Upcoming This Friday 08/03/2007

Last Friday is on First Friday! What does this arcane phrase refer too? This coming Friday morning (August 3, 2007) is the last ArtGroop meeting for the summer. This Friday is also First Friday in San Antonio. If you have never been to a First Friday before i highly recommend it. This is an opportunity to visit all the galleries in the Blue Star complex as well as a few of the independent non-profits like Unit-B and Sala Diaz in one evening. All these galleries stay open until 9PM (some later) while showcasing new exhibits to the public. Usually loads of fun. For directions see Mapquest.

As for the ArtGroop talk this Friday I will be discussing the following topics:

1. Co-authorship of this blog site. This site was set up with the intention that some of you art students would sign up to co-author this blog and update it with information on art topics, exhibits, and opportunities as you come across them. Anyone who is interested in posting on this site can sign up with me on Friday and we'll set those folks up with a password so they can help out with the spread of information.

2. Discuss if and when/where this group will continue to meet in the fall.

3. I'll have a couple of essays I'll be handing out for you to read, digest, and ponder over the remainder of the summer.

Lastly, if you have any questions or suggestions for future ArtGroop activities bring them with you. If we have time I might even show a video documentation from an undergrad art group from UNT called "Good/Bad Art Collective".

ArtGroop will meet in the student lounge from 10:30-11:20AM. Hope to see you there.
