AAI Plein Air Festival & 3-D Show

http://towncrierbreakingnews.blogspot.com/2010/06/aais-plein-air-fest-and-3-d-show-june.html


The weekend of June 12-13 promises to be one of the liveliest of the year in the art town of Idyllwild as the Art Alliance of Idyllwild rolls two of its most popular events into one fun-filled weekend. The annual Plein Air Festival and the annual 3-Dimensional Art Show and Gallery Tour are sure to thrill visitors and locals alike.Plein Air is French for “Open Air” and, on Saturday, AAI artists will be scattered throughout the forest, capturing lovely and picturesque outdoor scenes on canvas. Enjoy appetizers and drinks as you stroll from gallery to gallery, watching the artists at work. The idea of Plein Air is to capture, with paint and canvas, a single moment in time. The result is a colorful “snapshot,” which will serve as a keepsake that will evoke fond memories for years to come.

The three-dimensional show presents art in 360°. AAI member galleries will open their doors to feature fine, original 3-D works that include ceramics, wood, clay, fiber, glass art, carved porcelain pottery, jewelry, furniture and mixed media. It all happens Saturday, June 12, from 12pm-5pm. Stop by any AAI member gallery to pick up your route map.

The culmination of both events takes place Sunday morning with a champagne reception, from 10am-noon, hosted by the Quiet Creek Inn (26345 Delano Drive). Come see the finished Plein Air creations and cast your choice for the Community Favorite Award. A juror will choose the First, Second and Third Place awards as well as Honorable Mentions.

Art 360 by the Art Allaince of Idyllwild

Art in 360° by the Art Alliance of Idyllwild

IDYLLWILD, CA, 7/6/09 – Three-dimensional art uses space as an element, calling upon more of our senses to observe or interact. On Saturday, July 11, some of the most interesting, original presentations of 3-dimensional art can be seen at the Art Alliance of Idyllwild’s Annual 3-D Art Festival & Gallery Tour.

The San Jacinto Mountains provide a scenic backdrop for the tour, which meanders through the mile-high town of Idyllwild. Featured art will include clay, glass, fiber, furniture, jewelry, and mixed media. Maps of the gallery route are available at each of the Art Alliance’s 11 participating member galleries or on the AAI website (www.artinidyllwild.com).

The event, which takes place from noon until 5pm, is part of the Art Alliance’s “Second Saturdays” series. Each month, from March through October, the AAI presents a noteworthy art event on the second Saturday of the month. This year’s 3-D Art Festival & Gallery Tour is sponsored by the Rainbow Inn.

At Four Corners Fine Art Gallery, located at 54967 Pine Crest Drive, artist Trudy Adler presents one of a kind handcrafted jewelry in copper and silver. The texture and flame colored wide copper cuffs, earrings and pendants have a unique look of antiquity. The earrings are dangled with semi-precious stones. Texture is also present in the pendants created with molten sterling silver poured into the carved design of the cuttlefish bone.

Stop by Flying Pigment Studio Gallery, at 54235 N. Circle Dr., to enjoy the work of 3-D artists Marcia Cox, Dore Capitani and Kathleen Chaney.

Cox’s artwork holds the essence of Idyllwild, of raku' with romantic images and embellished natural finds within nature.

Capitani's work features strong metal designs, which illustrate his vision and complete mastery of the element.

Chaney, a resident artist creating her collectable one-of-a-kind hand painted rocks, is known as the "Rock Lady of Idyllwild."

Artist Darcy Gerdes also will be showing a painted bison skull, " Cosmic Ocean" her first in a 3-D showing.

Courtyard Gallery, located at 26120 Ridgeview Drive, is excited to present the watercolor and collage works of internationally acclaimed artist PAT WOOLLEY. Woolley, who spends part of the year in the south of France, is inspired by the architecture ,colors and flowers of that region. Her newest work brings the flavor of France to Idyllwild. Woolley is the gallery’s guest artist for July and August. Courtyard Gallery also continues to showcase the 3-D work of local artist and instructor Terry Rothrock and will unveil new work by the Courtyard Group of Seven: Carol Mills' ever evolving abstract expressionist canvasses, Debbie Crowell's new and exciting pottery, Trish Tuley's amazing nature photographs, Robin Mills' fusion glass pieces, Chin-Lee Chang's stunning platters and vessels, Helen Atik's mysterious monoprints and paintings, and Judith Lepuschitz's new copper plate on canvas series. The gallery also honors the memory of beloved late member Claire Hughes, who’s exquisite pottery is displayed in the Gallery.

Artisans Gallery, located in Oakwood Village on North Circle Drive, is all about wooden lamps for the 3-D Art Event. Stop by to see how various local artists add their unique touches to manzanita to create original and varied styles of lamps. The gallery also features lamp shades, made of pine, that are turned so thinly that they are translucent.

