5X7 at the Arthouse

This week is the annual 5x7 show at Arthouse/Jones Center.   Tickets for the Friday night sale are available, and get you a chance to grab something great for your collection at a bargain price -- each piece in the show is $100. Plus the evening is always lots of fun, great food and drink, and high energy.  My favorite show and opening every year!  All proceeds go to Arthouse to support their exhibitions and other programs.  Support the arts in Austin!

This year I have a new video piece, the first video to be included in the show. It's a single channel video, about 3 minutes long, with music and spoken word audio that I wrote and recorded. The video imagery was shot in Marfa.  

And a big thanks to Jonathan at Austin Outdoor Studio for generously donating his skills and making the welded steel frame for the LCD monitor. Whoever buys this one is getting a steal! Jonathan does amazing work, everything from outdoor planters to doors, gates, retaining walls, water features, and much, much more. If you can design it, he can make it!  And if you can dream it, he can design it, too!  

Info:  Arthouse 5x7 Splurge and Exhibition

When:  Friday May 15 7:30-10:30

2009 marks the 10th Anniversary of Five x Seven (also known as 5 x 7), Arthouse’s annual fundraiser, art splurge and exhibition, and this year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever. Five x Seven is an art sale and exhibition benefiting Arthouse exhibitions and educational programs. Hundreds of recognized contemporary artists with strong Texas ties create unique works of art on identical 5” x 7” boards. Each board is only $100. With hundreds of works to choose from, this is your chance to have first pick and build or add to your art collection. All pieces are displayed anonymously – only when you purchase a work of art will you discover who created it.

One of Austin’s most unique artistic events . . . you can't afford to miss it!
