So it’s been a while since we updated you on the arts scene in Brewerytown, and boy do we have a lot to tell!

First up is Brewerytown resident Peter Morgan’s upcoming show, opening October 5th, at The Clay Studio. Peter’s work

…is an investigation and celebration of cultural mythologies. I think of my sculptures as being platonic ideals in physical form. They focus on our ideal understandings and desires of these objects in our minds, yet they often bear very little in common with the actuality of these concerns.

I think of my work as being a conspiracy where everyone knows that they are not dealing with an authentic object, but something quite far from that. Yet the viewer is willing to suspend disbelief and understand the arrangement as a common experience…

Next up is Brewerytown resident Giselle Hicks – whom you’ve heard about here previously. This time we are writing about Giselle to offer congratulations on her work being purchased by Anthroplogie, opening it up to a worldwide audience.

These pillowed ceramic wall-hangings designed to evoke memories and create a dialog about the everyday object’s primary function: comfort, warmth, support, rest and privacy. The construction of this four-piece set was carried out with a meticulous eye for detail and attention to space, which the artist likens to the process of quilting.

Lastly, we see the exciting story of the Bailey Street Arts corridor was picked up upon by Flying Kite Media. The brain child of Brewerytown resident Michael Connelly, the Bailey Street Arts Corridor is picking up steam!!
