Terrain announces its 2010 call for artist’s submissions
Spokane, Washington - August 25, 2010 — Last year 3100 people piled into Spokane’s Music City building to view an exhibition of over 30 emerging local artists — some of whom had never shown in a gallery, coffee shop or public setting of any kind. In one night they gained the kind of exposure that takes years to achieve.
For Terrain 2010, organizers are reasserting their commitment to highlighting this bubbling undercurrent of emerging local talent. We’d like to invite the region’s emerging artists to submit their latest work.
In our two years of existence, Terrain has shown works of visual art, sculpture, fiber art, photography, graffiti, film and installation pieces ranging from trash mosaics to mini suspended aquaria with live goldfish. We’ve showcased pop bands, dance troupes and poets. We make no distinction between high art and low art — we simply want to showcase emerging artists with talent and fresh perspectives.
Please submit online at www.terrainspokane.com.
Submissions are due to the website by September 10 at midnight. Artists selected will by notified by September 17. We will be jurying specific pieces of art, so please only submit pieces that are available for the event.
Terrain 2010 will take place at the Music City Building (1011 W. First Ave., Spokane) on Friday, October 1 beginning at 5 pm and ending at 1:30 am.
ABOUT TERRAIN: Terrain was conceived in 2008 by a group of young organizers obsessed with helping their peers get noticed by the art establishment. Their idea was to host a juried exhibition (which would carry credibility with the establishment) with the atmosphere of a pop concert (the event had an emcee and a half dozen local and regional bands and artists), with the intent of giving all ages of people, regardless of taste in art or music, an excuse to come together, make contact and facilitate art that stretches across traditional boundaries.
Terrain 2010 is going to be an incredible night of art, rock and community. Join us.

For all that I write about OTHER people's art, this month I put it on the line and showed my own work. Check it out at the Saranac through September 25. Here are some photos from the day after the opening, which was great. Loved seeing so many friends and meeting new people. And always interesting to get reactions to my work!

PRESS RELEASE
MOSCOW, Idaho – The University of Idaho's Prichard Art Gallery will showcase the artwork created by Alexis Gregg and Tanner Coleman, Wednesday, Aug. 18 through Sunday, Sept. 12. A reception will be held on Friday, Aug. 27, from 5-8 p.m.
The exhibit will feature sculptures and ceramic artwork created by Gregg and Coleman. Inspired by the Asian influence and the use of mythical defense mechanisms used in art and architecture throughout history, the works exemplify how mythical sculpture has played a meaningful role in religion and life.
“We are emphasizing the aesthetic beauty over the purpose,” said Gregg.
The exhibit features pieces that utilize sculpted industrial brick with glazed ceramic adornment. Through the combination of ceramic techniques and architecture, Gregg and Coleman reinvent historical ideas and styles through sculpture.
“We are interested in how this technique can be scaled up and down and how it can be applied to permanent projects, public art and architecture,” said Gregg.
Gregg will teach a beginning clay course this fall at the University of Idaho as a visiting artist and will introduce students to the use of architectural ceramic. Gregg earned a bachelor's degree in fine arts in ceramics from the University of Georgia and a master's degree in fine arts in ceramics from California State University, Long Beach. She has taught art and ceramics to children and adults.
“The exhibit is a wonderful way to meet the visiting artist in the Art & Design program,” said Roger Rowley, Prichard Art Gallery director. “Visiting artists add energy and vitality. Alexis’ presence will meet the needs of students interested in ceramics. The exhibit gives an opportunity for the university and community to understand what Alexis and Tanner bring to Moscow.”
Coleman draws inspiration from human relationships with natural surroundings and each other. He earned a bachelor's degree in fine arts in sculpture from the University of Georgia.
The Prichard Art Gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The gallery is closed Monday. The gallery, an outreach facility of the University of Idaho, is located at 414/416 S. Main St., on the corner of Fifth and Main streets in downtown Moscow.
Admission is free. Additional information is available at http://www.uidaho.edu/galleries> .
