...and you are invited!
Come see what all the fuss is about...
Open Studio is a community of artists and creatives of all kinds and all ages who create together.
Last month, there were people making jewelery, making stamps, painting, drawing, 3D modeling on computers, setting digital pictures to music, sculpting with clay, playing the drums, chatting, eating, sharing ideas and inspirations, looking through creativity books...do what you enjoy!
Invite your friends, kids, neighbors, enemies, etc.

Open Studio Group Project Update
Hello Open Studio Creative Folk,
Those of you who have been around for awhile know that we've been talking about doing a group show with all collaborative art. Our target timing for the show will be January 2012. That means we've got to get moving.
Those who want to participate will need to come up with a theme/concept, and some parameters for that theme/concept.
Example: Last month, Julie provided various sized blocks to everyone who was interested in participating in her collaborative project. We are supposed to "art up" the blocks any way we so choose, get them back to Julie and then she is in charge of putting together the final product.
Please send me an email with your theme/concept and parameters ASAP: katie@justwonderingthrough.com. I will compile them, and get them out to the group. I will also have a list at the next Open Studio. Please bring any materials that people will need to use for your project.
Don't want to participate in the group show? No problem. Come to Open Studio anyway!

September Open Studio: Saturday, September 24: 12-3pm
"Many people do not consider themselves creative, often because they can’t draw or sing. However, every human being has been given the most essential tool for creativity, and that’s the human imagination. There isn’t a person alive on this planet without imagination. You may not be very imaginative, or you may limit your travels through your imagination, but you have one."
- Erwin McManus
Engage your imagination this month with Open Studio.
Open Studio is just as it sounds; an open space to create in the presence of others, without judgment, without the pressure of having to produce anything in particular. We do challenge each other with different projects, and are just starting to work on collaborative art pieces for an upcoming show. Come join us.

Group Show - Projects!
Our Newest Goal: Have a group show in October of this year. All pieces will be displayed in The Block, and will be collaborative pieces. Everyone is welcome to participate!
What do I mean by collaborative? Essentially everyone who wants to participate will be a project manager (responsible for concept and compilation of pieces) and contributor (responsible for creating based on each concept).
Project managers dream up a concept (broad or specific - what are you drawn to?), and explain the concept to contributors.
Contributors create individual pieces based on the concept.
The project manager is then responsible for compiling the individual pieces into a final piece that represents their original concept.
EXAMPLE:
I choose a concept - "trees"
I explain my concept to others
Everyone interprets and creates based on my concept of trees (I didn't provide any additional information or material specifications, so it is really broad. I could end up with photographs, drawings, an interpretive tree dance, a branch off of a tree, a poem about a tree, who knows? You can be more specific with your concept if you'd like.)
I compile a collaborative piece with everyone's "tree" artwork
It's a beautiful blend of working together, communicating, letting go, etc...
Respond in the comments section with your concepts so we can start thinking about them.
P.S. This is totally optional. You can come to Open Studio and do whatever you want, hence the "Open"...however, we thought this could be a fun challenge. Either way, looking forward to seeing you Third Saturday.
August Open Studio - Come Join Us Next Saturday, August 20 from 12 - 3pm
We are a community of courageous creatives...we create together because it's fun.
Bring your friends, ideas, and art forms of any kind...
When: Every Third Saturday - 12-3pm
Where: The Block - part of Lakeside Campus
745 Oak Avenue Parkway
Folsom, CA

July Open Studio - Saturday, July 30 at noon: Collaborative Art Begins!
Hello, hello!
I hope all is well with everyone. We normally meet for Open Studio every third Saturday of the month, but July is an exception. I apologize for the last minute notice. It will be on July 30th this month. (more details below) Hope to see you all there!
P.S. In June we talked about having a group showing of our art starting in October. We discussed creating collaborative works for the show. This could integrate any art form think big! Essentially, each person would come up with a concept (broad or specific), and then ask others to create separate pieces based on that concept. The pieces would then be collected and a final piece would be compiled by the person who came up with the concept originally. It will be a fun creative process that will take some time...
Ex:
I choose a concept - "photographs of water"
I explain my concept to others
Everyone takes a picture of water as they interpret the concept
Everyone brings their pictures back to me
I compile a collaborative piece with everyone's artwork
It's a beautiful blend of working together, communicating, letting go, etc...
The Block 745 Oak Avenue Parkway, Folsom, CA.
What is Open Studio?
It’s a FREE event for people looking for a place to create art and create community.
Artist of all kinds are encouraged to join us for this FREE, studio-style workshop, where the main objective is to create art that expresses who you are and challenges you as an artist.
Where is it?
The Block
745 Oak Avenue Parkway
Folsom, CA
(Part of the Lakeside church campus)
Who is Open Studio for?
Open Studio is for any artist looking to create art and get to know other artists. We encourage all painters, sculptors, sketch artists, photographers, welders, woodworkers, musicians, dancers, actors, writers, film makers, poets, and other artists of all kinds to join us!
Why should I come to an event like this?
Simply put, artists work better in community. To have another creative person to bounce ideas off of, share feedback with, and just have a good time with while you create is a very valuable tool for any artist. The goal of Open Studio is not only to create art, but also to create community among local artists. At Open Studio, we aim to encourage not only your creative side, but also your social side.
What do I bring?
Whatever creative medium you want to work in that day. It doesn’t cost anything, but you will have to bring your own supplies. Sometimes we bring things we want to share with others just to see if it inspires someone else.
Yay, come join us!
Sincerely,
Katie Murphy
