Gilcrease Museum

Four art events coming up

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

In searching through the internet, I’ve noticed quite a few events coming up across the country. Some of them are museum events, some are gallery events, but all support the art world. I’m hoping that with this keen category system, some people from the actual cities will be able to find these events. Here’s hoping.

Don’t 3, St. Petersburg, FL, NOW

The Studio @620 is presenting a multi-media performance piece by Alice Ferrulo of Black Horse Theatre. The set designer is Frank Strunk III, one of my favorite artists. The photo is by Michael Conway. The show runs until Jan. 19, so catch it while you can.

Charles Banks Wilson: An Oklahoma Life in Art, Tulsa, OK, NOW

As I reported yesterday, Charles Wilson was an Oklahoma artist. The Gilcrease Museum of the Americas is holding an exhibit through March 9.

Lights: A Photographic Exploration, Bellevue, PA, JAN. 19

The Pittsburgh, PA blog reports that Creative Treehouse will be holding this one night event of poetry and photography. The Shutouts, Andrew James, The Dream Intended, and The Jim Dandies will be providing music.

Art for the Heart Silent Auction, San Francisco, CA, FEB 7-9

I read about this auction on the blog Diary of a Crafty Chica. The auction benefits the Encantada Gallery; the auction preview is Feb. 7-9. The auction isn’t until the evening of Jan. 9. Due to setbacks caused by a house fire, the owner of the gallery, Mia Gonzalez may have to close shop. The auction is designed to keep this from happening.

That’s what struck my fancy this week. If you know of any events going on in your area, please feel free to let me know about them.
