Wendy Musser art show

2009 1st Quarter Studio News - Wendy Musser


Despite the poor economy, I would like to report that art happenings are abounding. Art is one of the many things that can provide cheer and comfort, and be appreciated by everyone. I have been selected to show my artwork in a couple upcoming events that are free to attend.

The first event is the Raleigh Fine Art Society’s North Carolina Artists Exhibition that will be on display March 1 – May 3rd at the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Raleigh. The juror selected 59 pieces from over 500 pieces submitted to the show. So, it should be a great exhibit. The reception is Sunday March 1 from 3:30-5:30.

The weekend of March 28-29 as a part of Western Wake Studio Tour, I will be among 26 artists who will have their studios open to the public. The tour will be kicked off with a show at Cary Town Hall. That show begins February 24th and will run until the day of the tour reception. The reception is to be held on Friday, March 27th from 6-9 pm at Cary Chamber of Commerce. For more details and a map of the tour visit http://westernwakestudiotour.blogspot.com/

Lastly, I have been included in; well my photo was included in an article by Scott Christensen. I was fortunate to study with Scott at his studio in Idaho. His intensive workshop that I attended is reviewed in an article in the new edition of American Artists Workshop Magazine (PDF with several photographs of the beautiful scenery in the Southwest Idaho and the fabulous paintings that Scott creates from its inspiration is attached). That workshop was a special gift from my husband. Hopefully, I will continue to assimilate the workshop information and use it to continue to grow as an artist.

I hope to see you soon,
Wendy Musser

Promoting works and goods of classmates

Stretching the limits of the WGHS76 Blog, today.

Here are some links to information about goods and/or works of fellow classmates:
Brad Spencer, Wendy Musser and Charlie Heavner

BRAD SPENCER
Brad's got some new projects going on and you can click on the link below to find out more:

Tammy and I are in the process of outfitting a coffee house-acoustic music-performance venue in one of our buildings next door to my studio/residence. We are still looking for a partner to run the coffee business but I believe it will happen. It will be a great place to invite friends on a regular basis.
Also, check out the new WalMart in Winston Salem to see Brad's latest brick art.
Also, he mentions to me that he has an interest in the Fringe Festival in Greensboro and one of the plays

WENDY MUSSER
This has been a good month in spite of not painting enough. The weather is breaking and soon it will be time to be out doors painting on a regular basis. But now, you have an opportunity to see a great art show.

I was accepted into the Raleigh Fine Arts 29th Annual Show that will be installed at the Meredith College Rotunda. The juror's lecture is Sunday, March the 4th at 2 pm at the NC Art Museum. The reception is from 3-5 at Meredith College. The show will be displayed until April 8th. It should be a very good one to check out.

Also, The Collectors gallery in downtown Raleigh - 323 Blake Street, 919-828-6500, continues to do a great job displaying my work. They currently have a featured section in the front of the gallery with a grouping of my paintings. If you have a chance to stop by, tell them I sent you.

Coming soon - I was invited to participate in a show honoring Conservation Trust for NC. That show begins April 22. I will send more info on that later.

Have a great Friday,
