To become shaped into such folds or ridges and grooves.

On Thursday and Friday evenings in August, the community is invited to create fine art sculpture out of a graffiti-grade medium, pitting notions of spontaneity and transition against ideals of permanence and tradition. Cardboard and other materials will inspire ideas and forms found in couture designs. The collaborative nature of the lobby activity will encourage a range of discussions with high art intentions while remaining true to an ingrained craft persuasion.

The completed pieces will range from shoes and accessories to couture designs ranging in size from 1/12th scale mock-ups to human-size couture.



Thursday and Friday evenings in September
Featured Activity: The Nature of Art: In response to Chihuly

Who doesn’t love art that breaks the mold? Chihuly’s colors and presentations stimulate the imagination in ways ordinary works rarely do. During the month of September, visitors will be invited to shape and twist cardboard, paper and other recycled items in response to the Chihuly exhibition. Recycled and environmentally friendly, the completed artwork will transform the Frist Center’s Grand Lobby into a working studio each Thursday and Friday evening. The sculpture created will be an expression of the artist’s point of view but also a statement about the nature of Chihuly’s art.


The art making activities in the Grand Lobby is FREE and open to all visitors.

Two Guest Speakers!

Jennifer Casale
Poet & owner of The Green Wagon
&
Shawn South-Aswad
Artist/Owner Silo Studios & dog rescuer

August 13
11:00 am - 1 pm

Jennifer Casale is the founder of The Green Wagon & a Green Consultant, who taught recycling and water conservation at Tucson, Arizona-area schools for two years. She is available for consulting to businesses, homes, and schools and as a guest speaker on how to lead a "green" lifestyle. She graduated with a M.F.A. in Poetry from the University of Arizona in 2008 and with a B.A. from Vanderbilt University in 2004. Jennifer's discussion will touch on being a poet and what it means for her to be an artist in the world, the struggles of working and making time for writing and more.

Shawn South-Aswad, Silo Studios artist and designer.
All art and furniture produced at Silo Studios are one-of-a-kind pieces and can never be replicated. The art is either created on canvas or recycled wood boards and painted with acrylics. All furniture pieces are constructed of architectural salvage. She does our best to recycle as much as possible, looking hard in the strangest of places for anything worthy of a second chance! At Silo Studios its all about bringing a bit of whimsy into the lives and homes of those who dare to break out of the box.

Bring your lunch and join us. The Lunch Bunch is free and open to the public.
