New In the Shop: I Want Candy!

Pink Isotopes — like a cotton-candy sugar high!

I won’t even begin to give all the excuses for not posting — it would be lame. Instead, I plan to “sugar over” everything, with this sweet pair; Pink Isotopes and Splat.

They’re both brand-spankin’-new in the shop, and arrive just in time to complement all the sugary goodness that will be consumed this Saturday.

Mention this post when you buy both, and I’ll refund the price of one of them (two for one!)

Check it out — it’s a treat!

Splat — a confectionery concoction!

ArtPrize: My Show at Peaches

Posted by Nancy Tobin on Oct 4, 2009 in Events & Happenings

Here's an example of some of the fine work done at Peaches last Sunday!

Some of the beautiful collages made during last Sunday's Demo Day — what fun!

It’s taken me a while to update. The week in Grand Rapids for ArtPrize was a blur of activity; splitting time between Peaches events, seeing art and seeing family. Lucky for me — the “seeing art” part went well with the “seeing family” part — many of my siblings were determined to view as much art as they could, during the first week of voting.

Peaches was great! The house itself is a grand old Georgian beauty, and was a fun change from the usual spare gallery style walls. Folks I shared the venue with were a delightful and talented bunch. And the owner of Peaches, Jane Lovett, worked tirelessly to promote her artists and make all the events wonderful.

We had good crowds. I was a little worried about being outside of the downtown loop, but every day, folks were waiting at the doors to get in the place before it opened. I saw old friends and met a lot of new.

The show is still up, so if you find yourself in Grand Rapids, Mich, stop by!
