Greetings AOTA members! We would like to invite you for refreshments and viewing of our new Art Gallery in Tabernash, TAB fine art, on Saturday September 10th from
3 to 5pm. If you would like to bring a drink or dish, that would be
great, but of course not required! The gallery is located in the Morgan
Merc Building next to the Tavern. For more info, see below. Also, we
will be open until 8, so latecomers are welcome! Looking forward to seeing everyone. About TAB f i n e a r t TAB fine art is a gallery run by Millar Kelley and Carolyn Bailey Cissell. TAB
(short for Tabernash and Brooklyn) is based in Tabernash Colorado, and
will also show at various locations in Brooklyn and Manhattan. On view now is TAB’s inaugural exhibition of paintings titled Portals and Poets,
which is Part I of the series: Brooklyn Transmigration. This series is
the brainchild of Millar, a Colorado native who has been a painter in
NYC for the past 14 years. Millar felt it would be valuable to offer a
venue for cultural and artistic exchange between Grand County and New
York. TAB fine art
will offer insightful and illuminating work for public view and sale,
both in the gallery, and on a much bigger scale through our large
database of artists and artworks. Carolyn and Millar are available to
provide experienced art consultation to individuals and businesses
interested in starting or adding to their collections. Tab
will also offer a variety of community programs, including an art
appreciation discussion group, visiting artist lectures and openings. Gallery hours for the autumn 2011 season will be Thurs-Fri-Sat 3pm to 8pm, sun 2-7pm, and by appointment (call 917. 309. 6631 or 970. 531. 8625) We look forward to see you! |

Opening night was a lot of fun! There was a good crowd and I think we may have surprised Fran, too.
The work looks great - it will be up until August 2nd. They have great lunches at Pole Creek - there's plenty of time to see the show.
Donna Lyons won the "People's Choice" award for her watercolor "La Santisima Trinidad", Nancy Goes came in second place
with her beautiful beaded piece, "Under the Sea" and Paul Lewis took
third with his photograph, "Fox Nap". We had an "Artist Choice" award this year with all the artists in the show voting on their favorite and Marie Johannes won with her oil painting "Arapahoe National WR". Deb Treiber's husband, John won the $150 gift certificate to be used toward artwork from one of the artists in the show. Thanks to everyone who helped hang the show and to everyone who showed up - your support is much appreciated! Patty

Since July 5th is so close to our opening night on June 28th, we're going to have our next get-together on August 5th. We had such a nice time at Marjorie's gallery we're going to do it again in August. We'll meet from 6-8 pm. You're welcome to display some work. There
should be a lot of people in town since it's a Friday night and her
gallery is right on the boardwalk. Bring some munchies and wine if you
like. You can check out Marjorie's web site here. |

What is Torrit Grey? Robert Gamblin paint company is quite dedicated to user friendly products and environmentally friendly production. Their factory in Portland, Oregon is wind powered! Every year they clean out all the oil paint vats and mix all that paint together. It always ends up being an shade of grey......torrit grey! Every year Gamblin has a contest for painters using the torrit grey which they give away.... just go into Meininger's and ask for a tube! You can see the current wining paintings by clicking on the gallery link imbedded in the email I got from Gamblin (below).
Fun, huh? Marie
PS Gamblin's website is totally full of great information on color and paint....a great resource....a must see.
Dear Marie,
Spring is a bit late for many of us this year, but Torrit Grey is here.
Before getting too far, we wanted to first recognize our master-paintmakers here at Gamblin...
In rebellion against the dreariest Portland winter on record, Matt and team crafted the most interesting Torrit Grey batches in years.
They were also more creative than ever in reducing, reusing and recycling materials to support this year's batches. Torrit Grey is always complimentary and always unique. We hope you have as much fun working with the paint as we had making it for you.

We also wanted to thank all of the entrants to last year's Torrit Grey Painting Contest. What you do with Torrit Grey is amazing. At left is a winning painting from the 2010 contest, Sumner Vonn's Totem. You can also visit our online gallery of Torrit Grey paintings.
Through discussions with you in your studios, classrooms and out in the field, it's clear there isn't a group of people that cares more about the environment and those around them. We sincerely appreciate that, as part of your own efforts to live and work more sustainably, you choose Gamblin materials.
If you find yourself headed to Oregon, please consider reaching out to us. All our materials are handcrafted at our wind-powered factory in downtown Portland. We'd love to show you around.
Look for Torrit Grey during April and May at your favorite art supply store. This year's Torrit Grey painting contest closes October 1. Submission details will be posted on our website by May 1.
Sincerely, |
