|Giveaway| Artist of the Falls 2

01 March, 2013

 
today I bring you a very special giveaway with a special project behind it, my friend Talia Rodriguez owner of Artist of the Falls came to me to see if I can help her as she is opening up a second art studio in Coral Gables, FL and is looking for assistance to be able to make this happen. I met Talia last year when my photographer Sasha set up a girls night at her Art Studio (see post here). Her art studio already serves for a wonderful space for people of all ages to express the love for art, even more so the time to have children express their creativity in a positive and fun way, develop their skills and prepare them for a professional career in art. In addition to all these services in her current studio, she has provided art supplies for underprivileged and sick children in foster care programs, hospitals and after-care centers through an annual Art Collection Drive. She is looking forward to be able to provide free art classes, organic body products and paintings, among other things. So you can see why I couldn't say not to her, I had to find a way to assist her in the process as I am a believer in helping those who are doing positive things in our communities, especially when these places are harbouring creativity for children.
 
now the info on the giveaway, Talia is graciously giving one of my readers the chance to win a gouache illustration as the one pictured above. Below are the rules to enter the giveaway.

On my mind

having some desert fun at Plant The Future

 two weekends ago I went to my first Wynwood Art Walk, I had wanted to make it out there for a while and every time it rolled around I had something that would keep me from going. My friend Vivi (pictured above) came back from Pharmacy School and we needed to see each other, so I decided that going out to dinner was not enough. It was lots of fun but very crowded and hot, so I would recommend you go in the fall or winter when temperatures are not in the hundreds. The Wynwood Art Walk happens every second Saturday of the month and it takes up a couple of blocks, parking is a little hard to find so get there early.

Hope you have enjoyed your weekend and may you have a fantastic week.

Mixology a {RAW} event

17 July, 2012


last Thursday I attended Mixology a RAW natural born artists event which took place in the very cool The Stage to support my friend Wendy X. Ordonez H. an artist and the graphic designer who did my very own logo. She has incredible talent, her paintings look so real it's freakishly amazing. The first three paintings are hers. I was feeling really tired that day and I didn't really want to go out but I knew I had to go to support her, and boy so glad I did because I had a great time. The venue itself was pretty cool, I fell in love with it. I had heard of The Stage but never had the chance to make it there, so when my friend sent me the info to the event I thought it would be the best opportunity to check it out. What a great concept it is to have a group of artists come out and show their pieces whether it be art, fashion, photography, film, music, beauty, or performing arts it is a way to come together and celebrate the world of creativity.

Looking forward to attending others to come and check out their website and my friend's if you get the chance.

Normally I wouldn't cover this event on the blog, but I wanted to show support to my friend because there is nothing better than to help those who follow their passion.
