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.

She will be adding new items daily so drop on by and sit a spell! You can find the shop here:

Scars

(Back)

Diva Dawn decided to stick her toe in the water and enter a juried art show at the Paseo in Oklahoma City... Everyone please cross your fingers that my scarred lady gets in!

She's made of barbed wire and "contains" an icy (chandelier crystal) metal mesh heart.

The show is called "Hold It" - The Container Show.

Theme
Inspired and sponsored in part by artist Michi Susan, this Paseo Arts Association juried
exhibition CHALLENGES artists to create a mixed media, three-dimensional container of some type. The judge will look at originality and how well the artist interprets the idea of containment.

Opening Reception
Friday, November 6, 6-10pm
