Free Art Friday: Giving Back to Your Community

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on August 29, 2015 Respond

Giving Back to Your Community by Stephanie Galloway

Giving Back to the CommunityThere are many ways that our community nourishes us and helps us grow. Our community provides public services that we benefit from utilizing in addition to having spaces for us to enjoy our leisure time in.

Sharing your art with someone in these spaces is a way of giving back and honoring them by further enhancing and highlighting the positive uses of the public areas. Showing that we as Giving Back to the Communitycommunity members are taking something and making the most of it sends a message that we are thankful for having these places and want to be part of helping to improve the quality of life of those around us as well.

The act of sharing your art with someone in a public space continues the cycle of giving to keep it going strong! Feel the joy of art, pass it on! Check out Free Art Friday and Free Art Friday Albuquerque for more info about sharing art in your area.

Free Art Friday: Art Adventures

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on August 7, 2015 Respond

Art AdventureMost people tune out their surroundings when they are walking out in the city and disconnect from the environment around them.  When someone puts out art for people to find and observe it helps to bring that attention back and also brings into focus an eye for art-ifacts.

When people check in on the Free Art Friday Albuquerque facebook page to find visual clues where to find the art they can then go on the search for art and become an Artiologist! This process is interactive so the art finder becomes part of the Art Adventureprocess too! The excitement of being on an art mission to find creative treasure is sure to make anyone feel like an Art Explorer! So often art is experienced just by going into a gallery and looking at it on a wall where they can’t touch it or interact with it.

A big and important part of the Free Art Friday experience is people getting to interact with the art. When someone can pick up and hold the art that they may or may not want to take home they get a chance to feel the art and get more of their senses involved in the process. The thrill of an art hunt is sure to bring joy to at any age! Now is your chance, let your love of art be your guide!

Free Art Friday: Unique Offerings

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on July 3, 2015 Respond

Unique Offerings by Stephanie Galloway

One of my visions when I started Free Art Friday Albuquerque is to have a diverse range of arts included in the art sharing. There are many possibilities when it comes to giving art for Free Art Friday! It is not limited to a painting or drawing but may also can included music, poetry, Unique Offerings by Stephanie Gallowaysculpture and other forms of art, basically any piece of art that can be easily taken by the finder without damaging the space it is placed in.

I would like to see more kinds of art shared for Free Art Friday so as a challenge to myself for the next Free Art Friday I will be putting out some art in town that is not a painting or drawing. I also feel this idea will also help me to think more creatively by taking me out of my usual art medium.

I hope this will inspire others to think outside of the art box when think about their creative endeavors and the wonder talents inside everyone yet to be discovered!

Free Art Friday: Positivity

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on May 28, 2015 Respond

By Stephanie Galloway

PositivityFree Art Friday is upon us and art is in the air! As a participating artist in Free Art Friday Albuquerque I often try to imagine what it is like to find a piece of art on Free Art Friday. In the busy life of rushing that most people live finding a piece of art is something that makes one pause and contemplate creativity and in the shifting of attention from our normal routine we start noticing other new things in our path that we had been missing.

So in a way the art of Free Art Friday helps to cultivate our attention it the details in life that we did not seem to notice before.  That shift of focus from the norm could be the very spark of inspiration that is needed to start a flow of creativity that expands our personal world and helps pave creative pathways that could lead us to places we would have never found Positivityotherwise. Imagine being on your way to work  or having a bad day when all of a sudden seemingly out of nowhere you see a  piece of art that chose you to be its owner, that can make you feel  special and change the tone of your whole day.

The artists and art of Free Art Friday create that kind of magic for people allowing us to be part of something bigger then ourselves by engaging in positivity!  So please consider participating in Free Art Friday Albuquerque!  You are all artists and your art makes a positive difference in your community and beyond!

The Children’s Zone promises to rock the socks off of the small feet of your little ones! Leading our Cinco de Mayo celebration is Copper Enamel Artists David Snow, who will be leading the kids in Maraca making. Bring your kiddo-artists to craft an amazing instrument from recycled materials!

In the Art Zone, Jane Malone will be demoing her Dia de los Muertos inspired art to one and all. Jane is native to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and as such she has been steeped in the art and culture of the Southwest. She earned my degree at The Art Center Design College (back when it was still AC/DC), specializing in graphic design and illustration.

“My illustrations are done in inks and resin on canvas. They’re all handmade and one-of-a-kind originals. I will use any media, but I have a special love for inks. I use Sharpie, Bic, Marks-A-Lot, Speed ball and India, as well as mixing a lot of my own pigments. The resin is an aqueous resin with a UV protectant, as I’m always trying to keep the original ‘wet’ ink sheen. To set the resin I use a blow torch, so all of the pieces are tested-by-fire before they’re cured. It’s a beautiful way to bring the bubbles out of resin, and I get to use a blow torch.”

Entertainment

Continuing with their theme, entertainers include singers, dancers and musicians:

Please click here for ABQ Guitar Lessons very own Jacob Reinhardt’s “The Rail Yards Notes” article for more in-depth coverage and a multimedia sample of the Entertainers for this week!

Community

With the goal of increasing diversity and reaching out into the community/neighborhood(s) they have brought on board a Community Outreach Coordinator to communicate more closely with the surrounding neighborhoods residents and the city at-large. If you are interested in volunteering please contact them at RYMvolunteers@gmail.com

holding handsThe RYM will be accepting WIC/SNAP and participating in the Double-Up Food bucks program. If you are interested in participating as a vendor/partner/sponsor at the RYM please click here.

The Rail Yards Market is more than just a market. Their responsibility is to you all, residents of Albuquerque and beyond. The community helped us get started and keep it going. Together a more vibrant place to work and play in. See you Sunday. All Aboard!
