"An Artist's Eye on Knowlton Street"

New Prints by Julie Lonneman

Opening Reception at NVision

Friday, November 6th 2009, 6 - 10 PM

"I'’m well acquainted with the stretch of Knowlton Street between Hamilton and Crawford Avenues in Northside. I travel these four blocks almost every weekday on the way to my studio in the Off-the-Avenue building. Traveling by foot or bicycle gives me ample time to observe the interesting aspects of this street. In this short stretch one can find homes, factories, businesses, a neighborhood bar, two organic gardens, a bicycle co-op, an art studio, a storefront church and a former funeral home.

I wondered if I could communicate my fascination with this perhaps overlooked corner of the city through my art. This series of ten relief prints is my attempt. In creating these works I deepened my own appreciation."

Julie Lonneman

Ohio Printmaker's Co-op Meeting
Sunday, November 1, 2009 11:30 am
Massillon Museum
121 Lincoln Way East
Massillon, Ohio 44646

Massillon Museum has agreed to host the four Ohio Printmaking Coops that are part of the Collective Ink Exhibition for a meeting prior to the opening of the show. Dayton Printmakers Coop, Phoenix Rising, Tiger Lily Press and Zygote Press will gather to introduce themselves, exchange information and ideas about their studios and to generate relationships between the Ohio Printmakers. We will take photos to send to the Ohio Arts Council to encourage future support from them. There also may be the makings of an article for the MAPC or the SGC...we’ll see how that goes.

The Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe is inside the museum and will be available to provide lunch for us.
Sandwich/chips $4.50
Chicken Salad sandwich
Smoked Stack Turkey sandwich
Veggie Pita
BLT
Soup of the Day $3.00
Specialty Coffees, Sodas, Juices and Bottled water

When you arrive go to the Coffee Shoppe to order your lunch and pick up a drink. The café will prepare the food and then bring us our lunches while we meet.
They will need an approximate number of people so they are properly staffed. Please RSVP to me by Monday, October 26th with about how many people from your studios you expect to come. (Theresa Gates Kuhr gates299@zoomtown.com)
Those that do not wish to attend the meeting can meander around town until the Exhibition Opening at 2:00.

Please forward this on to members of your co-op that you feel would be interested. Come prepared with one person to introduce the studio, telling a bit about how it is run, fundraising, membership, events, etc.

Looking forward to the exchange!
