"Confluence" Opens April 10th at Satellite Gallery



Confluence: a place where things merge or flow together. This is the theme for our upcoming show. The concept is bringing in visiting artists that merge together with a local artist. This concept brings perspectives that we may not get here in Eastern. So we thought it was a good idea.



We will be featuring the work of Nathan Orton (Portland, OR), Maria Kondratiev (New York), and our own Eric Coon.



Please plan to join us for the opening reception. 6-9pm on Friday April 10th, 2009.

More information and complete show details coming soon.

Satellite Gallery Opening: Dollar Menu


Cold Coffee Media and Satellite Gallery announces Dollar Menu, a National Juried show opening on Friday, July 11. The concept for this show was for artists to create pieces made from dollar store items or utilize imagery of the dollar in the work they entered. The result is a curious collection of diverse work that demonstrates the varied interpretations of the guidelines. The variety of work also illustrates the uniqueness of each individual artist’s response to the task of creating work that expresses their opinions of the national and global economies, consumerism and disposable commodities.
