Art Out Loud
The Art Monkeys wish you a fabulous 4th and invite you to join them at ART OUT LOUD this Saturday at the Workhouse Arts Center!
Duets
Artists John Gascot and MG Stout (The Art Monkeys) unveil an array of original collaborations at the DC Center. Many of the paintings in this exhibit will be inspired by or named after songs. Pieces will vary in style and execution from abstract and decorative to narrative and introspective. The Art Monkeys' artistic mission is to make art accessible to all and to explore its potential for social change.
"Duets" will run July 14- Sept 8, 2012. The exhibit is free and open to the public during DC Center business hours: Mon-Fri 12-6 pm and Saturdays 11-3 pm.
An artist talk/Q&A and reception will be held on Saturday, July 21, from 6-9pm. Wine, refreshments & light fare will be served. See the Facebook event here. Qradio will be on hand to cover and broadcast the event. We hope to see you there!

No More Drama
These are good times.
And bad times.
And complicated and confusing times.
Today, in the midst of creating new collaborative works for our upcoming Duets exhibition in DC, we received final details on what works would be required of us for an exciting Workhouse Arts Center show, Commerce I, which opens on June 30th.
We could have easily picked work from our already existing collaborations, but the request came on the same day that this article about the Workhouse's financial troubles was published in the Washington Post. The reported issues are very real and last week the center announced that the Performing Arts Program would be disbanded.
This has touched us on a personal level. The Studio 3 Theatre is not only our next door neighbor, its team are also our friends.
In true "Art Monkey" fashion, we decided to paint something on on the spot. We immediately began snapping photos of Studio 3 from our front gallery windows and went next door for additional reference shots. The painting, tongue-in-cheek-ly titled No More Drama (get it??) is still in progress. It will be a deconstructed/abstracted Workhouse portrait that not only documents this phase of the art center's history/development but also honors our dear friends, whom we'll miss terribly.

Flamingo Painting...continued.
Fair warning: this is a long one. LOL
If John seems out of it please blame the toothache that was kicking his ass.
He took the day off today to visit the dentist. She prescribed some antibiotics and pain killers.
A root canal is in his near future...yay.
In spite of his toothache, The Art Monkeys managed to complete their flamingo painting and they're thrilled with it. You can't really see the glitter in it in this picture. They have special plans for how it will be displayed at Artomatic, but will save that for another post. ;-)
