Paseo smART show January 2011!

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to drop you all a quick note to tell you about the smART show coming to the Paseo Arts Space during January's First Friday artwalk on January 7, 2011. The show is juried and offers "small, original works of art for the beginning collector". Opening night festivities are from 6 p.m. - 10 p.m. And, if you cannot make it to the opening, the show runs through January 29, 2011.

The First Friday gallery walk is held on the first Friday and Saturday of every month. The walk starts on Friday at 6pm and lasts until 10pm and on Saturday from 12pm to 6pm. Over 60 artists in more than 17 galleries participate, all within walking distance. Four to six Art Opening Receptions on Friday night showcase the new work of the gallery/studio owners or the work of guest artists. It's an amazing evening and I promise, you won't regret the trip! In addition to all of the fabulous art you will see, there are several fabulous restaurants in the Paseo including Sauced, Picasso's and the Paseo Grill. If you are in the Oklahoma City area, please make ART and the historic Paseo part of your weekend plans!

As a final note, we also wanted to share with you that Diva Dawn was one of the artists juried into the smART show! And, since you are our dedicated blog subscribers, we're sharing her piece with you in advance!

New Etsy Shop!

Diva Dawn has started her own shop on Etsy! But we want you to know, the Diva De will be starting her own shop soon too! (we'll keep you posted!)

The name of the company is Urban Renewal Designs.

The rowdy and raucious home of the previously
discarded.

My motto is renew, refresh, redesign. Each piece
is a journey
through time.

Every piece has it's own story, from heartbreak to
hardware!

I promise to feed your wanderlust spirit with a
trip through
time from spunky couture to heavy metal...

So sit back, with a gleam in your eye and a little gypsy in your heart,
and join me on your own personal fantastical
journey.

I.A.O "Biting the Apple - Cirque Fantastique" 2010

I.A.O. "Biting the Apple - Cirque Fantastique"

***PLEASE BE ADVISED, NUDITY WILL BE DEPICTED IN THIS POST***

We are excited to tell you that Dawn was recently juried into "Biting the Apple - Cirque Fantastique", an erotic art show, at the I.A.O. (Independant Artists of Oklahoma) Gallery in Oklahoma City! It was truly an honor and a privilege for her as only 30 artists were selected for the show! So, we thought we'd share her entry with all of you!







The show was truly a celebration, filled with amazing art, cirque performers, belly dancers, painted performers and music.






(from the I.A.O. website):

Individual Artists of Oklahoma (IAO) will present their 19th annual erotic art show and fetish ball entitled “Cirque Fantastique” on Friday, March 26, and Saturday, March 27, from 7 to midnight, at IAO Gallery, 706 W. Sheridan in the Film Exchange District of Oklahoma City.Over the course of the two nights, this year’s Biting the Apple, “Cirque Fantastique,” will quite literally be a circus of fantasies that aims to explore how our fantasies are reflected in popular culture through movies, literature, and even modern myth. By providing an approachable and safe atmosphere, IAO hopes guests will come together in celebration of our fantasies to gain insights into eroticism through a wide array of individual artwork.
