Day of the Dead: Contemporary Visions

Our latest project is celebrating "dia de los muertos" with style. We have six artists confirmed and more coming as we tackle this tradition in a contemporary way. Below is an example of the artists creations inspired by our mortality.

The artshow will be on view Friday October 29-November 12. Artist opening is this Friday the 29th from 7-9pm and we will have the studio open during MECA's Day of the Dead Festival Saturday and Sunday 10am-4pm.
 

ARToberFEST 2010

festival season is here in texas...it's finally perfect weather to sit outside and enjoy the cool breezes. we spent last weekend in galveston at ARToberFEST, along post office street downtown. it was our first experience at a juried show and we loved it! you can see our booth above, it definitely has the feel of our studio in houston...with the hand-painted sign we framed with one of our antique store finds.

we're looking forward to a few more local festivals in the coming months...come see us at vintage park in north houston or in the heights! see events page for more information. we're also working to update our etsy shop once we get our inventory in order from the festival...hopefully soon!
