“This process has been around since The Salon shows of 19th century France. This went on until a group of Impressionists, a name used originally as an expression of disdain, crowded the halls of The Salon and were quickly rejected. Undaunted, the following year a tent went up and was called “The Salon des Refusés“ which became a big attraction and brought modern art and alternative ideas to The Salon.”

“The Art Studio is radically independent, progressive, and vibrant with a studio filled with young and energetic artists. As temperatures rise it will be critical to have at least one cool area in the studio where we could get relief. I am asking, if not begging, that some benevolent beings would find in their hearts a way to help us find relief for our artists, students, and patrons.”
The March show will be an EXTRA SPECIAL night because the show happens right as we are wrapping up our free daytime event “Look What I Can Do” in the galleries. Because of that special event happening from noon until 6pm, we have an extra stacked lineup in the evening and the show will start right at 7pm (instead of the usual 8pm showtime) so don’t be late!
Arrive ready to learn about many different artforms, feel free to ask questions to the demonstrating artists, and there may even be some handmade items to purchase directly from the makers. This event is family friendly and FREE to attend!
TASIMJAE (The Art Studio, Inc. Members Jurored Art Exhibition) is open to all current TASI members to enter up to two pieces of artwork. A single juror will select which pieces will be included in the exhibition, and choose a first, second, and third place winner, each of whom will receive a cash prize.
