imagesMaybe you heard a rumor or two about a possible ACAC move..? Well this is the case! The Arkansas Community Arts Co-operative are moving from our present location on the 14th block of south Main St. in Little Rock to our new location on South Rodney Parham in between Vestcom and Kanis park. The old Gallery B building.

The A.C.A.C. will initiate its move at the 1409 south main st(down from Jaunitas Cantina) this Sat. at 11am. The Idea is to have at least a half a dozen or so people maybe split up into a couple of work camps utilizing a couple of trucks, and at least one trailer. The moving part will last most of the day. Think until 5 or 6ish. Volunteer work, no matter how brief is much appreciated. Do what you can.

greenmuseum_sampleWith the environmental movement progressing and everything going green, I thought I would check into the way the arts is impacting the green movement.

What I found was the Green Museum. The Green Museum is an "online museum emerged from our own experiences making environmental art and from seeing firsthand some of the challenges facing artists, community groups, nonprofit organizations and arts institutions when it came to presenting and discussing environmental art."

Ventura artist Scott L. Jacobs can attest to the notion that life can turn on a dime.
Things are looking up for the 22-year-old street painter, who lost his home but now appears headed for the big time.
It didn’t look that way on the day Barack Obama was elected the next president of the United States. About 9 that morning, the people he was staying with asked him to move out.
“You’re an artist,” Jacobs said he was told. “We’re not sure if you’re going to be able to pay the rent.”

inspirationI know I sometimes aspire to have an artistic outlet other that designing web sites - don't get me wrong, I really enjoy web development - but I have trouble starting somewhere.

I look at lots of art obviously, and I know what styles and genres appeal to me, but oh where to start? In web development, the hardest part is the overall design of the site and the layout of the constituent parts. Once I have that accomplished, the rest of the process just seems to come gushing out of my head and onto the screen.

question_markI have always wondered about this question. I assume art is what anybody says it should be. The dictionary says it is...

" the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance."

I am a website developer by trade and Rhonda always says that what I do is art and I say not really because its just a collection of tricks I have learned how to do. Of course then when I speak to artists about the subject, I find out that the art world is full of tricks of the trade.

Your Canvas Junkie Host

I am your host at Canvas Junkie and work in several media. I design and make one of a kind sculpture you can wear or jewelry.

As well as paint, make found object sculpture and generally will chase after anything sparkly. When I was a teen my dad would introduce me as his daughter with the disclaimer of "You know artists are weird".

Now that I have seen many years of life pass by (I'm in denial about exactly how many)............. I'm happy to be known as an artist because....... life is just weird.
