The Funky, Off-beat Artistry of Jon Arge
11.27.11
“Drag Queen Rejoicing” could be the title of the collection Jon Arge is offering for ARTvision-6: “restoreARTive: creative therapy.” Named Best Local Artist by readers of GA Voice in 2010, Jon is found frequently bucking trends and busting preconceived notions - and that includes our custom-framed photos of drag queens like “DisFunksha.” (read more)
As he told Mike Fleming in a profile of Jon in Project Q Atlanta last year:
This year we are offering multiple pieces - small and large - from Jon as full donations, so you’ll have to join us next Thursday to be some of the lucky ones to get these last remaining in the series. So...
Please join us this Thursday, 1 December 2011, at The Phillip Rush Center for ARTvision Atlanta’s first standalone event. As always, 100% of proceeds benefit Positive Impact. (RSVP on Facebook or Evite). Admission is free for all.
As he told Mike Fleming in a profile of Jon in Project Q Atlanta last year:
“My art consists of everything I’ve shoved in my eyes since birth, and it’s all in my head mingling around like a cocktail party. I’m just the host,” he explains. “There are a billion different themes that can get it on in a billion different ways, and when a piece is ready, it simply reveals itself to me. I go to work on it, and while I’m doing so, the piece then reveals even more about itself along the way.”

"Splish Splash" In Brenda McMillen's Heart of Love Series
11.26.11
Only a handful of artists have been with ARTvision every year since inception, and Brenda McMillen is one of them. What’s more, she’s sold at least one piece in each of those years. So let’s keep Brenda’s streak alive with “Splish Splash,” the latest in her “Heart of Love” series. (read more)

The Stunning, Mixed-media Photography of AlexisCoram
11.22.11
(22 November 2011 :: ATLANTA/CHICAGO) You’re in for some great photography selections for this year’s ARTvision - and some of our best and most creative ever from Chicago’s own AlexisCoram. I met Alexis when I attended the wedding of Jim Verraros & Bill Brennan (which, by the way, yielded the ARTvision image “Moments that Matter,” a piece that sold twice in a matter of minutes in 2009), and we hit it off immediately.
Upon an astute reminder-suggestion by Penny Frulla, one of our awesome artist outreach gals, we successfully talked Alexis into joining the ARTvision fold with “Waterboy” and “Ascent,” two stunning photography pieces output to metal that will knock your socks off. (read more)
“Waterboy” is a celebratory shot of a water fountain in the evening, with warm tones and illumination. “Ascent” is an sparse, abstract scene of a dry flower. Both are mounted on metal; we’re offering each at $300 or $550 for the pair. - WP

Featured: Todd Wiggins' Nature Photography Yields "Presence"
11.21.11
As a first-time exhibitor, traveler extraordinaire Todd Wiggins brings a unique, thoughtful eye to each scene he encounters. “The original reason for taking this picture was that I thought it was beautiful, so I found a unique angle looking directly down from above the cactus,” he says. “This framed the delicate bloom amid the harsh spines protruding in every direction from the stems below.
“Unknowingly at the time and as sometimes luckily happens, this photograph also captured the feeling of the moment and the essence of the object.
“I feel the ‘presence’ of nature in this photograph - the peace of the dessert, the grandeur of its home in the Grand Canyon,” he adds. “Nature continually astounds me in its ability to be completely present and self-assured despite its fragility.” For more, go directly to Todd’s ARTvision artist page.
“Presence” is offered for a donation to Positive Impact for $400.

First-ever 'Quad Collaboration' with "Tis of Thee..."
11.15.11
(15 November 2011 :: Atlanta & Chicago) This is one of the coolest stories of this year’s ARTvision.
The tale begins with AlexisCoram and her website, PhotographProse.com. I’ve been a contributor to this site for some time, most recently with “No Regrets from the Greener Sanctuary,” a poem I wrote set to Zed Boucher-Myers’ photo to commemorate Thom Anderson’s new counseling space.
The point of PhotographProse is to join writers and photographers in an online environment, to collaborate and tell stories and exchange creative ideas. Very much in line with the ARTvision philosophy.
Fast forward to this past September 11, when I loaded a photo entitled “Pride” to my blog, shot on the streets of Provincetown, Mass., to accompany a blog post about the 10th anniversary of that horrific day. Unbeknownst to me, longtime ARTvision artist Brenda Knosher jumped on the site and wrote “’Tis of Thee” as a prose reflection of the image and day.
From that point, I got it in my nutty head to ask my mother, Mary Pollock, to use her expert calligraphy in “typesetting” the poem on a piece of archival art/drawing paper. I found the perfect frame, too, at Binders and have since distressed the interior to match the color of the door.
The quad-collaboration was hence born, and so we’re offering “’Tis of Thee,” to Positive Impact donors for $400. Thanks to Alexis, Brenda, my mother for contributing to this cool storyline. - WP
