As an artist, I use JHardestyArt.blogspot.com as a forum for my thoughts and actions in and outside of the Studio. I not only share images of completed works, but also techniques leading to those completions. Moreover, it is my desire that followers gain a better understanding and appreciation of the creative process. As I move along this journey, I am absorbing better business practices and will share those that I find beneficial.

"300 Plates"
Please Join Us at the 10th Annniversary of the 300 Plates Fundraiser and Exhibition!
Fundraiser Event:Thursday, May 17th, 6 - 9 PM
Preview: May 14 - 17 Mon. & Tues., 10 AM - 6 PM Wed. and Thurs. 10 AM - 5 PM
300 Plates is the annual Art Access fundraiser and exhibition. Now in its 10th year, this signature event presents unique artwork that is both affordable and highly collectible, created by approximately 130 established and emerging artists from the local community. Using 11 x 10 inch plates (either aluminum, galvanized steel or plexiglas), each artist prepares small works in their recognizable style. Finished plates include everything from landscape to assemblage to pop art to photographic emulsion and more. During the fundraiser and month-long exhibition the plates are hung in the Art Access Gallery, creating a kaleidoscope of one-of-a-kind artwork. This year a small selection of plates from previous years will also be on sale.
As one of the 130 artists, I have created and submitted three plates. On the plate entitled "Homage," I have actually included seven paintings in the style of seven of my favorite artists with quotes by these artists on the reverse side.
looking forward to seeing the show. Some year I hope to donate!
