The Big Stitch - April 18, 2009
"The Big Stitch" is for knitting and crochet crafters. It is an event to help support The Meharry Project. This is a charitable organization whose goal is to provide a new handmade blanket and hat to each of the approximately 2500 babies born at the Nashville General Hospital each year.
We will gather at FiftyForward Knowles - 174 Rains Avenue - Nashville. This is located near the TN State Fairgrounds. The event is April 18th, 9:00 am - 3:00 pm. Bring a sack lunch. You will meet other knitting and crochet folks, exchange information, patterns, ideas, etc. Instructions and patterns are also available at minimal costs.
Last meeting saw at least 100 blanket sets turned in, this one we hope to gather even more. They do ask that these blankets are kept smoke free.
Reservations recommended. Anyone who would like more information should contact Deborah Stillwell at info@knitandcrochettn.com or by calling 615-579-1875.
Studio space available from AdornmentsOnline - Factory at Franklin
My name is Laura Lempke; I am a member of Adornments and we are looking for local artists in need of studio/retail space in which to work and sell their creations. We have a small gallery in the Factory at Franklin and we are hoping to expand our current gallery into a larger communal retail space with several various sized booths out of which artists can work. We would handle any sales for you (at no cost) whether you are present or not (we'd be there during business hours) and you would have 24 hour access to the space for work. We are looking specifically for artists who are capable and willing to work in their space several days a week so that the community can come and see artists at work. Booth sizes range from 10x10 or 8x12 down to 8x8 or smaller (you can also have larger if you so choose) with prices ranging from around $400 to $600 a month based on size of space desired. You may also consider getting a small group together to split the cost of the booth rental.
In exchange for that rent we would provide studio space with 24 hour access to you, use of our credit card machine and packaging materials for sales(free to you), advertising in various publications and advertising on our website (http://Adornments-Online.net).
Please let me know if you are interested or if you know of other local artists who may be interested in this opportunity. You can reach me at AdornmentsOnline@gmail.com
Thanks,
Laura Lempke

Call to Artists: LAL Project Space - KY
Call to Artists: LAL Project Space
LAL invites artists to apply for an exhibition in the Project Space for its 2009-2010 calendar year. The mission of the Project Space is to exhibit installation and new media work that is engaging, challenging, and experimental in both concept and execution. The Project Space, located in the basement of the historic Loudoun House, is 29’ x 20’ with concrete and brick walls that are painted white, and a concrete floor that is painted gray. There is one doorway (45” x 81”). The ceiling has exposed pipes and ductwork; the ductwork is 74” from the floor, the fluorescent lights are 84” from the floor. The basement also houses artist studios and storage spaces. Exhibitions will run for approximately six weeks, beginning in July 2009. The artist will be entirely responsible for the installation and removal of their artwork, as well as solely bearing the financial responsibility of any and all supplies and travel expenses, although LAL will provide a small honorarium. We encourage KY artists and those from surrounding states to apply.
To apply for the Project Space, please send a cover letter addressing the content of your work and the installation that you propose for the space, up to 10 digital images of artwork along with an inventory list of the images, and a resume listing other gallery exhibitions (if applicable). If the work that you would like to exhibit in the Project Space is currently unrealized, include a detailed, written proposal, with drawings or other images if possible. Application materials are due by April 11, 2009 and will not be returned. Notifications will be mailed by June 2009.

Donelson Station: Art That Speaks April 24, 2009. Deadline: April 17
Donelson Station will be hosting a new exhibit Art That Speaks. Pieces
must be in by Friday April 17. There will be a special reception for all
artist, Friday, April 24, 5 p.m. Wine and appetizers will be provided.
The exhibit will display contemporary mediums where artist have brought
a voice to that particular piece. People say that art speaks to them in
ways words cannot. When words fall short, a work of art can tell a
story, express a feeling, recreate a memory and serve as a vehicle of
expression. Art allows for validation of emotions and a way to
communicate with each other. This exhibit will display local artist from
the Nashville area. If you would like to participate in this exhibit or
future exhibits call 883-8375 or bring your pieces in during operating
hours, Monday-Thursday 8am-7pm, Friday 8am-3pm, and Saturday 8am-12noon.
The exhibit will be displayed in the halls during our production of The
Producers, which bring over 1,000 people to our center! The exhibit
dates are April 24th-May 31st. You can pick up your pieces the following
week.
Please bring your pieces (if they are pictures/paintings, we ask that
they be framed/mounted, ready to hang) to the center and deliver them to
the director Jane Schnelle or program director Mel Shicks. Artist can
enter more than one piece in the exhibit.
Be sure to have on the back of each piece: Your name, (name of your
studio or business name, if you have one), your phone number, the name
or title of the piece, the work or artist that inspired this piece, and
the price you want or put "not for sale." Also a short bio is
appreciated (if you would like to hang our bio next to your piece,
please bring it framed and ready to hang).
If you do wish to sell your piece, 75% of the total sale goes to the
owner, the other 25% will benefit the FiftyForward and Senior Center for
the Arts. Remember, this is a great opportunity to become more known as
an artist, as the plays have sellout crowds every week!
Art pieces will be hung by Jane Schnelle, Mel Shicks, and Roberta
Steinmetz. Each piece will be given an identification plaque with
information about it. There is no limit on the number of submissions as
long as there is space in the hallways (first come first serve policy).
Thank you for your consideration, and we hope that you will participate
in this exhibit!
