Come see artists in their natural environment. Dare to step into their unbarred cages where they make their art. Feel free to feed them (artists have a reputation for being extremely hungry). Whatever you do, don't miss the Artist Petting Zoo! Okay, it's really Open Studios, but tell the kids it's an artist petting zoo—they'll love it.
I really want you to come and visit during ArtSpace's Open Studios. It's where I make my hats, and it's where I've found a very important Maynard community—the artist community. With about eighty artists working in the studio building, we're a pretty substantial group.
This year ArtSpace has had some changes. Aside from some important building maintenance, there were some changes in artists. One artist had to move out, and we miss her terribly, but we did gain about eight new artists, a few of them from right here in Maynard. We even had one of our artists move here from Stow to be closer to her studio. (Originally from New York City, she loves that she can walk to so many great places right here in our small town.)
Two of our artists (Ingrid Goldboom and Jen Maestre) will be missing Open Studios because they're flying to Azirbaijan. They were chosen to participate in the Fourth International Exhibition "From Waste to Art" to create recycled art for a museum. The group responsible brings artists from around the world (this year there are 10 and only 2 from the US, our Maynard two!) to create art to highlight reuse and recycling. There will be a big event with high government officials October 2nd, and our Maynard artists will be there for about two weeks making pieces that will go on display there. We're all super proud of them. You'll still be able to visit their studios even when they're gone, so come and see why they would have been chosen for such a cool project.
The annual show in the ArtSpace gallery has more art than every before. It's beautiful to see visual representations of so many of our artists, so make sure you stop into that part of the building.
There are so many wonderful artists worth visiting, and I'd love to mention them all, but there's just not enough room. There are also so many artists that I can't know what new things they're up to. Instead, I'll make some suggestions of things you shouldn't miss:
• Trina Baker: She and her husband, Curvin Huber, teach and do animation.
• Brenda Cirioni: Be sure to take a closeup look at her paintings.
• Andrew Child: Had a very successful KickStarter and is publishing a book of photos of Cuba.
• Priscilla Alpaugh Cotter: has been doing tons of illustration and has been working on some animation. She's always posting new work on her Facebook page.
• Catherine Evans: She did the community arts project that hangs on the fence across from ArtSpace. Now she's taking remnants from that project and turning them into something new.
• Gwen Murphy: You may know her for her shoe sculptures, where she turns old shoes into beings. She also reuses old bathroom scales in some of her more recent art.
• Sue Huszar makes sculpture out of bones. Seems strange, right? Some of it's really cute.
• There are free concerts at the end (5:15) of both days of the event, first with Berit Strong on Saturday, and Ron Hertz and his trio Shikaya on Sunday. .
Stop in to my studio—I'd love to see you and show you my hats. While you're there, ask me about the ArtSpace Honeybee Meadow.
And don't be shy! Your questions let the artists know that you find something interesting in their work, so ask away!
Here are the details:
Visit the studios and view the work of more than 75 artists, both emerging and long practicing, including painters, sculptors, bookbinders, ceramicists, a milliner, photographers, print makers, illustrators, jewelers, musicians & writers.
Here we invite you to explore the artists’ world outside of the normal gallery experience. Meet the artists, ask questions and see how they work in their own studios.
In addition to seeing these studios, visitors will see a group exhibit in the ArtSpace Gallery and join a backstage tour of the Acme Theater.
