Thinking Big! with Bob Siegelman

Spring is in the air and we are all looking for a new hobby. My husband actually made his second ever meal for me tonight and we have been married for five years! So maybe cooking is not your thing. Your looking for something BIGGER.... why not check out a two-day intensive Monotype workshop and get your art on! Not only can you pick up a new hobby, you can get away for the weekend to Vermont.

Monotypes are one-of-a-kind prints that lend themselves to working quickly, working in a series and working in large format. Monotypes are a great experimental art. A great way to make finished works or just get that artist block thats been cramping your style, over with. Work in formats 22 x 30 or even larger. This could be your BIG weekend.

Join Bob Siegelman for this two day workshop, Saturday and Sunday, March 12 & 13 from 10am-4pm. $195 plus $20 material fee. To register call 802. 295. 5901

Tallboy Presents: Jodie Baehre at Lord Hobos

Fort Point artist, Jodie Baehre is showing her latest urban landscapes at Lord Hobos Bar in Cambridge. The work will be on view until April 1. 2011, courtesy of Lord Hobos and artist promoter TallBoy. Stop by, enjoy some grub and grab a pint.

About the Artist: Jodie Baehre grew up in Buffalo, NY and now lives and works in Fort Point Boston with her Husband, Paul and dog, Allston. Jodie's paintings stem from her graphic background in Industrial Design and Printmaking. Her work is inspired by photographs she takes around the Boston and New York metro areas. The photos are often a glimpse at billboards, old signage, buildings and unique angles of the city. She then works in acrylic to interpret her own twist. Her favorite artist is Jill Magid because of her highly conceptual ideas and work

Jodie also is the Co-Founder of an artist organization called Glovebox that supports local artists through exhibitions and events in which artist(s) are teamed up with organizations or businesses to exhibit work. Gloevbox's latest endeavor can be seen at Fort Point's own Twelve Chairs on A street. The show is called Chairs at Twelve Chairs with artwork by Kate Castelli. Glovebox is also excited about their first short film and animation festival that will take place at the Somerville Theatre this June 11. 2011.

Sometimes during this process a special interest is taken, a special bond is formed, and a teacher becomes a mentor.

Ivan Fernandez-Gonzalez, Heidi Kayser, Lisa Knox, Cat Mazza, Mary McCarthy, Amy MacDonald, Jose Santos, Karen Stein, Christine Vaillancourt, Jennifer Wood, and selected students
