| | | CLOSING RECEPTION for: Don't Feed The Artists An exploration of the art making process, live and in the flesh
Friday, March 29th from 6-9pm @ Arthaus Projects | | |
|
| | Arthaus Projects, a community oriented non-profit art space located in downtown Williamsport, is announcing the closing reception of "Don't Feed the Artists" a new experimental exhibition exploring the art making process, live and in the flesh. We've had almost all 50 blank canvases painted by local artists throughout the month. We will be holding a closing reception to review the finished works in the gallery on Friday, March 29th from 6 – 9pm. Often times we take for granted the painstaking process many artists take when they approach a blank canvas. Once the work is on display we are quick to dismiss it as good or bad art, or can be as critical as to say “My kid could do that.” What if we had an exhibit where the works on display were made right before your eyes and you could see the process and rework that happens as an artist battles the canvas? Coming to Arthaus Projects in March we will be doing just that. We are inviting a select number of artists and good friends to come to the gallery on opening night and create during the opening. The gallery will be lined with blank canvases and artists are asked to work in the designated “studio spaces” to create what inspires them that evening. Once complete, the works will be exhibited among the remaining blank canvases and artists are encouraged to come back and tackle the other canvases until the gallery display is complete. Canvases, brushes, and acrylic paints will be provided by Arthaus Projects. All other materials, if needed, are to be provided by the artist. Works will be for sale with prices ranging as follows: 5x7 ($40), 12x12 ($75), 18x24 ($125). If you are an artist that is interested in participating, use the form at https://www.arthausprojects.com/dont-feed-the-artists/ to sign up.

| | We have teamed up with local professor and artist John McKaig for a great workshop that teaches you the basics of drawing. These classes will be hosted in conjunction with our upcoming "Don't Feed the Artists" exhibition where patrons are invited to paint on the blank canvases in the gallery. Classes are 4 hours and only $40. For course curriculum and materials required, check out our website. Please email john@arthausprojects.com if you'd like to register. | | |

Olivia is a stand-up comedian who grew up in the suburbs of Orange County, CA.
Olivia made a name for herself as a roaster in the Belly Room of the World Famous Comedy Store in Los Angeles when she was too young to legally enter the 21+ venue. Olivia quickly became a staple of the growing Roast Battle phenomena. She was featured in a documentary short about the show directed by Jason Rietman that premiered at Sundance in 2016. Olivia has performed on all three seasons of Jeff Ross Presents: Roast Battle on Comedy Central. Most recently, Olivia was a writer for the 2018 Roast of Bruce Willis. Olivia has participated in the Just For Laughs Festival and New York Comedy Festival.
When not doing stand-up in New York or Los Angeles, Olivia can be seen performing in various bars, clubs and living rooms across the U.S.
Also performing will be Albert Kirchner, Marlyn Flynn, and Chris Chimmer with Kevin Seibert hosting. Doors open at 7:30, show starts at 8. Tickets are $5 in advance, $10 at the door. This show is B.Y.O.B., but please have I.D. if you intend to D.R.I.N.K. | | |

| | | CALL FOR ARTISTS: Submit your work to Repurposed, our fourth annual juried exhibition focused on the adaptive reuse of materials for art's sake DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS
SATURDAY, APRIL 27TH | | |
|
| | Don’t put that water bottle in the trash, make some art out of it! Our “throw-away” society has run rampant with our consumption of one-use disposable items. In 2015, we produced globally 381 MILLION metric tonnes of Plastic and managed to recycle only 20%! At Arthaus Projects, we think it’s time to step up and inspire people to creatively repurpose old materials! Arthaus Projects, a community-oriented non-profit art space located in downtown Williamsport, is excited to announce the theme for their fourth annual juried exhibition “Repurposed.” “Repurposed” is a juried exhibition focused on the adaptive reuse of materials to create new art. Participating artists are asked to create an original piece of artwork that utilizes some sort of found object, or unusual recycled medium as the base for the piece. Examples include (but are not limited to) books, windows, or any use of non-traditional materials in the creation of a piece. The goal should be to create something beautiful out of materials that might have wound up in the landfill. This is a juried visual art competition and exhibition that is open to two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and digital artists working in any medium except performance art. There is no age restriction (under 18-year-old applicants will need a parent or guardian’s consent and signature on the back of the entry form to apply). Work may not exceed the size of 35″ wide x 82″ high unless it can be broken down and re-assembled within the gallery. Jurors Include: Matthew Zarzyczny, Kurt Herrmann, Paul McGinn, and Joel Ryder Calendar:
April 27th: Postmark deadline for receiving images

| | Coming in April: Expectations (Intentions) featuring Lock Haven Professor Vance McCoy April 5 - 27th, 2019
Opening Reception: Friday, April 5th from 6-9pm @ Arthaus Projects | | |
|
| | The work, extensions (intensions), is the artists response to several literary works he has read over the past few months. Beginning with Fyodor Dostoevsky. Notes from the Underground, D.H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterly’s Lover, Jerzy Kosinski’s The Painted Bird, and, most recently, Hermann Hesse’s Steppenwolf. Questioning narratives that explore varying aspects of the human condition; specifically, the perpetually unresolved, or more decidedly, the contradictory nature of being. These works were the springboard that lead McCoy the making of this series of paintings. His sculptures are also intended to be an exploration of the formal contradictions and tensions between seemingly opposing, and therefore, complementary elements.
The work, by design, is an exercise in the representation of the merging of the insubstantial with the concrete; to explore the fluidity of color in relation to geometric shape and gestural line; to ultimately, find harmony through discordant imagery. McCoy seeks to investigate the bonding and necessary relationships between opposing concepts. Translating those ideas visually to reveal a sense of oneness through opposition, to hopefully, create delicacy of movement combined with moments of force.
And yet, There’s no getting around it, it’s about McCoy. It’s about the process. It’s about working
intuitively, developing imagery that speaks to the artist. A manifestation, a continuation, an extension of himself; a personal dialogue with color, shape, and line. The exhibition opens Friday, April 5th from 6 – 9pm, and is on display until Saturday, April 27th. | | |
