Reception for Artists Choice is on Saturday, February 6th from 2-4 pm …
Poetry reading from the book Paumanok from 4:30pm – 6pm

b. j. spoke’s show this coming month will compare and contrast artists’ interpretations of subject matter and styles. For example b .j. spoke’s member Katherine Criss invited Rhonda Bristol to exhibit with her. These two artists met in painting class at the High School of Music & Art and have remained dedicated to their love of art and for exploring human emotions. Ms. Criss’ Webbed Man conveys the deliberateness and mystery of city life, while Ms. Bristol’s Body Language – Stressed Patience reflects a vulnerable young woman. Rhonda and Katherine treat the same subject – people -- very differently. This show is another community outreach as b .j. spoke’s members invite artists they respect and admire to join them.

Through Our Eyes 2009
“Each One Teach One: The Artist as Mentor”
October 22, 2009 – March 26, 2010

The Ritz Theatre & LaVilla Museum is seeking proposals from artists of all disciplines for participation in Through Our Eyes 2009 — Each One Teach One: The Artist as Mentor. Now in its 17th year, Through Our Eyes is Jacksonville’s longest running annual exhibit featuring new works by African American artists.

For this exhibition, established artists with a history of exhibition experience will mentor an emerging artist and assist them through the process of producing one work of art for this year’s show. Work produced by each artist can be collaborative or independent, but should in some way reflect the impact of mentorship. In the exhibition, the work of the mentor and mentee will be shown together. The influence of the mentorship can be expressed visually or through written text. Artist/mentors may submit a maximum of five (5) pieces of their own original work for this exhibition. Additionally, exhibiting artists will participate in the development and or implementation of a minimum of one activity in the Each One Teach One Workshop Series. This once monthly art class is designed to provide hands-on visual arts experiences for youth. Other public programs related to this exhibit will include, but are not limited to, the exhibit opening, Art Walk, gallery talks, workshops, artists’ market and other activities to be determined.

Complete and return your application by Tuesday, June 30 2009. Notifications of acceptance will be made by Monday, July 6, 2009.

On Saturday, January 24th, 10am - 11:30am, the RAM Committee will host a workshop for interested artists, food vendors and farmers. The purpose of this workshop is to receive feedback on the market guidelines (including market layout, booth assignment policy and cost structure, Market policies and procedures).
