FRIDAY, March 13, 7-9pm - Think Gallery VII Opening Reception

Announcing the latest exhibit in the Think Gallery series, Think VIV is a showcase of local talents with mediums ranging from photography, mixed media, sculpture and print. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

Think Gallery founder Cora Lambert launched the nomad art series in 2007 as way to expose talented local artists to their communities. The six previous installations have brought explosive energy to participating restaurants, cafes, and public spaces. Think Gallery’s opening receptions have felt more like block parties than biennials, drawing raucous crowds of locals and connoisseurs alike. The excitement is palpable and the energy is infectious.

While every Think Gallery exhibition is different, one thing remains constant: The work is original and the work is affordable. Works from 14 artists range from $75 – $1,000.

SUNDAY, December 7, 12-6pm - Introduction to Alternative Water-Based Silkscreen Techniques
in the basement

This beginning workshop will introduce you to various alternative screen-printing techniques, including hand-painted screens, handmade stencils, and multi-color printing. Demonstrations will include screen stretching and preparation, mark-making tools, color mixing, and screen cleaning (fun!). Silkscreen is one of the simplest and most flexible printmaking methods. You can experiment with printing on paper, fabric and other materials. Whether you are looking to start your own screen-printing studio, or just want to have some fun, this class will above all be interest-oriented, with a focus on enabling each participant to realize her or his individual creative goals for the day. This class is a great opportunity to make those holiday cards you’ve been procrastinating on… Everyone will leave at the end of the day with some finished single-color prints.

////

This workshop will be taught by Jen Harris. Jen studied Art at Yale University, Queens College (CUNY) and in Italy, at the International School of Art in Umbria. She has lived, worked, exhibited and taught in New York, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Italy and India, among other places. She makes paintings and time-based works Jen P. Harris and runs a small hand-printed silkscreen business Black Sheep Heap in Brooklyn, New York.

SATURDAY, August 23, 7-9pm - Melissa Bastian’s Anywhere I Lay My Head zine release
at 1 Bleecker & Bowery
“Anywhere I lay my head” recounts author Melissa Bastian’s experience with Hurricane Katrina and the ways in which she rebuilt her life and dealt with the ramifications of the disaster. The artist will be present for the full extent of the event to answer questions and discuss the work,
and will be doing a short reading at 8pm. Paintings and photographs of the New Orleans area will be on display that correlate with the context of the work. Also on display will be personal items such as Ms. Bastian’s scrap book of newspaper clippings and her photographs from her first visits back to the city. The event has been intentionally scheduled to fall just six days before the third anniversary of Katrina; the artist hopes to remind people of the storm and to bring attention to the fact that while enormous progress has been made, many people and parts of the city are still struggling. 25% of any revenue generated from zine or artwork sales will be donated to the Common Ground Collective in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans.
