The Un-Intimidator: Annex Gallery’s New Art Talks
By Amy J. Williams
People who love art, make art, buy art, collect art often forget one important thing… lots of people are clueless when it comes to art. They don’t think they can make it (well, maybe they can’t) and they often have no idea what they really like.
In an effort to remedy this situation, Annex Gallery at Taylor Books is offering a four-part series of Art Talks starting 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 8. My co-blogger and artist Charly Jupiter Hamilton will kick off the series at the first Taylor Books Annex Gallery Art Talk. He’s the first in a great lineup of talks given by artists in a salon-style discussion. Charly’s talk, called “Trickster Art,” will undoubtedly be a foray into poetry, stream-of-consciousness thinking and an insight into his unique style of creating art. If you’re missing the Beat generation, Charly is a good remedy. If we’re lucky, he might even reveal a side that not everyone knows… reading his quirky, funny and thoughtfully colorful poetry.
Following months will include Claire Sherwood in March, Peter Massing and Paula Clendenin in April and Joe Mullins in May. Watch for more info about these artists and mark your calendar for an evening that will build your art education and your art self confidence.
