"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.

Eastern Exposure

"Eastern Exposure" is an exhibit of work by the advanced students of EOU photography professor Kerry Loewen and ceramics professor Peter Johnson.

This exhibit is yet another example of the exemplary work being produced by the students and faculty of Eastern Oregon University. In an effort to connect the downtown community and the University, Satellite Gallery is working with EOU to bring the best of their art downtown.

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.

Dreamt of a waitress named "BETTY"

I call it "WORLBLING".

Last night - after hosting a small reception for Thursday's Art Walk in La Grande, and after a brief visit to the Long Branch, then after watching "The Snowman" with family and friends I found myself hard asleep.

I dreamt of a waitress named "BETTY" who was present to take my order. There was no menu - the menu was my mind - creative mind - and the kitchen was stalked with all the right ingredients for whatever it is I wanted to manifest. I thought for a moment and asked Betty, "what do you recommend?"...to which she replied...

"To the talking tickers of time, the dancers of destiny, the fiery faeries of fate, to the frequent flyers of fantasy, the dreamers of desire, to the tip-toed Tally-Hoers who temp the tempest of all...
May I offer you the pancakes."

I call it "WORBLING" - Information has been downloaded...although conscious - not yet.

Here's what we did before 9am today:
