"Meet the Artist" - First talk of 2009/2010 series
About 45 people turned up for the first "Meet The Artist" talk of the season on January 14th. Photographer and writer Vic Kirby gave a well-received presentation on how he came to be a photographer, his philosophies about picture taking, and perspectives on the impact of digital technology on photography.
Slides that formed the basis of his talk are available through the "Resources / Article and Talk Transcripts" menu item.
After the session, many moved across the road to visit the Grand Opening of Galeria Catalina, along with other shops in "Casa Blanca", where they enjoyed dessert, Jamaica or Coffee with Khalua and whipped cream, viewed the new art on display there, and listened to the music of Chris Paulson. At the end of the evening, several even celebrated the night by breaking into dance!

The next "Meet the Artist" Speaker Series talk, on Thursday, January 28 will be given by acclaimed mosaic artist Donna Billick. She will be talking about the "Heaven on Earth" Workshop and the mosaics that have been developed on her "Todos Artes" property. The talk will begin at 5:30pm and, unlike the others in the series, will be at her Todos Artes Compound located next to Georges Taco On Colegio Militar; the green building next to the old Post Office, so that she can demonstrate examples of work and some videos on past workshops. You can meet us there, or meet us at our base location, Cafelix, by 5:15 (and enjoy one of his coffees or a beer) and we will all walk the few blocks to her house. 
ARTS (Artists of Todos Santos) is excited to announce our 1st annual juried photography show at Cafelix starting Feb 4th. In order to make this more of a community event, we have decided to make this show open to everyone who lives here, or in BCS in general. All work will be juried by 2 experienced US judges who are coming to Todos Santos for this event. There are two categories – one being photos taken in, and representative of Baja California Sur, and the other being open to any photo. Prizes will be awarded for the best in show for both categories, together with awards for the winner and two runners up. All accepted work will be displayed in Visions gallery; however, only work submitted by people legal to sell their work in Mexico will be offered for sale. We are looking forward to a big response from the community. To help us plan for the event, first download the rules and entry form
