So lots going on this Saturday during ArtWalk that I thought I'd pass along. . .
1st - check out the still new art gallery, Local Color Galveston "Where Local Artists May Expose Themselves." Mondo and I visited the owners, Katy & Darren Cleveland a while back. Loved the new space and really enjoyed meeting these new IBCs and their children. Great addition to the art scene and the great people scene on the Island. You can find them at 120 20th Street in downtown Galveston (down from Somewhere in Time).
2nd - the Galveston Art Center (who are sponsors of ArtWalk) will be in their temporary new location on 25th St. in the old Maceo Spice storefront. Remember to go check them out too.
3rd - Did you know that a few weeks ago in the beginning of August, 18 teams of architects and designers from the Houston area got together at Rice University to look at Gtown's Seawall? Their task was a design competition around a site along the Seawall that is a "hingepoint" between downtown and the beach. Competitors had 8 hours to come up with a design idea that works for locals and tourists! The 18 designs are going to be on display for one night only during ArtWalk! Go check it out! Apparently many of the designers and judges will be there. It's from 6pm to 9pm (during ArtWalk) on this Saturday, August 22 at 2326 Strand (in the fantastic Sealy-Hutchings Building next to Luigi's) Check out the group who organized this awesome idea, Rice Design Alliance at www.ricedesignalliance.org
