Gearing Up for the Holiday Season

10/21/2016

 
So I will be at the annual the More The Merrier at Art Ark with my little red tool box.  With everyone's awesome feedback I've been playing around with some new ideas as to how to improve comfort, durability as well as bringing in a whole slue of new designs.   

If you have not marked your calendars, pencil the exhibition now.   There are two exhibition dates.


    Opening Reception: Friday, November 4, 2016, 6pm-9pm
    Closing Reception: Friday, December 2, 2016, 6pm-9pm


As always there will not only be great art but live music and refreshments.  I cannot wait to see everyone there.   

Visit the Art Ark page to get a little preview of some of the artist exhibiting!  And if you would like more updates on For The Love of The Shop, Work It folllow me in Instagram @lyssaplease or #fortheloveoftheshop

Although its a challenge, at times it is necessary to marathon some art.  Two weekends ago stars aligned and I had a three day marathon of amazing art events.

The first stop on my art filled weekend is the closing reception for Border Cantos - Richard Misrach and Guillermo Galindo at the San Jose Museum of Art.  I was fortunate enough to see Guillermo perform earlier this summer, in a far more intimate setting I might add, because the performance for the closing of the show was well attended.  Standing room only!  

It's a #fullhouse the San Jose Museum of Art for the closing of #bordercantos #seewhatyouthink

​Friday night my girl friends and I found ourselves in the Saratoga Mountains at the Montalvo Arts Center for their #5hourscuplturepopup.   It was a night of food trucks, live music, art performances and installation art through out the grounds.

By far my favorite piece on view at the grounds is by Allison Wiese!

The last stop on my art-a-thon was SOMARTS for their annual event, Night Light: Multimedia Garden Party which was in conjunction with their current exhibition The Black Woman is God.

​I cannot say it enough, but when ever I come out for one of their events, I have a blast. A night filled with interactive art, performance from spoken word to dance, musical performances all night and amazing food and drinks. 
​

Okay, pardon my dancing along. Can't help but feel the #creativevibes @somarts

I am still swaying my hips to some of the amazing musical performances from that night. And in particular the closers for the evening, Zakiya Harris and Elephantine.
