Monthly Critique

The Green Bay Street Studio is having a critique night on Friday, January 22, 2010, 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. It will be inter-university and inter-disciplinary, and we hope that we can get people talking about art with new people, and in new ways, that they wouldn't have had the chance to before. We hope to get teachers and professors talking about their own art with students and working artists talking with budding artists. Critiques are the vitamin of the artist, and we're trying to expand the discourse of art in La Crosse and make us all better at what we do. All media and disciplines are welcome, so come for a laid back evening of discussion and learning, and feel free to bring a dish or beverage to share (in addition to art). This will be the first of our new monthly critique night.

GBSS at La Crosse Public School District Career Fest

GBSS Artists Erich and Matt were at Career Fest last week, representing the Artist profession. The duo stressed the importance of maintaining a sketchbook no matter what field of art you may want to get into. Each page is like two steps forward, and if you put in the paces now, you'll be miles ahead of everybody when it comes time to get the job. Students from Logan, Longfellow, Lincoln and Onalaska middle schools attended the event, and had plenty of thought-provoking questions. They discussed the various fields of art and types of jobs available, gallery representation, and what it's like being an artist. We've gotten some great feedback from the students, and it's great hearing from you! Keep in touch, and feel free to ask us questions at any time, either here on the blog or via email!
