MUSELETTER April 20 While I am still in Toronto for the next few months I am curating what I am calling ART SOCIALS. Each artist gets 2 nights in their 2-4 week run (opening gala and artist table talk/Q&A). but what to do with the other tuesdays? they will only get into trouble at the mall. so i am inviting people to speak on the other tuesdays. i hope that there are enough of you like myself that love to learn about all kinds of things that you will make an effort to come and help fertilize the soil for this little world garden. SCHEDULE - Tuesdays 7-9 (come have a healthy dinner, hear something interesting and enjoy community) April 22 Andrea Masse-Tognetti (mask-maker) has kindly offered to come up from Buffalo Andrea is informative, down-to-earth, and her massive credentials make her presentation a must. Do not miss this. April 29 Peter Rhoan Lee (April exhibiting Artist) - will speak about his fascinating paintings that will be surrounding us, use of spices and emf radiation shields in artwork, hemp, motorbikes, his PhD in Genetics and anything you can bring forward with questions. UPCOMING SPEAKERS *John Gundy photos from the making of the new Ingrid Veninger film. *Ingrid will speak about her fascinating approach to film-making *Susan N. Stewart - painting and non-violent communication *John T. - famous painters - extrapolating from their work: what would they be like today? would Da Vinci be constantly texting? would Van Gogh refuse to have a phone? EVENTS ARE FREE (though I do hope some paintings are purchased here and there) LINKS TO ALL THINGS ART SOCIAL to book a seat or table (great organic, non-gmo food there) - - - about ANDREA MASSE (this coming Tuesday) Andrea is informative, down-to-earth, and her massive credentials make her presentation a must. Do not miss this. My name is Andrea Masse-Tognetti, but Im better known as Merimask. Im a self-representing outsider mask artist with no agent, no art degree, no affiliation with any gallery...and yet Ive managed to create a career in my genre with nothing more than my own two hands. My credentials include work created for Cirque Du Soleil, The Metropolitan Opera, an independent film called White Fox Mask, and pieces for the TV show Once Upon A Time, among other things. I appeared on The Martha Stewart Show (shes very tall), and am currently working on designs for a major recording artists world tour. All this happened largely due to my ability to translate my physical work into appealing digital images and effective text, for consumption on social media. As an anachronistic artisan who gets her hands dirty daily creating art using old-world methods, the greatest irony is that my worldwide appeal is due to modern technology. If youre interested in hearing more about how I do what I do, and you wonder if theres a way to parlay a hands-on artisan craft into a burgeoning art career, comment here and let Jane know! Im regionally available to talk at your Art Social this week, and am looking forward to meeting with curious, creative people in a relaxed setting, so we can talk and share experiences and ideas.