Dore’s Mountain Metals, on Hwy. 243 in Mountain Center, proudly features the works of sculptor Bill Anson. Anson’s metal and ceramic sculptures can be found in homes and businesses through the desert area.

Art Alliance of Idyllwild Showcases Art in 3-D

IDYLLWILD, CA, 5/27/08 – Three-dimensional art offers a refreshing and lively use of space. Unlike drawing, painting or even photography, 3-D art is tangible. There’s a front to it and a back. You can touch it and enjoy the feel of its nuances and textures. Galleries in the mountain town of Idyllwild are preparing to display some exquisite examples of 3-D art at the Art Alliance of Idyllwild’s 3-D Art Festival and Gallery Tour.

The tour, which takes place Saturday, June 7, from 1-4 PM, is part of the Art Alliance’s “First Saturdays” series, which presents a noteworthy art event on the first Saturday of each month from March through October. AAI member galleries will open their doors with refreshments for guests to enjoy while they browse some of the most interesting collections of 3-D art. Pick up a map at the nearest AAI gallery to find your way. Enjoy a leisurely walk through the beautiful mountain village or hop on the complementary shuttle, which will carry you along the route.

Flying Pigment Studio proudly features several 3-D artists including Kathleen Chaney, Marica Cox Holzman, Dore Capitani and Jan Japers-Fayer.

Holzman began her fine art career after a long & successful phase as a commercial illustrator. She works in a variety of media, which includes oil, acrylic & watercolor painting, monotypes, ceramics & bronzed sculpture. Each reflects her love of nature.

"In my most recent work, I'm trying to convey the feelings I have about the natural wonders indigenous to Idyllwild,” said Holzman. “The San Jacinto mountain wilderness area represents to me all wilderness regions of our world that need to be respect & protected.”

Kathleen Chaney, an Idyllwild resident of 24 years, has been an artist most of her life. “I have had many endeavors and media’s and many shows, from map maker, brochures, drawing, paintings, soft sculpture, clay sculpture rock painter muralist jewelry, art teacher, cartoonist. You name it, I've experienced it.”

Dore Capitani lives life with the same energy that sizzles through his work. His sculptures, mainly constructed of various metals, blend sharp edges with fluid motion. Capitani's work has been shown in the prestigious Chicago Merchandise Mart and in numerous galleries in the Chicago area. His work can be seen in many galleries in Idyllwild, Niemi Sculpure Gallery in Wisconsin, and at his workshop/sculpture-garden in Mountain Center.

The Courtyard Gallery is also featuring work of Capitani as well as that of pottery artists Debbie Crowell and Claire Hughes. Crowell, who is also an outstanding photographer, is known for her intriguing pottery which reflects a sacred perspective of universal harmony with nature. Hughes, who died earlier this year, was a cherished member of the Courtyard Gallery for decades. The gallery continues to honor her memory by displaying some of her extraordinary creations known for their perfection of shape and colors that stayed true to her deep love of the earth.

Robin Mills, daughter of our Gallery owner Carol, will have some lovely fused glass items on display. Enjoy her unique glass jewelry or select one of her very intriguing plates for your home. The reflection and interaction of light in her pieces is a sight to behold.

Courtyard also presents new photographs by Tish Tuley, and new paintings by Carol Mills and Helen Atic." In addition, Judith Lepuschitz will display a new series of abstract paintings, some of which incorporate Braille letters as readable and touchable elements that convey the essence of each painting.

Fashioning three-dimensional art is a way of life for Janet and Larry Everitt, of Everitt’s Minerals and Gallery. The gallery specializes in handmade jewelry and designs made with exotic mineral specimens and rare fossils. The Everitts learned the ropes of “rock hounding” in the mountains of North Georgia, where they would hunt for treasures and take them to an expert to be made into jewelry. Later, they studied the art of jewelry making and, now, display and sell their own beautiful creations.

The Idyllwild Gallery of Fine Art presents Cheryl McNeill, an emerging glass artist, who is wonderfully bold and creative. After spending much of her life in the rough and tumble world of professional politics, McNeill needed an outlet for her creative expression. One day, she decided to learn to work with glass, a beautiful and elegant medium that has always intrigued her. By the end of that day, what had started as a hobby became her new and exciting career. McNeill bid goodbye to the world of politics and transformed her modest garage into a studio. Rabbit Canyon Designs was born. McNeill brings a genuine passion and meticulous devotion to each piece of art she creates.

There’s a new gallery on the block. Owners Ron and Darla Singerton present a delightful artistic journey through this new venue, which features a wide range of diversity in both style and medium. The Singergon Gallery provides exceptional original award-winning bronze and stone sculptures, oil paintings, mixed media, and handcrafted jewelry designed exclusively by the Singertons.
