The ClayFest is a public event involving demonstrations and workshops for those interested in making ceramics, admiring completed works, or just interested in watching the fascinating process.
Gumbo ClayFest will feature several nationally-recognized ceramists who will demonstrate the different techniques for which they are known.
The Alternative Show is specifically directed to the novice, outsider, and beginning artists along with the myriad of creatives, young and old, skilled, and not so much, who grace our walls with art. Not only is it a positive experience for everyone, but it’s also a chance to exhibit in a collective of works by people who share the love of art in all its joys and aberrations. As an exhibitor, here or anywhere, you have joined an amazing community of like-minded people who are erratically different.
“My biggest hope for each work I do is to have it pull on the hearts of the person looking at it; to evoke their emotions in the deepest ways and have them see the beauty in things they never knew was there. To feel the love that I put into each piece.”
The Art Studio Inc. brings on another fresh lineup of LIVE ORIGINAL MUSIC on the last Saturday of each month! Come dressed in your boots and cowboy hats – the theme for the March show is HOEDOWN!
*The theme does not necessarily reflect the genres of music that will be featured, see lineup!*
We are looking for artists and makers in the SETX region to participate in a new event called “Look What I Can Do”! It will be a live interactive art demonstration festival where participating artists will interact and demonstrate their process to the public. This is a free event for artists to market themselves to the community and have a chance interact with other artists as well. We are looking for artists of all mediums and styles. This opportunity is available to any artists, artisans, craftspeople, or local organizations!
“We will continue to push, prod, inspire, and cajole you to find what your hands heart and mind want to express. These events and events at all the arts organizations in our community have something for you.”
The Art Studio Inc. brings on another fresh lineup of LIVE ORIGINAL MUSIC on the last Saturday of each month! We will be setting up our complimentary TOAST BAR for everyone to enjoy, while supplies last!
“I want you to know what an amazing art and craft ceramics is and the alchemy that takes place in that little brick box. Inside that incredible box an entire other world exists, but only in the fiery heat, the crucible of our work and our hearts desires.
This is what I want for you! Nurture your art and never deny your passion. Embrace it. We change the world through our art.”
