This was the first time the ProletariYacht Club has participated in The Building’s Fall open studios event, although before we had our space here, Tim would often play at Myka Guitars for their openings, and Caravan Gallery Parlor & Roadside Attractions joined in the Summer Extravaganza last year. We were honored to be hosting Anette Lusher- Cree as our Featured Artist. Her elegant, evocative work is such a pleasure to have in our space. Congratulations to the two people who won those sweet small pieces in the drawings!!! And a big thank you to Anette for the kind and generous addition to the evening! It’s a delight to work with this talented, professional, and super fun artist!
We also hosted five musical acts on our stage. Tim Scallon and Alan Sobel kicked it off, followed by Brian Cutler who switched between his beautiful stand up bass and his guitar. Next came Joe Ross and Ronnie Pierce, (on licorice stick!!!) who had people dancing in the isles, and then were joined by David a lovely random guest that heard about the event and brought his Sax. Scott Adams graced us with guitar and accordion tunes from his newest Birds May Bite album, and Tambor E Cordas serenaded us with Brazilian flair, followed by some extra sweet after party jamming. Brian Edwards set up his projector in the Triangle room and shared some more of his classic film shorts, as well as popcorn and good conversation. What a treat! Sage Viniconis wandered through out The Building amazing everyone with his mad prestidigitation skills and making the Countess swoon. And Grace Dager took over the Analog Toy Factory Workshop as one of The Building’s guest artists and artisans that were set up throughout the hallways and in some of the open studios.
