Art D’Vine Gives You A Shot At Some Original GameWorden Art!

You gotta know how much I love it when the arts community comes together for an amazing event. Well tonight at the Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts, it's your chance to enjoy a doozie of a soiree at the 5th annual Art d' Vine, a wine and art celebration featuring wines and brews from the Pacific Northwest!

When I got an email a few months ago from Gayle Mosher from the Center, she asked if I'd like to participate, knowing I was an Oregon native. You gotta know some tasty Pinots will be part of the mix tonight, as well as some of the finest Oregon craft beers. Of course I accepted! Especially when she asked if I might consider making a piece of my custom GameWorden art for the auction. Here is your chance to have your favorite morning guy's artwork in your home or office! Using the the event theme as inspiration, I created one of my "guitART" pieces that can hang handsomely on your wall! Basically, I find beat up acoustic guitars at thrift stores and use them as a canvas. Instead of paint however, I use foils from the necks of wine bottles. I reverse-emboss words that follow a theme for each guitART, and affix the foils to the guitar with an industrial staple gun! Crazy huh? The effect is cool though (at least I hope YOU think so), as it has a look of a unique metal quilt. The theme of this piece is...what else?...WINE!

Art d'Vine gets underway tonight with the Sponsor's Reception at 6:00pm at the center. 110 W. Finney Ave. in downtown Suffolk. The Wine Celebration and Silent Auction begins at 7pm and the Live Auction is at 8:30pm. I hope these pictures do the art justice and give you just a glimpse of the fun in store tonight at the Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts.

If you are spending time in Suffolk this weekend for Peanut Festival, begin your time with Art d'Vine!

Cheers!
