First Friday in Murphysboro's Logan Historic Arts Neighborhood

9/10/2019

0 Comments

 
Thanks to everyone who came out for Murphysboro’s (first of 2019) First Friday Art Walk / Open Studios & Museum night! In the new Oak Street Art headquarters (photo below), we had a steady stream of visitors all evening. We love our great southern Illinois community and are proud to be a part of the Logan Historic Arts Neighborhood.

Visitors came just to look, talk, make new friends, enjoy munchies, and even to buy some local art by our members (jewelry from Sue Gindlesparger, ceramics from Darby Ortolano, weaving/textiles from Shirley Krienert, leather from Cathy Schmidt, and photography from Ann R. Fischer).

See map below for additional sites of September's First Friday, including the individual studios of Oak Street Art members Luca Cruzat and Rachel Malcolm Ensor, as well as the General John A. Logan Museum, Pat's Prairie Garden, and GeekBetty Vintage and More. 


Onward to next month! Hope to see you for the second First Friday on Friday, October 4, from 5 to 8 p.m.

Two Oak Street Art Members' Works Selected for 2019 Cedarhurst Biennial

7/29/2019

Two Oak Street Art members have art work (images below) in the 28th Cedarhurst Biennial at the Cedarhurst Center for the Arts in Mt. Vernon, Illinois: Painter Rachel Malcolm Ensor and ceramic artist Darby Ortolano.

The juror for the Biennial, Wassan Al-Khudhairi, was the Chief Curator of the Contemporary Art Museum in St. Louis. The call area of submission for this competition was very wide: all of Illinois south of Interstate 80 (Chicago), as well as the metro areas around St. Louis, Evansville (Indiana), and Paducah (Kentucky). 

The exhibit runs from July 28 through October 6, 2019 in the New Semantics Gallery at Cedarhurst (click for details). View the complete set of selected works here.

Ortolano and Ensor are both graduates of the Kansas City Art Institute, and each have held college-level faculty positions in the area. Both have studios in the Murphysboro Historic Art Neighborhood, home to the General John A. Logan Museum.

Printmaker and Oak Street Art member Luca Cruzat invites you to visit her studio this Memorial Day between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m. Her open studio and nature-themed Wildlife exhibit are being hosted in conjunction with the General John A. Logan Museum sesquicentennial Memorial Day celebration in Murphysboro. 
If you haven't been to Luca's studio (and even if you have), you will be in for a treat! 
In her new location at the corner of Edith and 16th Streets in Murphysboro (see map below: formerly the Hughes Gallery, just down the street from the museum), Luca welcomes you to come see her art in person, especially some of her recent pieces highlighting nature. 
On the right side of the image below is one of Luca's collagraphs, Flowered Crown. Luca is internationally known for her intricate collagraphy and other work.
