Hoiness and Hughes Exhibition just around the Corner

Click for Show InformationThe planning starts months in advance and takes a huge effort for the artist to prepare, create, deliver and present their work.  As with the artist, the prep work for the gallery also starts months in advance, PR, press, social media, web updates, invites, mailings, newsletters, creating a buzz, framing, hanging and then it's show time.

It's a lot of work.  

But it's also the fun of it all.  Allowing people to enjoy the artwork whether purchased or not.  The exhibitions allow us to highlight the artists work in the best possible light and then watch it find new homes.

It's a lot of work.

And we wouldn't have it any other way.

Here's a quick pic of Judy Hoiness' wall from early September.  The two large red/orange originals ( "View from the Badlands Rock" ) are now sold and not available however the other work is up and ready to find new homes.  

Judy will present a complete new show of about 15 original paintings for the show.  Thomas Hughes has five new works as well and the show will be great!  Here's the show information.  We hope you can attend First Friday and meet both Judy and Thomas.  Save the date!

Come celebrate with us as we host “Impressions”, an exhibition by Oregon artist and painter, Judy Hoiness and Oregon artist and craftsman, Thomas Hughes. The exhibition runs from October 6 through November 1, at High Desert Gallery's downtown Bend, Oregon art gallery located at 10 NW Minnesota Avenue at The Oxford.

Last Day -- Sunday At the Sisters Folk Festival

You can find us today in Sisters Oregon for the last day of the Sisters Folk Festival.  We posted yesterday with links to the schedule etc ...

Yesterday we very much enjoyed the AM performance from Matt the Electrician and then an evening performance by  Willy Porter.

You can catch Willy today (Sunday) as well.

Starting at 10am is the Community Performance (It was called the "Gospel Show" in past years) and I'm sure that it will have a 9/11 overtones as it should.

Here's a quick shot of Matt on Saturday AM.  Great show.  Pick up a CD or two!

 

Cheer!
