Hungry for cartoons? MSCA Dinner Meetings 1st Thursday of each month!

Lin — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 19:12:10 +0000

The next MSCA Monthly Dinner Meeting is this Thursday, December 1st at the U of M Garibaldi’s Pizza on Walker Avenue near Highland and Southern. Dinner meetings start at 7PM and run until 9-10PM, or until Garibaldi’s employees start turning off lights on us and locking up! Guest speakers usually start around 8pm.

This month we’ll be discussing upcoming art show opportunities for MSCA members, current member projects, self-publishing comics, the cancellation of the MSCA Sat-Art-Days at Comic Cellar and more.

Dinner meetings are free and open to the public, but be sure to bring a few bucks to order off the menu- you’ll be glad you did! Great pizza, salads, sandwiches, and beverages to be had.

Spontaneous cartooning on napkins, sketchbooks and other drawing surfaces have been known to happen during dinner meetings so sure to bring something to draw with and/or on.

Don’t be shy- bring some of your work to show to others at the meetings. We’d love to see what you’ve been working on.

Next dinner meeting will be January 5th, 2012. We’ll be discussing the upcoming MSCA art show at the DeSoto Arts Council’s Art House in February 2012.

Hope to see you there.

Broad Avenue Holiday Art Walk

Historic Broad Avenue Arts District hosts its first holiday-themed Art Walk on Friday, December 4.

From 6 – 9 p.m., broaden your holiday gift options by visiting the art studios, galleries and businesses in the Broad Avenue Arts District. Works by more than twenty local and national-based artists are featured.

To assist art enthusiasts with their holiday shopping, many of the artists have created gift-sized works of original art. Odessa (2613 Broad) features a floating installation “Fa la la” where the artwork will be hanging from the ceiling like snowflakes. T Clifton Art’s “Holiday Artstravaganza” (2571 Broad) continues the theme with works in mezzo fresco, enamel, acrylic and sculpture.

MetalWorks (2537 Broad) celebrates the grand opening of their retail gallery space. At Splash Creative (2574 Sam Cooper Blvd), the Memphis Area Women’s Council benefits from sales of t-shirt artwork by local Domestic Violence survivors. Wilmot Originals (1615 Broad) and Studio 2557 (2557 Broad) also will be open.

George Hunt strolls over from South Main and joins the district for a special one-night show at West Memorials (2481 Broad) entitled “Blues on Broad.” There will be a blues band and refreshments available.

Also joining in on the festivities for the evening is Lisa Williamson with an exhibit regarding the Junkyard Museum and it’s summer camp featuring Donald Knaack – The Junkman and his junk band performances.

The walk occurs in the area bounded by Sam Cooper Boulevard and Broad Avenue, between Hollywood and Collins Streets. In addition, participants can enjoy oyster and drink specials at The Cove (2559 Broad) and Broadway Pizza’s signature Around the World pizza (2581 Broad).
