This Friday's Art Walk in Medford

This is the flyer for this Third Friday's Art Walk in downtown Medford.  We're trying to build interest by highlighting special events each month.

This is February's map.  I'm making a list of changes that I want to make by next month, but for a first run I'm happy with it.  If you are a downtown merchant and have something to add, please contact me.  The goal for this gallery map is to include any retailers who stay open for the Art Walk and specifically highlight anything that reflects the art in our area.

Third Friday Art Walk Map

Today was an interesting day.  I've been working on a map for the downtown Medford galleries for the Third Friday Art Walk.  I was at Art du Jour today for my co-op one-day-per-month workday and was able to get outside for a bit, so I took the opportunity to visit the local businesses shown on my map.  The goal was to find out which businesses stay open for the Art Walk, which is 5-8 pm on the third friday of each month.  I met some great people, but also walked into a few hornet's nests.  The good thing is....I hate politics, even small town politics, so was able to plead "new girl in town" innocence....which in fact I am.  I have managed thus far to avoid getting involved.  Anyway, I hope the map helps get people to the downtown area.  I think i will pass them out around the area, try to build some interest.

Tonights Medford Art Walk

I love it when I pull out the paper and my name is in it.  :)  Doesn't happen often.  Anyway, tonight is Medford's friday art walk and my work is in three places downtown.  Art du Jour, Organic Natural Cafe and the Rogue Gallery.  I won't be there sadly, because there is no one to stay with Grams tonight, but I hope a lot of people stop in at the galleries to check out all the art and Organic for dinner!  The art work show in this article is by my close friend Boni Kettering.  So different than my style, but so beautiful.  I really respect artists who can do realistic plein aire paintings so beautifully.  I think if you paint what you love, it turns out.
