Santa Cruz Mountains Art Center, DEBUT APPEARANCE AT CCACA

Greetings! Hope everyone is staying muddy! The main topic of discussion at this upcoming meeting (2/13, 2pm) will be our involvement in 2013 CCACA in Davis! I'm super duper excited, and I need some super duper volunteers! The more people we have, the smoother this event will be. I'm going to create a gallery sitting sign up sheet, there will always be two people sitting at a time over the three day span of the conference. We're going to need help setting up the gallery which includes acquiring appropriate pedestals and lighting. The whereabouts of our show will be unknown to us until April 1st. Because this is our first time participating in the conference, we will pretty much have the last pick of available spaces.

I'm swimming with ideas for sculptures to present, and I want more input, more ideas, and more collaborations. I simply don't have the time to make all of the sculptures I'd like to see in our show. I'd like to go over what sculptures we have so far, what we want to put in, and who wants to make them. In an attempt to have a cohesive style and theme of endangered species, every sculpture will have to pass through a panel of judges (me, Linda, and Norah) to determine whether or not it would compliment the other sculptures, and is appropriate to the conceptual theme.



So let's have a brain hurricane for the upcoming show and get organized!



Thanks, hope to see you there

Hooooooray for clay! Soda Fire's been candling overnight, crankin up the heat slowly but surely. The kiln is breathing fire on Susana Arias' MASSIVE boats (2013 Santa Cruz Artist of the Year!) Liz squeezed in a little family of cuddly urchins, and of course I managed to wiggle in some thrown forms. Come by the art center tonight and see the soda application. Pictures of the unload on Monday.
