Legion Arts of Cedar Rapids, IA Needs You
Click here to support the Iowa Artists' Relief Fund.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is currently underwater. One of the institutions affected by this tragedy is Legion Arts, who was kind enough to agree to host the Art 365 show this coming Fall. Right now nobody knows exactly if or how that will happen, but that's not our most pressing concern.
Legion Arts has set up an emergency fund to help Iowa artists whose lives and work have been affected by the flooding. Please give if you can, especially you Oklahoma artists: Legion Arts is like our OVAC. We need the help of support systems like these to make our unique, talented, relevant voices heard.

Last Chance: Art 365 in Tulsa
Lawton Amarillo, acrylic, ink and collage on canvas, 2007.
This Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are the last days that the Art 365 show will be on display in Tulsa. My project, Normal, OK, is showing at Liggett Studios, 308 S Kenosha Ave. Betsy Barnum's introspective self-portraits and Live4This' candy-coated wonderment are also at Liggett. Better get there by June 14.
One venue was not enough to hold all of the Art 365 awesomeness. Ashley Griffith's large-scale photographic grids, Joe Daun's kinetic sculptures, and Liz Roth's exhaustive United States landscape survey are showing at Alexandre Hogue Gallery, University of Tulsa, 2930 E. 5th St., Tulsa (M-F 8:30-4:30) through June 27.
After this month, the Art 365 works will be put away until October, when they go on display in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Last Chance to see Idiolect @ AKA
Dum Dum, detail view, acrylic on paper, 2008.
This weekend is your last chance to see my current solo show, Idiolect, at AKA Gallery in the Paseo. This weekend is also the annual Prix De West Invitational Art Exhibition and Sale at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in OKC. Some of the Prix de West artists will have work on display at the Paseo this weekend, so it's a great time to do the Paseo walk.
In General: Now Showing for Paseo First Friday
