HATCH, Kirkland Art Show update: We are opening our doors to students at Winthrop, because they do not have an arts show and want to participate in Arts First...so competition for space is something to think about if you are planning to submit work to Hatch in April. Please e-mail us if you have an idea of what you want to put in the show so we can secure your place! Let's make sure we have more Kirkland art than Winthrop art in our own show!

JTK the artist?

J.T. Kirkland

Not Yet Titled, Padauk and Walnut, Polyacrylic on Birch, 2010

Its officially JTK art day! Why? Two reasons. First, I found an artist named J.T. Kirkland, so he is the artist of the day. And second, Kat will be in the dining hall tonight to lead a portraiture workshop. She will give you tips on how to map out the face and sketch a portrait of JTK, like the painting by Gilbert Stuart. Please stop by around 8pm tonight for the portrait session! Beginners welcome!

Puerto Rican artists made this awesome proposal: 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow', Pablo Leon de la Barra’s proposal for CIRCA LABS proposes a laboratory to explore possible cultural scenarios in Puerto Rico, it functions as a kind of Village Fair/Market/Open Museum, where invited galleries, some of the most interesting young contemporary galleries from the American continent, take over containers which become ‘rooms’ of an open air museum which doesn’t exist in Puerto Rico yet. In the space between the containers, a social space is created where different local artists and organizations will create an oasis-activation zone. There will also be a bulletin board for cultural proposals for Puerto Rico, a reading area, a hanging painting exhibition and an outdoor cinema. With this, within the art fair CIRCA LABS provides an opportunity to envision future possibilities for cultural life in Puerto Rico and creates a different scenario for market and culture to coexist. click here for photos
