hi everyone
hope you are well
here is a detail from a picture I just put up in studio 124 at the Jacksonville Center

this is oil paint on plastic, and under the plastic there are some old maps of the New River

I also installed some work there a few days ago in the residential facility, here is a non-inclusive list of things that will be set up there for this exhibit.

photography - Mack Whatley, Beth Jones
quenahachi walking stick flute, transverse flute - Billy Miller
postcards, posters, installation art - Suzy Nees
poetry, sumi ink calligraphy - A'Court Bason
charcoal drawing - Joseph Kelley

the show is not completely up yet, I am setting some new things there in a few days or so.

if you would like a tour of this space please get in touch with Chris at the Jacksonville Center.

ja ne, have a great day.
-Suzy

hi everyone

hope you all are well
many thanks to everyone who made the 22nd such a wonderful day

the snake hollow string band will be playing at Floyd Fest this weekend
look for them near the kids' tent

the exhibit up now at Traces will be there until September 1 and after that I am not sure what will be in there

I am planning to place an ad in the paper today similar to the one below

---...---

Studio or art display space
Prime location at the Jacksonville Center in Floyd
For rent by the day, week, or month
Please email info@ideapark.org for details
To tour the space and learn about amenities, please call 540-745-2784 and ask for Wayne

---...---

this is part of an effort to keep the gallery open past September 1 since I can't find any more money for this project.

if you know someone who might be interested in subleasing the Traces space please cut & paste the ad above & send it to them. I am also open to the idea of keeping it open as an art co-op, or a food or clothing bank, if I can get enough participation. If you would like to be involved in something like that please make your interests known ASAP.

I'd love to keep the space open through the winter and on into spring but it has become much too difficult for me to manage alone.

anyway I need to go now and take care of some things, have a great day & thanks for reading.

-Suzy

hi everyone
hope you are well

things here are fine, but holy cow it is hot

yesterday I had a whole bunch of trouble getting some of my blog pages to display correctly, for some reason they suddenly started looking really bad in certain browsers

in the process of fixing this I lost the links I had compiled and I am starting over...

just in case anyone is looking at this page and saying oh! no! my ideapark.org link sleeps with the fishes.

it's not like that at all. although I do like things a little cleaner than I had been keeping them.
also this is a good time to work in some links I have been overlooking too long, like yesh.com

anyway I need to go now. take care & have a great day.

hi everyone

here is some news
Carbon Culture has a gig coming up rather soon at whiskers, check the help you shop blog
the last show there was very very good.
also they will be playing at the floyd fandango.

There are some new things in studio 124 now, including a recent copy of National Geographic magazine. thanks very much to the family who donated that.

also I have an archival print for sale there for the first time
this is the nantoka-as-kwannon picture.

let me see, what else. the weather is just beautiful. several of us have been talking about getting together on July 22 in the late afternoon at the Jacksonville Center to have a bit of a party.

There are several things to celebrate, some of them long overdue, like welcoming new CBI neighbors Bob and David.

Look for postings on this in the ideapark.org news.

ja ne, have a great day. -Suzy
