NSAG at the Overture
Exciting News! NSAG has been selected to exhibit at the Oveture in 2008. Our exhibit will hang January-March 2008 in Gallery III.
Details right now are a bit vague. The Oveture will host a meeting in August to provide more information, and NSAG will hold a meeting in early September.
January is closer than you think, so you can begin creating now!
Our theme for the exhibit is "Reflections of the Northside". In brief, your artwork should portray some element of you define the Northside or what you find valuable about the Northside within your preferred artistic medium.
I proposed the exhibit as follows in our application:
"The exhibit will enable the greater community to explore and to learn about Madison’s Northside through visual art. The Northside is an extremely environmentally, culturally and socioeconomically diverse community. It is home to Cherokee Marsh, Warner Park, the Governor’s Mansion, Mallards baseball, Troy Gardens, Dane County Regional Airport, the Vera Court, Kennedy Heights, Northport and Packers community centers and more. Artists have endless opportunities to create art based on their neighborhood while challenging their own artistic explorations."
At this point, every artist will be able to exhibit one piece within a limited size range. There will be a fee of some sort (roughly $30) to partake in this show to cover exhibit costs. If the fee is a challenge for you, please talk to me (Dana) or another NSAG coordinator.
Of course, we will need help coordinating the show. There are countless ways to get involved. If you have an interest in mind, please let me know. Sign up sheets will also be available at the September meeting.
If you have any questions, please ask.
NSAG coordinators,
Kristi, Dee, Linda, Macia and Dana
