Artist Spotlight: Andy Cunningham

22 01 2011


Andy Cunningham’s studio, at the end of Elvas Avenue, on 4094 C Street (look for the unique orange door), is without a doubt a hidden treasure. The homey studio is showered in natural light and possesses the characteristic open space so important for working artists.

As soon as I step into the gallery I am greeted by Andy’s geometric-biomorphic works. The structurally surreal forms, working through layers and transitioning in space are all unique, while also characteristic of Cunningham’s style. Read the rest of this entry »

Visit the 2nd Saturday list of galleries or (if you’re directionally impaired like I am) look at the map! Or just  go where your friend’s work is showing. Have fun and stay warm!

Naked Music? Yes please.

5 01 2011

Naked Lounge live music! What better way than to start the New Year? … Okay, so I’m late a few days. You don’t know any of the listed artists? That’s okay. Bring a laptop, a good book, or just a couple of friends and listen to something new. You just might like it!

There’s usually a $5 covercharge, but that’s how much you would have spent for a Starbucks triple mochachino, right?

Check out the Naked Lounge January Calendar.
