OFF THE WALL - HOW TO-S

CALLING ATLANTA ARTISTS: 4th ANNUAL OFF THE WALL: 1-2-3
September 9 2010 at the Defoor Centre

Atlanta GA- Defoor Centre continues its tradition of the Off The Wall show on September 9 2010 at 7PM with an opening around the large facility showing off local Atlanta artists and their wonderful works! Choose from many pieces varying in mediums, sizes, and get this selling at these following prices $100-$200-$300 – so be apart of this crazy idea!

Here’s the plan layout:
1- Go through your studios find pieces that fit those three price ranges get them ready for showing – meaning wires on paintings, sculptures on stands, etc. ONLY ONE PIECE PER PRICE! You can show up to three pieces or you can just sell one in one price range.

Yes there is a gallery split 60/40 and tax will be applied to the sales.

MAKE YOUR OWN PRICE TAG CARD-please include your name-title of work-medium and what price point it is, so we can separate them in groups. You maybe bring all the cards and brochures you want to pass out.

2- Bring your work, display cards, and signed contract in by September 3rd (late comers are fine and if you can’t bring them in anytime sooner – game day is fine just but by 7PM is the cut off time)
3- Contracts will be available via email me and at the Defoor Centre- please contact me at jill@scribblesstudios.com or via the all the links listed below:

This is a chance for artists to get their work out there, meet other artists and possibly sell. There have been artists that have done this for the past three years and they have had success at the show and after, where it gave them a little push to get their work out there.

The Defoor Centre is located off Howell Mill Rd in Atlanta in the reviving Westside neighborhood, where a lot of local vendors that cater to the interior designers have been going to for years. The Defoor Centre has been a growing facility hosting major fundraisers to corporate meetings to private weddings all in house catering with a full bar. 100 years ago this place was a hospital for the soldiers fighting at the Battle of Peachtree Creek and to this day they are “still there.”

For more information on the Defoor: www.defoorecentre.com or just come by Tues-Friday to get something to eat and browse – 1710 DeFoor Ave Atlanta GA.

The Weekly Skirt Report May

On May 16 at 1:30PM the Defoor Centre will be hosting a show for Ray Harbour and Shijun Munns for their unique pieces of work:

Soul Visions will be a month long show for local Atlanta artists: Ray Harbour and Shijun Munns - two very innovative artists that take viewers on their life journey through their native cultures.

Healing of Mother Earth, humanitarian efforts, community building, and social concerns are integral to Ray’s offering as an artist. She is committed to participating in the great journey of healing and transformation. Through art and writing, Ray discovers her inner truths and revelations about the outer world. She shares her journey, fears, wounds, struggles, joys, and learnings in a stream of consciousness style through images and words.

Shijun cares about everything that could touch off an old days feelings; ancient poetry with implied meaning, ancient pottery with rough and simple design, flying faeries on the ancient silk road. Indeed, Shijun seems to look back into space-time while her paintings spring forward into our time to bring us images of deep and profound souls glimmering in soft, golden light.

So come spend this special Sunday afternoon at the Defoor Centre for an unforgettable journey!
