Will Chase Arts Presents: 2 Exhibition Opportunities

[Will Chase]

Hello Friends and Artists!

This is the inaugural email for the Will Chase Arts announce list ... don't be alarmed.  I only send out excellent exhibition opportunities for artists that I've either produced myself, or have personally vetted for quality.  Many of you I've exhibited at any number of shows, galleries and events, while some of you I've seen your pieces at shows, and was attracted to your work.  You can learn more about me and my services at www.willchase.com.  Onward ...

I have two very different opportunities coming up.  The first is a show I'm curating called "Alchemy", and if you're interested in exhibiting there, email me directly at wi...@willchase.com as soon as possible, ideally with medium-size JPGs of what you might like to show.  

The second opportunity is an art vending event called "Mission Bazaar", produced by my friends at Paradox Media and Artsfest ... it's more appropriate for artists accustomed to and comfortable with vending their work ... you can contact them directly if you're interested in participating.  

Thanks for being part of the arts in the Bay Area!  Read on for full details ...

=========================

FIRST OPPORTUNITY:

I'm looking for artists interested in participating in a <$100 gallery exhibition that I'm curating for a one-day show on Saturday, April 26th called Alchemy, where around 40-60 small pieces (of any media) will be for sale for any price UNDER $100.  I will also be hanging a separate exhibition of selected pieces that will be for sale at any price.  I'm looking for an eclectic mix of painting, photography, sculpture and mixed-media.  If you'd like to do a site-specific installation, let me know what you have in mind, and we can see if it would work.  Details follow:

On Saturday April 26, False Profit, LLC and Missing Piece, LLC will present ALCHEMY, a live and interactive art and fashion event. Refashioning notions of standard art, the artists and participants will toy with and combine different mediums for unlikely results. Last year's ALCHEMY at California Modern Art Gallery was so successful that it would’ve been irresponsible (probably even immoral) if we didn’t do it again this year.

Featuring:

Styles of Magic fashion show by Missing Piece @ 10pm

Phantoccino, a magic show by Keith Boudreau

Art Gallery by Will Chase Arts

Alchemical Afforestation, an interactive steel sculpture by Shira Loa

Digital Paint Mash-Up by Dangermarc

Pyrocardium, a heartbeat-powered candelabra by False Profit Labs

Each designer in the Missing Piece fashion show will depict a different era of magic, from Houdini's 1920s, to Voodoo, and on to the mysteries of Faeries and Pixies. Participating designers include Miranda Caroligne, Shira Loa, MonTree, Jeremy Parr, Charlie B., Antoniya Ivanova, Chrystie Cappelli, Galerah, and Leila Bazzani.

SECOND OPPORTUNITY:

This exhibition opportunity is more for the artists who are accustomed to vending their work.  My friends at Paradox Media and Artsfest are producing this event.  If you're interested in participating in it, please contact Justin Katz directly at jus...@missionbazaar.com, and let him know you heard about it through this list.

MISSION BAZAAR - The Shopping Spectacle

The Armory, 14th & Mission
Saturday, May 17  &  Sunday, May 18
10:00 am – 8:00 pm

CALL FOR ARTISTS – CREATIVE GIFT AND PERFORMANCE EXPO

Mission Bazaar is a creative shopping and performance expo that combines a more traditional arts and craft fair with a dynamic performance and music event produced in one of San Francisco's most dramatic historical landmarks.

Taking place inside the 40,000 sq. ft. drill court of The Amory, Mission Bazaar will showcase nearly 200 "artisans" exhibiting their uniquely designed creative products, while blending in 20 hours of live performances by singers, bands, circus and dance acts, performances artists, plus fashion shows, live collaborative painting and a dining court with food and drink.

Mission Bazaar promises to help support the creative economy of San Francisco and the Mission communities, while bringing together thousands of attendees with the wonderful artisans and performers presented. Special emphasis will be given to artists living and working in the Mission, and we'll be providing a limited number of free promotional tables to non-profits that are based in and serve the arts and creativity in the Mission. 

From the producers of the Edwardian Ball and Spectra Ball, Mission Bazaar brings together shopping and entertainment as an exciting new event contributing to the cultural life of the Bay Area. Please visit www.missionbazaar.com for more information and the registration form, and we hope to have you join us for our inaugural Mission Bazaar!

We look forward to hearing from you.

Creatively Yours, 

Justin Katz
