 24 to 27."
Press Release. Tom Watson III at Glen Helen Atrium Gallery
Glen Helen Atrium Gallery Exhibition:
Entropy & Reclamation: The Art of Tom Watson III
February 2 – 28, 2011
Glen Helen Atrium Gallery is showing “Entropy & Reclamation: The Art of Tom Watson III” from February 2 – 28, 2011. The public is invited to meet the artist at the
opening reception on Friday, February 18th from 5:30 – 8:00 pm.
The Gallery is located in the Glen Helen Building at 405 Corry Street in Yellow Springs. Show hours are 9:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday and 10 am to 4 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Admission is free. Artwork will be available for purchase.
The exhibit showcases Watson’s work over the last few years and includes part of his screenprint/mixed media series, Stem/ReAssemblage. Looking at Watson’s brilliant, expressive assemblages you might never realize that they were born of a tragic event. In 2005, Watson suffered a massive brain stem stroke that left him seriously disabled. It was his passion for art that saved him. “While relearning how to write and regaining my fine motor skills, my artwork became a cathartic outlet to help me deal with the emotional turmoil and depression resultant from such a traumatic and life-changing experience.”
Watson’s recent work reflects outwardly the internal transformation that occurred during his physical recovery. While his mind learned to reconnect broken synapses, Watson destroyed and reassembled materials salvaged from earlier silkscreen projects to create a new body of art with a cohesive design.
In the cold, gray days of February this show is a welcome celebration of physical and creative rebirth.

Are you interested in partnering to start a new, small gallery in Yellow Springs?
Or you know someone who is? Or are you an accomplished artist looking for a place to sell work on consignment? I have ideas but need some help making them a reality. If you an easy-going, creative person who wants to get more involved in the YS arts scene, feel free to contact me for brainstorming:

Postcards in a Village
Postcard and photo by Sue Brezine
One of the lovely things about having a pal working in Village Artisans is I can sit and chat and spend time with all the work in there by the various artisans. On a cold day like today it was lovely to come across this bright and cheery postcard . If you are looking for unique cards or postcards this gallery is THE place to go.

Alley Art
from the past
Keith's Alley 2005
The nature of graffiti/street art (not talking about territorial gang tagging symbols) is that it doesn't last long, but I used to really enjoy this one while it lasted.

Spring comes to the Emporium
The opening reception for the Flower Power Group Art Show took place Saturday night, January 8, at the Emporium. While it was wintery weather with temps in the teens outside, inside the coffeehouse it was sunny and Spring-like with flowers everywhere.
The collection includes flower-themed paintings, embroidery, quilts, mosaics, and photographs. Also included were felt flowers from the Flower Power Dayton Street Project that took place last spring. Many of the exhibiting artists took part in last year's project by creating realistic and fanciful flowers that were then attached to benches, railings, sign posts, telephone poles, trees, and trellises. For this exhibit, some of the flower creations were recycled and given new life in vases and on coffeehouse chairs
The exhibit will be up for the month of January. Stop by and bask in the warm glow of Spring. For more photos, visit http://basedonatrueblog.blogspot.com
