How Much Can We Control? is an MFA exhibition for regional artists encompassing Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska and Texas. In this exhibition we ask the question: How much can we Control? in order to dialogue about the presence, or lack of control in every aspect of art and life. Control can be internal or external, a force that feels personal or distant, and it can make an individual experience freedom or oppression. Control permeates decisions that are made at multiple levels – what aspects are critical and pervasive? What role does control play in the inception of art? And how do graduate artists juggle the positive and negative forces that characterize the contemporary art world?

Opportunity | Art Uprising Art Festival in Dallas

@ CVAD | Sep 13, 2012 - Nov 30, 2012 | Submitted by ADMIN

The Art Uprise Art Festival is a grass root movement where local artists rise up to take over the street of uptown.  Local artists and bands will entertain, interact, sell, and educate the masses.  As a festival it is our goal to help art connoisseurs of all levels connect to the process of creativity and talent of execution.  To this end we encourage all artists to not only sell art but to create pieces during the event.  When someone sees art being created they gain new appreciation and insight to the nuances and beauty of it.
 
This 3 day festival begins on Friday, September 21st with an art walk and silent auction. Saturday continues with more art and music, as 20 local bands set the acoustic backdrop for the festival. Sunday is Family day, as street performers, stage performances and artists engage with people of all ages.
 
It is important to note that Art Uprising is a festival and not a fair.  This is a cohesive branded event that targets residents throughout Uptown, Highland Park and Park Cities.  As a conservative estimate we plan on 600 people an hour to attend the event, bringing an excellent opportunity to showcase your art in an active and engaging environment.  Art Uprising is happy to support local nonprofit EASL (Emergency Artist Support League) through merchant donations, a silent auction, and the generosity of attendees.
Please show your support by attending the event and telling as many people as possible.  If you are interested in being considered for a tent space please fill out the attached application and email it to Rachel at the West Village (address on the application).  If you have any questions, suggestions, or interest in helping please contact John Tracy at Indigo.  Email:  indigodallas@gmail.com or text/call: 208-390-5889

Kayli was a piano teacher and children’s arts curriculum writer who had recently relocated to Dallas to raise a family with her husband, artist Matthew Cusick. The community response to the Better Block studio was positively overwhelming.

Encouraged and assisted by our friends and neighbors, we decided to make our temporary outpost permanent.

Our motivating philosophy is to make do with what you have. We place a high value on the resourcefulness within ourselves and are dedicated to doing things the old-fashioned way. Whether it is through the reuse or repurposing of materials, like turning fallen walnuts into archival ink, or by accepting the possibilities of what can be created by hand, we honor he pioneering spirit of our elders and the character of our community.

Oil and cotton are natural resources of Dallas, Texas. We believe the arts, like most natural resources, are essential for our survival and quality of life, and we are proud to be a part of our local arts community.
