Check out SCA member Gretchen Parker

My next Open Studio will be Friday, November 2 from 10 AM to 1 PM. We focus on colored pencil but other mediums are welcome. Bring a project you are working on. If you are a newbie to CP I will help get you started by teaching you the basics. If you are using Photoshop Elements and need a bit of help with it I can help with that as well. This is always a mixed group but we also always learn a lot from each other.

Space is limited so you need to let me know if you plan to come. Please drop me an email at: g1retchen@gmail.com

Charge: $20

Also please mark your calender. The next CPSA SC District 124 Chapter meeting will be here in Lexington Saturday November 10 at 12:30 at Pilgrim Lutheran Church, 1430 N. Lake Dr.,Lexington. I will do a short presentation on rendering water combining watercolor and colored pencil. We also hope to show the DVD of the CPSA International show held in Covington KY this summer.

This is a wonderful opportunity to get to meet CP artists from around the state and hear of the plans for this brand new chapter. To join the group you must be a member of the Colored Pencil Society of America cpsa.org. Dues for our local chapter http://www.cpsa124.org/ are $15.00 You can send your dues to the treasurer: Jim Sibley 882 Sand Binder Dr., Myrtle Beach SC 29579. Make your check out to CPSA district 124.

Call to artists and more!

Calling all buskers!

Are you a street performer, street musician, minstrel, or troubadour? Would you like to show your talent to the world, but don’t know how to get started? Try a small town audience, it offers you a great start, and the experience of performing in public. It is our desire to provide space to performing artists who wish to show their talent either as a onetime gig or ongoing, regardless of your skills (amateur or professional buskers).

Who are we? The APPLS/SCA group creates events for artists who have a desire to progress their skills and talent to a wide range of audiences. Our events give all artists the opportunity to show the general public how wonderful life is when the arts are involved.

We have a lot of upcoming arts centered events and would like to invite performing artists who wish to entertain. For a limited time performing artists may participate, in our outdoor art events, free*. Participation includes multiple promotions, collaboration with a large arts group, the experience of performing, understanding how to accept tips/gratuity, how to schedule shows, forming great connections, freeing you from the tedious job of looking for locations to perform.

Performers may do acrobatics, animal tricks, balloon twisting, card tricks, caricatures, clowning, comedy, contortions and escapes, dancing, singing, fire eating, fire breathing (depending on location), juggling, magic, mime and a mime variation where the artist performs as a living statue, musical performance, puppeteering, storytelling or recite poetry or prose as a bard, street theatre, sword swallowing, and even put on a flea circus.

To apply: send an email to art@artinlexington.com include name & nom-de-plume, phone number, email, and a brief description of your work, restrictions, space required, etc.

*FREE? Buskers are not charged a fee to participate as long as they are only providing entertainment and passing out self promotions. In return APPLS provides signage & promotion.

Call 803-808-5328 for more information or visit SouthCarolinaArtists.com SouthCarolinaArtists.com or ArtinLexington.com ArtinLexington.com
