Miles of Art Tour

MILES OF ART TOUR: OCTOBER 6 and 7, 2012

We need your help! The WOWSPACE will again be a site on the MILES OF ART TOUR. This is a countywide event, widely publicized, with 4 artist studios (each with additional selected artists) and 2 galleries, the WOWSPACE being one of them. Last year, this tour brought hundreds of visitors to the sites who PURCHASED as well as admired the work of the artists. Each site will have its own page on the TOUR web site.

This year our fall show will be “ARTIST’S FREE PLAY: II” which we moved from the summer to the fall to provide a variety of works of art, something which brought many favorable comments last year when the fall show was the “ARTISTS OF ANTIGO,” featuring 18 artists.

WHAT DO WE NEED FROM YOU?

Several sentences or a brief paragraph about you and your work and a photo that best represents your work to put on the WOWSPACE page. We may edit your paragraph for length or clarity.

Our page will note that you have been a past participant in shows at the WOWSPACE because neither of us knows if you will be entering again this year. We very much hope that you do! New instructions will be coming out shortly.

TWO MORE REQUESTS:

1) GROUP PHOTO SHOOT: A high quality mailer is being created and will have a group photo of artists, each holding a piece of their work.
Gresham Lower Dam, WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 7PM. Rain date is THURSDAY, MAY 17, 7 PM. (Map will follow). Let me know if you would like to participate.

2) DEMONSTRATORS: Would you be interested in being a demonstrator at the WOWSPACE on October 6 or 7? Last year we had demonstrators working with pastels and scratch board as well as watercolor painting in the ART PARK. Each artist worked about 2-3 hours; visitors enjoyed meeting the artists and being able to ask questions. Again, let us know.

Get in touch if you have questions. Send me your paragraphs and photo. Let me know if you want to participate in the photo shoot or be a demonstrator. This is a great opportunity for you and your work to get publicity, entice visitors to the WOWSPACE and Shawano County, a win-win for all.

Walls of Wittenbeg

Hello:

My name is Susan Hanson and I'm a member of the Walls of Wittenberg, Inc., a non-profit arts organization based in Wittenberg. I've been trying to contact your Life editor in hopes to run a press release with a few photos for our Spring art show, "Those Johnson Girls and All Their Horses", that opens on Saturday, April, 21 with a wine, beer and cheese gala.

We are featuring wonderful artwork focused on their passion for horses from a family of artists with roots in Tigerton. More information and details are attached in our press release. I've also attached a few photos that will give a taste of the work that will be on display.

Please let me know who to send this to in your Life department, or please forward along to the appropriate people.

You may contact me with any questions by email at sehanson@wittenbergnet.net or 715-253-2580.

I appreciate any support in helping us get the word out about this great art show.

Thank you,
Susan Hanson

A sharp-eyed Patrick Plunkett caught it and sent me the correct dates which are really a Deadline for entries of Friday April 23rd.
