Atomic Fox: Mid Century Modern Antique

"Atomic Fox specializes in Mid Century Modern Antiques ranging from furniture, lighting to decor." I always enjoying visiting, the place is filled to the brim with goodies. 

They are also a consignment service that provides research and sales for all antiques, collectibles and items of value.

 Just to share a little background Atomic Fox was created after many years of appreciating, collecting and selling antiques and unique items. After they bought their 1950's Atomic Ranch (featured in 1954 in Better Homes and Gardens) our passion for the architecture and furniture grew. You can read more on their Atomic Fox fb page.Atomic Fox also posts temping goodies on Instagram, Pinterest and has an online shop on Etsy.

Terry  is also an Auctioneer 

Terry R.Fox and Talitha Greene

and will be doing the Auction next month at the Yellow Springs Arts Council Gallery for Talitha's "For the Birds" exhibit.

Thanks Terry

Yellow Springs Arts Council: For the Birds Exhibit

Press Release

We have a multi faceted show coming up with photographer Talitha Greene.  Talitha has spent years taking photographs of Birds in the Glen Helen Raptor Center.  She has told me stories about saving a hurt raptor bird herself by throwing a blanket over it and rushing it to the Raptor Center.  You can see her affection for these birds in her portraits of them.  She has learned their stories and what they like and don't like. 

This is a quote from Talitha's artist statement: "I do this because I truly love it. When I am taking photos I forget about everything else.  I've forgotten to eat. I've found myself sitting in the dark as the day turned into night. It is true escapism for me. And I love it."

So for her June YSAC Gallery show she wanted to make it a fundraiser "For The Birds."  

She planned a very complex show- that mixes in 10 volunteers from Glen Helen ( the Raptor Center is part of Glen Helen) many local artists donating bird art, Terry Fox, a local auctioneer, Meadowlark Restaurant, Dino's Cappuccinos, the Jafagirls, a local blues band and YS Arts Council all donating time and work for the birds.

Rita Caz in the News

Mark Crockett by Talitha Greene

Xenia Daily Gazette has a nice article about Rita Caz by Ron Siemer. For those unfamiliar with Rita Caz, it is a jewelry store/gallery in Kings Yard owned by Mark Crockett and his wife Gail Zimmerman. If fine crafted original jewelry isn't your thing then check out their guitars, rocks, minerals or gemstones.

We've Got Balls: Art Balls that is!

Original wacky art
is now available for a mere pittance in the ART BALL machine. Four Yellow Springs Jafa's (Corrine Bayraktaroglu, Nancy Mellon, Talitha Greene, Deb Housh) joined forces to bring you art in a ball. Keep your eyes peeled for the "Art Ball" machine outside Village Artisans for one day only, June 9th, Street Fair Day.

It will be available again Art Stroll night, June 15th for the Chamberpot Gallery's opening reception at the Train Station.

If you miss both chances, don't fret, the "Art Ball" machine has found a home in the Emporium after June 15th.

Each ball will contain a little piece of art and a little joke, quote, or some trivia.
