1st-Ever Staff (and Alumni) Art Show at BlackBird Frame & Art


1st-Ever Staff (and Alumni) Art Show
at BlackBird Frame & Art

Show dates: September 20th – October 31st
Opening Reception on Friday, September 22nd, 6-8 pm

They’re not quitting their day jobs, but neither are the talented employees at BlackBird Frame & Art inclined to give up their “night jobs” as artists. From September 20 – October 31, the shop will host its first-ever Staff (and Alumni) Art Show.

It’s only natural that many artists become framers – and sometimes the other way around. BlackBird has always been blessed to have an artistically talented staff, so it’s high time to show that they can also think inside the frame.

Current staff members John Nelson (paintings), Natalie Hood (sculptural), Jesse Lee (metal/wood), R.A. Cooper (drawings & cut paper) and Georgia Harden (mixed media) will be featured, along with “The BlackBird Institute”, the work of an elusive spirit that haunts the century-old building on Merrimon Ave. Former employees and current RAD artists Phil DeAngelo and Angela Cunningham will contribute paintings to the show, as will Linda Azar (jewelry), Carrie Helmkamp (sculpture), Laura Klein Tompkins (paintings), and Anabel Winitsky (prints).

Considering the variety of work by this diverse crew, they have adopted the tongue-in-cheek theme, “Whither Banality: Daring to Defy Change” * in hopes that someone attending will offer a cohesive explanation of the show in more intellectual terms. Until then, it promises to be a stimulating presentation of excellent work, nicely framed, with something to offer all tastes and budgets.

Please join the framer/artists for conversation & refreshments on Friday, September 22, from 6 to 8 p.m at BlackBird. Who knows, you might even pick up a few tips on framing.

  285. Long distance small moves typically don’t fill the back of an entire truck. Regardless of how much you’re moving, large van line movers will price your move using a minimum weight threshold—typically 3,500 pounds in the summer and 2,500 pounds in the winter. That means you’ll pay for space you are not using.  U-Haul® is a registered trademark of U-Haul International, Inc. Budget® is a registered trademark of Budget Truck Rental, LLC.

    Great service by these guys, notified us before of their arrival, both Xavier and Renee were quick, friendly and efficient, they were done quickly with no hassles, will definitely use again in the future! Local movers typically charge by the hour, but for a cross-country move, you’ll likely be charged based on two key variables: weight and distance. If you’ve never hired movers to help you relocate, there are a lot of things you might be wondering. How much do movers cost per hour? How do they get paid? What kind of costs can crop up to surprise you? Take a deep breath. We’ll start by addressing step one: hourly moving rates, and what to expect. A professional mover can cost you a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, depending on the key factors of your move, like the distance, the number of labor hours and the size of your home. While the price of a long-distance move may give you sticker shock, it’s important to consider the savings in time and stress that come with professional assistance. There are ways to make your move cheaper, including purging items you no longer need in advance and moving during an off-season like winter.
