I'm participating in Art House Gallery's The Space Between Us, where artists submit a 4 x 6 inch work of art. The pieces will be exhibited in Brooklyn, New York and will be voted on by the viewers of the show for the 100 best. The 100 with the highest votes will be put on the Art House Gallery website for another round of voting. The 50 artists with the highest votes will create a larger piece for a second exhibition. The person with the most votes will be granted a $1000 artist grant.

If you're in Brooklyn on March 19th go visit the show and vote for me! Look on my blog for an image of the piece I submitted.

I forgot to post that I am in the Tilting at Windmills show at Gallery Gray. Gallery Gray is primarily an online gallery based in the Minneapolis, MN area, but will show exhibitions at other galleries or alternative spaces. Tilting at Windmills is currently online at www.Gallery-Gray.com.

I will be showing a small drawing (titled Out of My Hands from my series Epistemological Pursuits) at Elon University's Arts West Gallery on December 8th in Elon, NC. These shows are pretty cool because there is so much to look at. Plus exhibiting small works helps keep egos in check. The show will be up until February 3, 2010.

I will be participating in Tacoma's Art Slam. This event is free to the public and should be a lot of fun!

Here's the description:

In celebration of the 8th anniversary of Art at Work: Tacoma Arts Month, the Tacoma Arts Commission is hosting an Art Slam on Wednesday, November 18. Doors open at 6:30 and the event runs from 7 to 9 pm at the Rialto Theater in downtown Tacoma.

Join us for a reception in the Rialto lobby following the event, allowing community members an opportunity to mingle.


What is an Art Slam? In a fast-paced format, a selection of work by local visual and performing artists will be projected on the big screen, set to a soundtrack of musical accompaniment. Live dance and spoken word performances will be interspersed between segments of the show. An accompanying description of artists’ work and contact information will be included in a program. Artists of all mediums and genres will show their work, ranging from the very accomplished to the up and coming. Everyone presents their work in the same format. The Art Slam is a place for artists and art enthusiasts to gather and share their work in a non-competitive atmosphere. The event is meant to be a fun, relaxed and inspiring evening, reminding us why we create art in the first place.

In addition to the live November 18 show, the Art Slam will be available for free public viewing on Click! ON Demand’s TacomaArt & Culture channel through December 2010. ON Demand is accessible to anyone who is a Click! Cable TV customer with a digital receiver.

I will be participating in Fragile Skin: The Boarder Among to Being and to Appear. The show is in Lecce, Italy at Primo Piano LivinGallery starting September 13. I will have a couple pieces in the show, and hopefully they sell cause I don't want to ship them back!

I will be showing at Two Vaults Gallery in Tacoma, WA from August 20th through September 12th. The show is titled Rabbitual and as you've probably guessed, it's about rabbits! The opening is Thursday August 20th, so you better come down (the rabbit hole) and see me!

Thanks to the work of my friend and artist, Andrew Peterson and the Redmond Arts Administration, the Tent Show is traveling to Redmond, WA on July 25. It will be held at Redmond City Hall Greenspace on Saturday, July 25, 2009 from 10 am to 7 pm. Again anyone is welcome to join in on the fun! You can contact me if you have any questions about participating this summer under the "Contact" section of my website. Tent Shows have always been fun, commercial free, social and communal events! Hope to see you there!

Oh, and of course I will be there with a new tent!

The opening of my thesis exhibition at the Museum of Fine Art at WSU opens Friday April, 10 at 6:00 PM. If you're in the area you should definately stop by. I will be showing new and unseen work (plus some of the work that's here on the website). The show will be up through May 9, 2009.

I will be participating in the Art House's third "The Sketchbook Project." Here is their description of the event:

Art House is all about community. You don't have to be a professional artist to participate in the exhibition. This project is about being creative and inspiring yourself and others. We want to bring artists together and give everyone a chance to show in museums and galleries around the country! Sign up and we'll send you a Moleskine sketchbook. The theme of the show is "everyone we know". You have until February 15th, 2009 to send your sketchbook back to us. We'll take your sketchbook, along with every else's, on tour with us to the dates below.

The next Tent Show will be held at WSU on November 8, 2008. It will be at the corner of Stadium and Grimes from 11 am to 6 pm.

The Tent Show in Spokane on October 4th has been canceled. New dates and locations are being pursued, so stay tuned because Tent Show 2008 is going to happen!

On Saturday October 4th in Spokane, Washington's Riverfront Park will host the next Tent Show. I will be showing a new tent along with my tent from last year. This is a really fun event and is open to everyone. I am going to post a link in my friends section and make a folder with pictures from the Tent Show in Pullman last year.

Here's the Manifesto:

A Traveling Arts Encampment, originates in the Fine Arts Department of Washington State University. Tent show is an art exhibition that explores the boundaries of the field by operating outside of the museum and gallery context. Participants are free to experiment and to expect exciting, uncontrolled juxtapositions. Participation in the Tent show is open to all interested parties. The work must be able to be put up and taken down in one day, it should require no electricity and be able to withstand the elements. This unusual opportunity invites responsive, interdisciplinary visual expressions, evolving collaborations, and performance.

I'm looking forward to see you and your tent!

This week I will be showing work from my first year in graduate school in Gallery 2 at Washington State University. Closing reception will be Friday April 18, 2008 at 5:00 pm.
