The Taste of the Arts festival is designed to become an annual celebration of inspiration. Arts United's newest tradition begins August 29, 2009 from 11 am-4 pm.

The Arts United board of directors has resolved to embrace this event as an annual community project and fundraiser for emerging needs. The first event will raise money specifically for a new arts education grants program for schools.
In addition to food vendors, the festival will host stages for arts performances and free booths for arts organizations to distribute their fall season schedules. A marketplace will feature local art for sale. The Taste of the Arts committee would like to offer you the opportunity to participate in the premiere of Fort Wayne's newest family festival. Here are some details for selling your artwork:

-As a fundraiser, we are asking artists to contribute a $50 participation fee

I am still known for having elegant lines, along with a strong sense of color and joy. I am still excited to open the kilns and see my latest glass piece or lampwork beads. I am happy to be able to share them with others."

Deadline June 10 for Motherlode Exhibit Entries
Motherlode Group has once again been invited to exhibit at the Allen County Public Library’s Jeffery Krull Art Gallery. For this event we wish to connect established adult female artists with young female artists ages 12-18. As the title of the exhibition Big Ideas in Small Packages suggests, the theme of the work will be very broad, however, the size of the work will be limited to 8”x8” (unframed). The final framed piece can be no larger than 15”x15”.
The Motherlode Group was developed to illustrate the strength of female artwork. As we have grown, the group has evolved into a connection between professional artists of all disciplines as well as to those artists in their early stages. The organization continues to establish a common ground where female artists can meet, inspire one another and grow from the experience.

Huntington University's Digital media arts program to host Spring Showcase
May 13 at 7 pm
Merillat Centre for the Arts
Huntington University’s digital media arts program will host the Spring Showcase at 7 p.m. on May 13 in the Zurcher Auditorium of the Merillat Centre for the Arts.
There is no admission charge, and the event is open to the public. Popcorn and pop will be available.
This event is a screening of student productions. All digital media arts students in animation and live action had the option to submit work to be featured. Students’ work has been divided up into categories including animation, live action and senior projects. Once those projects have been shown, awards will be announced and then followed by a special raw and unplugged segment.
Some of the media to be featured in the Spring Showcase was already on display at the Graduating Digital Media Arts Majors Exhibit in the Robert E. Wilson Gallery that ended May 5. However, the Spring Showcase will present the completed version of those works.
“The senior exhibit takes place in the gallery setting and does not lend itself well to screening the finished production,” explained Sandy Hartle, digital media arts assistant
