We're Making It!

Recently, Producer Adam Carr of 88Nine Radio Milwaukee started a series about art in Milwaukee. What do you know, our dear friend, RAA member, curator, and artist made the list! Evelyn Patricia Terry was interviewed in her new gallery, The Terry McCormick Gallery: Contemporary Fine and Folk Art. You can hear the entire interview here, and as a bonus, RAA member Shana Goetsch happens to be exhibiting in Evelyn's gallery also. She had a few good words to say about her own art, working with Evelyn, and the RAA. (This is the second interview snip) A good showing for our active members, congrats on 'Making Milwaukee' a creative place!

(p.s. I know the irony of posting this myself, but you do what you have to, if no one else is around to make the post. -sg)

Our Pick of Pics/Memorial Exhibit For George McCormick

Tonight, we celebrated the life and work of George Ray McCormick Sr. Come take the journey through his work with me.

The never-before-exhibited rooster series, and many dolls...




More details on the dolls...




Some of George's woodcut prints...




The famous coconut bug...




Even more prints...




There were seriously, a lot of people in The Jazz Gallery tonight...




Evelyn had a few words about George, and others read poems...




Darryl Jensen, our VP, made this (gorgeous) limited addition print of George from the photo a few posts below...




Evelyn, and George's son very much appreciated it...

Adam Carr Interviews Evelyn Patricia Terry

...at The Jazz Gallery! I was lucky enough to be privy to such an event, but it's mainly because everyone else has a full-time job. Either way, I'll take it, because it was very interesting watching an audio interview happen. I was able to see more than anyone else will, hearing it.

You can find the entirety of Adam's audio interview here, on JSonline's Art City Blog:
Adam Carr and Evelyn Patricia Terry talk about African American artists

Please click the link above, and here are a few of the shots that I took during the interview:
















You can actually hear my camera 'chirping' a few times during the interview. Yep. I never stop.

Thanks to John Richards, our prez, for sharing these very interesting and cool shots of the opening of 'The Permission to Paint, Please! Tribute Exhibition'. The show premiered this last Friday, on Gallery Night in Milwaukee.

here's some mingling and some art...

That's it. John has simply outdone himself with this photo...
