On Feb 2nd I'm opening a new gallery - 'The Artery'. The Artery is not only a gallery space displaying originals and prints from local and international alternative artists, but it also performs double duty, offering workshops in Visual Arts, Writing Craft, and Song Writing.

It's an offshoot of and organization I founded with a few other 'artists, locally known as SCAR and sort of grew out of my fringe performance stuff and a real lack of contemporary art creative showcases and outlets in this community.

I may or may not be doing some sideshow stunts at the opening.
As much trouble as I have with LA, I have to say the art scene here is pretty cool and just in general there is a lotta shit going on in this city.
Good luck with the new gallery

J. Tithonus Pednaud No, but I know that guy. Er...not in the 'biblical' sense...he being an attention starved homo and all.

The 'human dartboard' requires no skill...just some balls...and some darts, of course.

Evil Robot Like having somebody throw darts into your back while you pretend the audience respects you for it but really you just look like an attention starved homo? Because I saw that guy open for GWAR once, are you that guy?

I'll add you to my MySpace top 8 - a lot of eclectic artists frequent my site. You should really take advantage of the networking available on MySpace. I use it a lot in successfully promoting the artists I represent.

Oh, and putting <Z> into those sections make them disappear...
Thanks very much! This the gallery I will be having the show at: hyaenagallery.com. Seriously thanks for the myspace add. I know that somehow myspace is really helpful for people trying to do promotions which is why I am trying to set up on there. I hate myspace a lot though, so I have been doing it grudgingly. And I'm still having trouble quite understanding how to use it. I finally fixed some crap on my page tonight though.

Btw you have an interesting site. Ever been to the Mutter Museum in Phladelphia? If not I highly recommend a visit.

Do you ever/plan to go to any art festivals? My mom did one in San Diego I believe but usually just around OK
I've thought about doing things like local fairs/meets where they sell stuff like punk crafts. I know there are some cool poster art festivals and stuff like that. Maybe sometime..

Other than "post lots and lots of pictures, because art shows are awesome," of course.
