AN ART SHOW & BENEFIT FOR BIKES FOR THE WORLD!

“Biketastic” is an art show for all mediums inspired by bicycles!  This show will feature art that represents the many nuances of bike culture; from bikes for commuting, racing and pleasure rides to those who ride them for economic, and environmental reasons.   The Soundry’s proximity to the W&OD Trail gives us a lot of “bike traffic”, and we see first hand what an important role biking plays in many people’s lives.  We also noticed that bike enthusiasts like bike related art!

This show is open to all mediums and will bring with it many bike-centered events from organized “rides” to film screenings, and a fashion show.  The opening of the arts show will benefit Bikes for the World!

Opening celebration and benefit will be Saturday, July 31st, 2010 from 7pm to 11pm.  There will be a silent auction, vendors, raffle, bike fashion show, and drinks.

SILENT AUCTION SNEAK PEAK!

BABY CANVASES II: SHOW OPENING & ART ADOPTION!

SATURDAY JUNE 26th   7-11pm @ The Soundry

There aren’t many shows at The Soundry that we’ve considered doing twice.  Baby Canvases was such a huge success last year that we had to issue the challenge to artists again!

All artwork is a mighty 2 INCHES x 3 INCHES.   Artists had no other restrictions other than size for their mini masterpieces.  We have 600 pieces representing a wide variety of  mediums and styles. It truly is a show for everybody. These babies are “up for adoption” to loving homes and applications can be processed with a major credit card. Babies will go to their homes when the show closes. Adoption counselors will be on hand at the opening.

These itty bitties are an affordable means to collect art from your favorite artists at a mini price. They make great gifts and are terrific pieces for the office as well as all those nooks and crannies at home.

One Year Anniversary!! http://www.soundry.net/2010/03/the-chase-ii-virtual-tour-one-year-anniversary/ http://www.soundry.net/2010/03/the-chase-ii-virtual-tour-one-year-anniversary/#comments Thu, 04 Mar 2010 02:25:10 +0000 melissa http://www.soundry.net/?p=1311 On December 13th, 2008, The Soundry opened its doors, ready to dive headfirst into the currents of contemporary art and music.  With the financial crisis looming like a bully on the playground, the fearless founders stood their ground and bulldozed forward, making The Soundry’s first year one that has had a significant impact on everyone involved–from artists, bike trail enthusiasts, fledging bands, poets, painters, performers, and people from all walks of life–folks are falling in love with The Soundry every day.  Even the Washington Post loves us!

On December 12th, 2009 we celebrated our One Year Anniversary with the opening of our annual members-only art show, “The Chase II”.  Artists, dreamers, visionaries, “the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars”*, are all engaged in the chase for an idea, an ideal, a dream, an image, a perfect moment.  That’s what we celebrate at The Soundry, where we are all restlessly and relentlessly engaged in The Chase.

Happy Anniversary to The Soundry! One Year!!It was incredible to see the progress of some of our founding members who participated in “The Chase” for the second time.  It was also so exciting to see work by artists who have joined The Soundry family in the last year.  Here is the work that is presented in the show, as it appears as you walk through the space.  Congratulations to all the artist who participated!

Melding medium and message into a psychological substrate throughout which all meaning simultaneously flows, uninhibited. In this vacuum of time and space, devoid of the friction consciousness brings, awareness of one’s own awareness begins to take hold.

What will follow? Imagination, freedom. potential fulfillment, or life inside a crystal cage?

If you like this BS, you will love the impact of the 8×10 ft paintings by artists Jeff Duka, Matt Somma and Brian Legan as well as their smaller masterpieces.  After months of painting together in The Soundry studio, they put together this show.

Bring your wallets, fools. The preterreal experience is going home with you.
