The June 10 Art Walk - a report by Horst with help from Stu

The 2nd anniversary of the Brookings Art Walk had a good turnout, just as expected. The Walk is getting bigger, but the space on this website remains the same, thus we can only bring highlights here - in random order.

Library:
The mix of the art was unusual: the winners of the Azalea Festival, with all its diverse categories. There were so many works with ribbons that the show had to be extended into the small conference room. And .... the works in there had no labels! Horst's fault, guys. He fell down on the job again. Proof that he needs more help! Call him and offer to volunteer next month to fill that hole - and others.
A new pianist appeared on the scene: Tim Greathead of Gold Beach, whose watercolors we saw there just recently, turns out to be an exciting piano player, who, with his distinct style, complements the talent on hand. We hope to hear more of him in the coming months. Welcome aboard. The food table was the best in memory, thanks to the participating artists and Fred Meyer, and the hostess, Carol Salin, who coordinated the feast.

As usual the biggest crowd came at 6:03 when the Limericists recited their "poetry." The theme was "mermaids." Why mermaids? They were practicing for their performance at the 2nd annual Merry Time Art Fest at the Biscuit Gallery in Gold Beach, which has mermaids as the subject of a humorous art competition (in addition to a more serious juried maritime show). Mark the date: Saturday, July 1, from 7 to 10 P.M. at Gold Beach Books. It will be good: three hours of food, music, art and comedy.

Signature Gallery:
The new Signature Gallery was jumping. Joe Tonini showed his giclee prints next to the original works. In the special case of "2 guitars," a watercolor by Horst Wolf, the print on canvas was about twice the size of the original - huge- and looked even better. Great cooperation between the artist and the printer. And no glass, no mat, no reflections! Way to go.

Words and Pictures:
Pete Chasar and Audi Stanton talked about their art and fielded questions. "Artists Talk" has become an important part of our Art Walk.Sorry I missed the reading by John Graesch, but I had a date with guest horn player Garry Schauer at the library, that I didn't want to miss. This was the 2nd time Garry played his Fluegelhorn for us and the crowd loved his old jazz standards. I felt honored to accompany him - no practice nothing, just wing it, kid, and Garry did great! We'll do it again, Garry, won't we?

That's about all I was able to sample. The rest you've got to imagine from the photos. Maybe Bill Schlichting or Marge Woodfin will write more about it in the PILOT? They both were there and participated as Limericists.
Visit this site again around June 24 when the program for the July Art Walk will be posted.
Until then,
Horst
