Artists of Todos Santos finish their season with a bang on March 11th!

Visions Gallery, Cafelix Coffee & Kitchen and Artists of Tods Santos are delighted to announce a final opening party for this season.  Not just art, the opening will feature the lively country/folk/rock sounds of Los Hombres del Norte in a two-hour concert, live at Cafelix!  We'll also be opening our final show of the season with the members of ARTS showing new works and some older favorites.  There will be more of Gloria's wildly creative and imaginative found object shadow boxes and sculptures; photos from Vic and Barbara; more colors of Mexico from Diane; new drawings from Tori; more of those little gems from Roxanne and (gasp, no, it can't be...)acrylic paintings from Mike!  It all starts with refreshments at 5:30PM and music at 6PM on Thursday, March 11, 2010. It's a great way to finish the ARTS season.

Artist's gallery and Studio Tour PosterSunday, March 14th is the first annual “Artist Studio and Gallery Tour” organized by Artists of Todos Santos.  You will be able to visit the Studios of 24 Todos Santos artists, our local Museo Barrio and 11 Galleries.  The studios and galleries will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m..  The artists have working studios ranging from a tarp stretched over some poles or a shady spot under a tree all the way up to elaborate single-use designated buildings.  Some of these are combined with a gallery and some are separate. This unique tour will provide the participant with an intimate look into the working lives of our local artists.  At each studio the artist will be in residence and working to demonstrate his or her techniques.   It is easy to visit the studios/galleries on foot on the town side but you will need a car to visit the studios in el otro lado.  Parking is very limited at some of the locations.  Carpooling is highly recommended.  Please leave your pets at home as they will not be allowed on the tour.  Children are welcome (under 12 are free) and are the responsibility of the adult accompanying them.  Art pieces are fragile and some studios may contain dangerous equipment such as kilns and blowtorches. 

Beneficiaries of the tour are the children’s art programs at both the Palapa Society and Escuela Pacifica.  Tickets, maps and a description of each studio/gallery are available for a minimum donation of 100 pesos at Cafelix on Saturday, March 13th from noon to 3pm and on Sunday, March 14th from 9:30am to 1pm.  Tour participants will receive a 20% discount at 13 restaurants making this an event not to miss.  See you on the 14th!!!!

Marsha Dahlquist and members of her Saturday Plein Aire painting classes delivered a fascinating set of vignettes at our Feb 25th talk.  They bravely talked about their fears and the challenges involved in both plein aire painting and attending and art class - but also enthused about the fun they had.  Here are some short video clips from the event, followed by a slide show of photos.

Marsha DahlquistOur 4th "Meet the Artist" talk will be Thursday, Feb 25th, 5:30 at Cafelix.  Marsha Dahlquist, along with members of her Saturday "Plein Aire" Saturday painting class will be talking about their art experiences.  Marsha writes:

" The reluctant teacher...  3 years ago I was painting with Kathleen Frosse out in the desert.  It was her first time. She was struggling and kept asking for my help.  I got kind of grumpy because I wasn't able to spend anytime on my painting.  So, she said, "so why don't you charge me, that way I won't feel bad". I said, "I can't charge you Kathleen, you're my friend". And she said, "well how about if you get a group of us together and teach a class"?  And so it began.

I think I have learned more about painting by teaching, than actually painting.  I hear myself guiding the class and think,,,Oh yeah, that's that thing I need to be doing also.
It's been an amazing journey, watching the progress of my friends (most who have never painted before), become accomplished and proud of their work.
I am forever grateful to Kathleen for pushing me into the Saturday painting class. 
  So...  the women in the Saturday class will be talking about their experiences and struggles trying to catch the light in their paintings along with some of their work, the successes and the not so successful.
  Come join us. "
