Big college town
John, The University of Wi. is here, lots of beer, brats, and football. The area is very liberal and casual. In art we seem to have a lot of angst, watercolor florals, landscapes, and experimental art. There is a great deal of "fun" art, fiber, weaving and jewelry, pottery etc.
I stick close to home most of the time, have been studying, painting and drawing and don't really know many other artists in the area. Guess this will be my chance to meet them.
When I was quilting, I was in an incubator (business) where many artists had studios, none did anything close to reality. We had a gallery for shows and open houses ect. that I participated in. There are a number of other "artsy" areas here, and I imagine they may be in the walk. But, I don't believe there are any portrait artists around.
It looks like there may be around 50 artists participating (a guess). I'll report more later.
