Chuchito

Chuchito is Friday. Treehouse's first art exhibition in years. How many years? I am not sure. I stopped counting. I am happy that we are producing a new one. This exhibit is curated by Christine Humphrey, the Gallery Director at Tamarack: the best of WV, and myself. I am excited. I hope we have a good crowd and people are also excited to art in Beckley. We need more.

Don't get me wrong, there are many artists making art in Beckley. That is not the problem. There are plenty of them showing art in Beckley. But does anybody look at it? Does anybody care? I hope they do about Chuchito. We are artists who want to make more than paintings of flowers, chickens, fruit and mountains. Not that chickens are not a worthy subject. But if I want to see flowers I will walk in my backyard, and if I want to see mountains I will drive down the street. I want to see imagination and vision. Make my own judgements about the meaning. Other than its level of pretty or complacency. We will have plenty of art to ponder, of subjects you will only see at Chuchito.

I'll step off of my high horse soapbox and get back to the subject of this post, Chuchito. I am working on new art for the exhibit, promoting as best my schedule allows and organizing the other artists. I hope that it will be a success. There is a list of the artists on our Facebook page. "Like" it. Love it if you want.

You should come. And bring 50 of your closest friends.

New Shit

I have decided to work on another issue of The Clamorous Transmission. I needed time. I quit my job and have devoted my life to Art. The Clam is included in that. I have been thinking. I have been planning. The usual. I don't know when you will hold it in your grubby little paws. I am just saying that it is coming. I want to write about what I been experiencing since the last time I addressed the Clams observers. Patience is a virtue. And the best comes to those who wait. So, just wait. And thanks. It would be futile without you and your learned skill of reading and art.

The periodical

The wheels have been set in motion for the long dreamed of periodical bearing the name "The Clamorous Transmission." If you are an artist in southern West Virginia and want to contribute please email, Robby Moore.

Here is our mission statement:

The Clamorous Transmission is a periodical that creates dialogue about the Arts by presenting artwork by contemporary artists who live in Southern West Virginia, reporting regional art news and offering commentary.
