Please take a moment to read Adam Testa's recent article in The Southern about Karen Fiorino, a potter who lives in Makanda. It's very inspiring! Here's the link:

"Fall into Winter" Art Show at Audubon State Park
From Carolyn Jones at Angel Mounds, Indiana,
Hello Friends,
We are so excited to be able to offer an additional juried show for our artist members this year at Audubon State Park! It has been a few years since we have been able to reserve a show date at Audubon and for those of you who have exhibited there before, you know what a great space it is! This exhibit called "Fall Into Winter will require that the artwork (up to 3 pieces) must represent either the fall or winter seasons in some way. There will also be a small entry fee (and I mean very small!) to help cover some of our expenses and new members may join at this time.
Sherry Wilkerson will be coordinating this event so all correspondence must go to her at sherrywilkerson@att.net or call her at 270-830-7457 for any questions. For our members who work with 3D, please give Sherry a call to make sure your work will fit into one of the display cases.
Please read the entry form carefully since the information differs from the requirements associated with our exhibits at Angel Mounds. Drop off is on a Tuesday morning so if you have any problems getting it there at that time, please call Sherry to see if there are any other accomodations for you. We don't want anyone to be left out!
Just in case you forget and send me your info, I will make sure to forward it on to her!
We want to encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity!

Angel Mounds Exhibit "Anything Goes"
From Carolyn Jones at Angel Mounds
Hello Friends,
Our next exhibit at Angel Mounds, "Anything Goes" is coming in just a few short weeks but not to worry, as the title says, anything may go into this exhibit. We originally planned to call it "Pumpkin Passion" but several members have requested that we have more non-specific theme exhibits so this is for you! There is no date or subject requirements so no excuses! We expect that everyone will have at least one piece on hand they can enter so let's fill up the small gallery! In the case we end up with more artwork than the gallery can hold (what a nice thought!) we may only be able to hang one per artist or on a "first come basis."
Please call 270-826-6674 for more information..
An opening reception is planned for October 13 from 1:00-2:30pm.
Please pass this info on to your artist friends! We accept new members at any time.

Art Show Opens at Longbranch Coffeehouse
September 29 - November 2, 2012
Carbondale, IL - The Treehouse Artist Collective is pleased to announce the showing of their "Recent Work" at the Lonbranch Coffeehouse, 100 E. Jackson St. in Carbondale's Historic Town Square District. The Art Show opened on Saturday, September 29 and runs through Friday, November 2, 2012. A Closing Reception will be held on Friday, November 2, 7 - 9pm at the Longbranch Coffeehouse. The show consists of paintings by Jim King, Wahid Lewis, Andrea LeBeau, and photographs by Julian Milo, Danielle Konings, Greg Wendt, Terry Hickey, and photography students ages 8 - 12 years. Both the front and back room of the Longbranch are lined with this beautiful artwork that is for sale.
The Treehouse Artist Collective was founded in 2008 by three artists looking for studio space to foster their creative endeavors. With forteen foot ceilings, huge windows, and a view to die for, the Treehouse became the ideal place for creative play. Today, The Treehouse is an artistic home to several photographers, videographers, painters, writers, sculptors, and aspiring young artists. We share resources, collaborate, and offer art & photography classes. The Treehouse is located above the Town Square Market in Carbondale, IL.
Art and photography classes will be held this Fall for children and adults. More information to come.
