Lansdale Fun A Day SHow 2012

Hello everyone,
The Lansdale Fun A Day Group show will be next Friday, Friday February 3rd 2012, 8pm at Lansdale's 3rd and Walnut. We will have musical performances from the talented Brian Medlin.

 There will also be an artsy performance from the Art Clash group Sam and Corey

There may be other musicians playing as well but I'm still in the planning of last minute details.

For all artists involved: drop off of art work will be on Wednesday February 1st at the Third and Walnut beginning at 5pm through 9pm. Don't feel pressured to have 31 pieces of artwork, bring what you have completed and feel proud that you have accomplished so much. There will be display racks and tables available. If you are using a table, you may want to bring a table cloth since none will be provided. The artwork does not need to be framed but do consider how you will hang it. The owner does not want anything attached to his walls, the racks will have hooks and clips to use. There will be zero commission taken on any artwork sold. I will accept contributions towards the rental of the racks if anyone would like to help off set that cost. Hopefully this month of art has set your art machine into motion for the year.
Please e-mail me lansdalefunaday@gmail.com or message me on Face Book if you have any questions.
Thanks
Amy Rims

Local North Wales artist, Holly Wilson, was an art major in high school and attended MCCC for 1 semester.

She is a multi medium artist using recycled materials for her paintings and projects.

Acrylic painting by Holly Wilson

 Growing up, Holly would draw and color all the time. In elementary school, she became hooked on abstract painting and sculpture. She was lucky to have a grandfather who would bring home the reject paper from the New Hope Paper mill, in which he worked. She was never without  paper!  If only he had worked at the Kodak factory and could have brought home film, she would have pursued her interest in photography. Now that we are digital Holly is set, she tries to have her  camera with her all the time. Art and photography are her passion!

Featured Artist Ben Robinson

 Ben Robinson studied Fine arts at Montgomery County Community College, and is currently pursuing his BFA at UARTS while residing in Philadelphia.

He is heavily influenced by graffiti, surrealism and skateboarding. The three have molded the way he views life and creates art. Ben likes to work with a lot of color and detail in his artwork to create a fun bizarre image for the viewer. It is his intent through making art, to keep art fun and create things that have something new for the viewer each time they come back to a piece.

Ben has always liked getting completely lost and sucked into artwork, so he tries to carry that idea into his own artwork.

  He likes to work with oils and ink in his pieces but he makes sure not to limit himself to the two. It is Ben's belief that, art's all about expanding and growing so being open to outside influences is very important to him. When he's not painting or drawing he enjoys  skateboarding in and outside of the city and hanging out with good friends and strangers.

Look for him at Lansdale's Fun A Day Show, Friday February 3rd at Lansdale's 3rd and Walnut Bar. Click on any of the images above to see more of Ben's artwork or to his purchase artwork. Please take the time to like his Facebook page.
