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.

Art & Soul VEGAS!

I had the most wonderful experience in Vegas! Instead of glitz and glam ... I got to play artiste' (no accentegue -sp? - on blogger for Americans!) LOL. I had a marvelous time learning to beat the heck out of metal with Richard Salley! (He's not only a wonderful teacher but a fabulous human being! You should all meet him!) And, on day 2, I had another wonderful fab experience with Susan Lenart Kazmer! My new favorite color thing is ENAMEL! ... now just to come up with the denero to purchase a kiln! (but, I do have a torch!) Pics to follow soon...

Scars

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.
