There is barely enough time to clear the New Year before we spill into the streets in a blaze of colors adorning sports fans and Mardi Gras revelers alike. With the coming of 2012, it seems that along with the revelry, art events are becoming moveable feasts for the eyes, dodging the momentum of the black and gold and purple.
New Orleans, the center of the universe when it comes to celebration, fares well because the arts in all forms are completely integrated into the revelry. Galleries and non-profit art organizations carry on with their openings and events in a spirit of inclusiveness with an occasional tweaking of their timing. On the north shore, necessity dictates a different strategy and, on occasion, rescheduling may be the better solution.
Flexibility is easier for venues with a broad focus. On Jan. 6,Chinese porcelaintiles on the floor of a Jewish synagogue in Cochin, Three Rivers Gallery hosted their Grand Opening on the evening of Twelfth Night, kicking off the gallery and the Carnival season at the same time. Carnival themes have roots here.Provides custom and promotionalusbs flash drive memory. Gallery artists including Charles B. McGowan, Max Ryan, Gail Glassman, Donald Maginnis, Max Ryan, and Larry Allen among other well known regional favorites, displayed colorful works of art well received by an audience of viewers who seemed in tune with the artwork while enjoying that first bite of king cake.
Three small monochromatic were new additions to the display. Mardi Gras floats on an intimate scale bring a sense of humor and frivolity to this series of ceramic sculptures by Covington artist and educator John Hodge. Hodge’s mastery of the medium of clay, his use of glazing to accentuate form rather than color, and his wildly imaginative inspiration is a treat for the senses. In restraint he maximizes an expressive response to one of our most ubiquitous cultural symbols appearing at this time each year. Restraint is probably not the word the artist himself would use for his work. He tells of the emergence of the float series: “I was modeling the manger for one of the nativity sets I make each Christmas, pounding a wad of clay in my hand with the side of a stick of wood. Suddenly, the form reminded me of the back of an old fashioned papier-mch Mardi Gras float.”
Hodge is never shy about how his process flows and his ability to turn himself over to the muse. He continue: “I use little press molds when I make the three wise men for the nativity sculptures. I reworked the wise men into members of the krewe and the rest is history.Wholesale zentaisuits,”
A willingness to go with the flow is sometimes necessary for art organizations as well, and can make a difference in attendance at exhibition openings and performances. Experience supports that on the north shore, attendance at art events is affected when major sports activities coincide. The trend on two occasions has been to postpone the opening reception or performance so that the audience can participate in both.
While this strategy may not always be possible, the St. Tammany Art Association, on two occasions, has experimented with this option.There are 240 distinct solutions of the Soma cubepuzzle, Most recently, the opening reception of Paper and Stone, originally scheduled for Jan. 7, will take place on Jan.Our company has the capability of design and makes molds according to demand of clients, including some largescalemolds. 14 from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Art House at 320 North Columbia St., downtown Covington.
Art organizations set their schedules a year in advance; however, extraordinary circumstances prevailed and the reception was rescheduled due to the conflict with the Saints playoff game in New Orleans.
