We went over to check out I Am Animal (Friday January 15th) at Black Maria Gallery. This group show, guest curated by Aaron Smith, featured the works of some talented female artists whose “imagery that is beastly and beautiful, funny and ferocious,” including Sarah Williamson, Mashanda Scott, Nicole Adee Dreyfuss, Connie Wong, Grace Kim, Brianna Harden, Saejean Oh, Alisha Amirkhanian, Shannon Freshwater and Daniaelle Simonsen.  I’d highly recommend seeing this collection of female artists before the show ends.

Black Maria Gallery in Atwater, CA presents it’s fifth annual Black Market at Black Maria: Skip The Mall show, which will feature several works by artists such as Adam Alaniz, Lydiaemily Archibald, Miss Withers, Danni Shinya Luo, Lauren Gardiner, Jane Gotts, Catia Chien and many more!!

Black Maria Gallery opens “The Kids are Alright”, an emerging artist showcase series this weekend. “The Kids are Alright” is a five city showcase tour of 25 young artists that have either recently graduated or are still attending art school. The Series was designed to give young artists an opportunity to develop their talents while receiving direction and feedback from a curator and several different galleries.

The Tour is curated by me, Beau Basse, owner of LeBasse Projects in Los Angeles. The goal in producing the Tour is to create a platform for young artists to gain experience working with galleries in order to properly prepare them for future success as professional artists.

For the show at Black Maria artists were asked to work exclusively in black and white.

The Kids Are Alright
July 18th through August 8th, 2009
