Carolyn Anderson – Painting Reality/Figurative & Portrait
Four day workshop -$500 for members, $550 for non-members
Learning to see and interpret reality, with an emphasis on expressive painting, will be the subject of this workshop. We will discuss composition, value, color, contrast, and the use of lost and found edges while paying particular attention to the importance of seeing and learning how to respond to and evaluate information. The ability to see and paint what one is seeing is important, but it is the interpretation which results in an interesting and sensitive painting. Live models will be the principal subject matter.

Exhibiting in the Hoosier Salon Gallery
Are You Ready to Have Work in a Featured Exhibition in the Hoosier Salon Gallery?
Many artists wonder how to arrange to have a show in the Hoosier Salon Gallery in Indianapolis. (This not the same as our annual exhibition held at the Indiana State Museum.) As most of our member artists know, aside from the “art on commission” rooms, we also have featured exhibitions. Although one show a year is a theme show when members are invited to bring work to exhibit in a group show, the rest of the exhibits are for works of art by artists we’d like to highlight.
While it’s an honor to be among those in the featured exhibit area, it requires a good deal of thought. First of all, a proposal needs to be submitted. The proposal needs to include the following:
Specific contact information for the artist submitting the proposal,
An idea for a theme, “Paintings of Dancers” is not nearly as fascinating as “Drawn to Dance.” Experience tells us that people will not come to a view a show of work that lists just the name of the artists.
A list of other artists you’d like to include. We don’t do one-person shows anymore. Two to six artists work very well but we’ve booked 15 or more for a group show. If you don’t have suggestions, say so. We have a plethora of artists that we might suggest.
Tell us why it would be a good exhibit, is it something we haven’t done in a while or ever? Is it unique? Is it something the public might be curious about?
Send some images of the work you’d like to exhibit, digital images or slides are fine. Six different images are great or tell us how we can view your work.
Submit your request to: Hoosier Salon, 714 East 65th Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46220.
The Hoosier Salon will send out approximately 1000 postcards, create a press release, call patron members that we KNOW are interested in your style of art and design and hang the exhibit.
Finally, you and the Hoosier Salon will sign a contract this secures the dates and both parties can prepare for the show. Remember, putting on a show is a partnership effort. The staff and board work hard for you. Don’t forget that the organization needs your active involvement as well. Tell your friends and neighbors.
We look forward to hearing from you!
