Small-works show at Flux

Lynne Yamaguchi — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 08:35:34 +0000

Friday and Saturday, July 9 and 10, 10 a.m.–5 p.m., Flux Gallery will present small works (less than 12 inches square or cubed) by Carol Ann, Karen Dombrowski-Sobel, Lee Roy Beach, Maurice Sevigny, Shirley Wagner, and me.

We have timed this show to coincide with the annual summer show of Zuni fetishes at our Plaza Palomino neighbor, Grey Dog Trading Company. As a special promotion, we will be offering 10% off of our small works to anyone who can show a receipt from Grey Dog from the same day; Grey Dog will reciprocate, offering 10% off their fetishes if you present a same-day receipt from Flux.

Some come check out both shows, between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. I will be there, along with some of my fellow artists, and I do have some new work to share!

Wine tasting at Luna Bella

Lynne Yamaguchi — Tue, 18 May 2010 07:00:42 +0000

Flux Gallery is teaming with Luna Bella to present “wine tasting with tasteful art” on Tuesday evenings. Each Tuesday from 5 to 7 p.m., while Luna Bella hosts a wine tasting, a Flux artist will present work at the restaurant, which is located down the plaza from the gallery at Plaza Palomino, in Suite 145. The artist will be on hand to chat about his or her work.

I will be showing my work on May 25. In addition to my vessels, I have turned some bottle stoppers for the occasion, a new product for me. I’ve been having fun with it. You know, even with such a simple item, form matters! I will be using a newly learned technique with some of the stoppers as soon as my supplies arrive—I hope in time for me to put them to show them off on May 25! Is your interest piqued? It’s something entirely new for me!

Karen Dombrowski-Sobel will be at Luna Bella tomorrow night, May 18. Lee Roy Beach will present his work on June 1.

Hope you can join us one of these evenings!

Open studio visit

One of the visitors to my studio posted photos on her blog. See them here. The commentary is in Japanese, so most of you won’t be able to read it, but you can see the images.

TMA Spring Artisans’ Market

Lynne Yamaguchi — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 08:34:55 +0000

This coming weekend, the Tucson Museum of Art will present its Spring Artisans’ Market at the museum (140 N Main Ave). Not only will you find a wide variety of fine art and crafts for sale, you can also view the current Andy Warhol and Ed Mell special exhibits at the museum without an entrance fee. And the food at the museum is worth a visit by itself. The weather is predicted to be sunny in the high 70s–low 80s, so come out and celebrate spring, glorious spring!

I will be in Booth 104, on the east side of the museum in front of the blue wall, next to Casa Cordova and catercorner from Old Town Artisans. See you there!

Flux benefit for the Tucson Symphony Orchestra

Lynne Yamaguchi — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 06:47:26 +0000

On Friday, April 2, Flux Gallery will host a special reception to benefit the Tucson Symphony Orchestra (TSO) beginning at 6:00 p.m. The reception will feature a performance by TSO principal flutist, Alexander “Sasha” Lipay. The reception and performance are free and open to the public. The artists of Flux will donate 30% of all sales that evening to the TSO (tax deductible to the buyer!). An open bar and hors d’oeuvres will be provided.

Tucson Artists’ Open Studio Tour

Lynne Yamaguchi — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 07:00:58 +0000

The spring Tucson Artists’ Open Studio Tour is coming up again next weekend, March 13 and 14. I will be here from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., so please come by and see what I’ve been up to (and get first dibs!). I may even have some work in progress on the lathe, as I’m busy getting ready for the Spring Artisans’ Market at the Tucson Museum of Art at the end of March. I’m especially trying to finish some mesquite vessels with stone inlay.

You can find all the details about the tour, including a complete list of participating artists and maps of the studio locations, online at the tour’s website or in the current issue of Zócalo magazine. (This “Tucson Urban Scene Magazine” is worth hunting down; read it online or find it at various locations around town.) Fellow Flux artists Steven Derks, Peter Eisner, and Maurice Sevigny will also be opening their studios.
