Hmm…

Yes, I thought Process Organic @ Opaq was quite cool, a pretty good use of color and space.

I got to ArtWalk late, so I missed checking out BoxCity, but would have loved to see it live rather than in pics. If it is there for the next ArtWalk, I’ll be sure to check it out…

Adam - thanks for the reminder - I owe Matt some money and he owes me a piece.

I’ve heard nothing but good things about the Opaq show.

i agree on the opaq awesomeness. tina and lance really went for it with cmyk walls and live plants. it was a fun space to be in for the night. i’m excited it will be up again for next artwalk in case anyone missed it this time around. it’s def worth the trip.

I know they had to scramble to get the project from City Hall to the library in time for art walk which might explain the lack of signage. I think it will be there for the next art walk as well.

I will pass on the comments so that info can be out there. It is a fantastic project and the students, teachers, and volunteers should be proud.

Thanks for the info Sarah. What an awesome project. It would have been great to see the photos of all the students creating it, but on its own with little to no info, it was still very exciting to see.

Box city was a project that every student at Pine Forest School of The Arts participated in over the course of a few months. It was in commemoration of 150 years of the AIA, that brought in local architects to help. Letitia Hubbard, the visual arts teacher at PineForest, worked with several local architects to create architectual based art projects that the kids could participate in. Each classroom was given a square grid to work with and to design their part of the city on. When “Box City” was completed the students voted on a name for the city, Boxenville, and even elected a mayor! The architects came into the classsrooms during the course of the project to assist but I feel that the brilliance of Boxenville is the obvious creativity of the kids, and the hard work of amazing teachers. The original display in City Hall had all the background information, as well as photos of students working on the city. It dissapopints me that they didn’t have all of that same information up for Art walk.

J. Johnson, tonight (Nov. 9th, Friday) will be amazing. I cannot wait to see Tonya Lee’s new work … she is such a talent and SO humble to boot.
