The Art Show is open. Tickets are $10 each or 7 for $40. My box is on the very bottom, right next to the floor. I’ll be curious to see how
many tickets make their way into that wee slot. Apparently, a good friend from
out of town called the Carmel Bach Festival Office, asked for 7 tickets to be
put into the box. I wonder if you can get tickets over the phone. I shouldn’t
think so, but maybe…..
The Opening reception was fun. Lots of people in a small
space. The artists are mostly sometime professionals and hobbyists. Quite a few
have been participating for many years. That means there wasn’t anyone dressed
to make a shocking statement which I appreciated. For this show, it’s not about
the ART, it’s about MUSIC and specifically raising money for the Carmel Bach
Festival. ‘nuff said…just fun!
My title for this post comes from the frequently heard
comment, “Isn’t that a lost art?” We’ve all heard that when tatting in public.
I’ve also heard something along the lines of, “My Aunt tried to teach me that.”
Even a wistful, “I wish I could tat.” Well, last night I heard, “I’m glad
tatting is not a lost art. I think your piece is ART!" That made me feel like I’m on the right track. I am not (no
raised voice, just humbleness) highly trained, not crafty, not a bored
housewife. I am an artist who represents music in thread. I am aware there are
some who have a hard time calling anything that isn’t a painting art. Their
loss! I choose to enjoy music, thread, and tatting!
Come by the show in the gallery off the raised patio. It’s
open most days. Tickets can be bought just before, during, or after Bach Fest
events at Sunset Center. Stuff that box! Win some art! Support the Festival!
Good for you for reminding festival goers that tatting is an art and not lost! Good luck, I hope there are plenty of tickets in the box.
ReplyDeleteTonight is opening night. I don't have tickets, I've reached my budget limit. (boohoo) I plan to attend a free lecture given on the works scheduled just before the concert. I may spy on the crowd as they move through the gallery before the lecture and concert. Just to see.......
