Join us on Saturday, January 12, 2019 for the 11th Anniversary Medici Circle 5x7 Art Scholarship Fundraiser - Where the Wild Beasts Art! at the McKenzie-Merket Alumni Center on the Texas Tech campus.

Known as one of the most raucous parties of the year, this costume (optional) event brings festive art lovers together annually for food, wine, fun and art to support School of Art scholarships.

Each year an art movement or style from the past informs the evening's theme including the décor, the meal, and most especially as the guest costume theme (which is entirely optional).

This year's theme celebrates the wildly fun and colorful art of Fauvism made famous by French artist practitioners – Henri Matisse, Georges Rouault, André Derain and others. They were called "wild beasts" for their vibrant use of color and expressive form. The Fauve's vibrant color has been combined with the wonderfully playful creatures from Maurice Sendak's, Where the Wild Things Are to create this year's theme.

Very excited to volunteer as a photographer with The AIGA West Texas Future Chapter for Design to participate in Help-Portrait Lubbock this Saturday!

Event Timing: Saturday, December 1, 2018
10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Event Address: LHUCA Warehouse, 602 Texas Ave., Lubbock, TX 79401

The goal of Help-Portrait is to find people in need, take their picture, print their picture and then deliver it—free of charge. Help-Portrait is about GIVING the pictures, not taking them. These portraits aren’t for a portfolio, website, or sale. It’s about giving people who otherwise couldn’t afford photography, a chance to capture a moment, a memory…and a whole lot more.

For First Friday Art Trail, Studio 4 features letterpress posters for Beto; all donations (sliding scale) go directly to the campaign!

Also featuring photography by VMBEE, & theatre by The Burkhalter Players!

XOXO

“To describe my work would be to say that it is both a search and a self-healing effort. Moreover, it is the navigation of the mother and child relationship existing under the umbrella of autism spectrum disorder, a disorder that entails curious characteristics. These include communication barriers, social deficits, obsessively repetitive actions, steadfast meltdowns, periods of erratic sleep and wandering scares. Inevitably these result in relentless tests to the human spirit that begin to materialize as personal narrative within large paintings, embroidery works and small-scale paintings.”

Kelly Reyna was born and raised in Lubbock, Texas. She holds an BFA in Studio Art/Painting from Texas Tech University, that she received in 2011. In 2015, Reyna attended two residencies through Plymouth University - Transart Institute, in Berlin and in New York. She is currently in the second year of the Masters of Fine Arts program at Texas Tech University.

Growth of a Foreign Entity is a collaboration between Kyla Culbertson and Nate Collins. Kyla creates alien-like ceramic objects, and places them in real and fake environments. Nathan then photographs them, and digitally manipulates the forms through content aware. They place the ceramics and photographs together in order to construct a new reality for the foreign entities, continuing the growth and production of them. Their collaboration is an exploration in creating a fun and experimental space to navigate.

&, STUDIO 4 = AMAZINGNESS FFAT!! ✨✨✨ here’s a detail of one of the brilliant collaborative artworks by Kyla Culbertson & Nate Collins, from FFAT AT STUDIO 4: Growth of a Foreign Entity on exhibit! the Jacob Nalle Music jazz ensemble moved people all-night & was so lovely, Adam Nicholas Mulsow SOLD OUT of his West Texas tees & tanks, Flatland Records rocked it selling vinyl & talking music & more, Texas Tech University School of Art print club ran an awesome table of fresh ink, & all-around good vibes & love from so many!

lead by the amazing Paul Allen Hunton, private screening hosted at Studio 4

“Fun fact: Director Louis Malle was only 24 when he made this film.

Fun fact 2: We'll do French things like eat cheese and drink wine.

Fun fact 3: One of Malle's friends suggested he go talk to Miles Davis who was in town for a performance about scoring the film. After a brief conversation and story overview Miles and his musicians IMPROVISED the whole score as they watched the film.

Fun fact 4: Jeanne Moreau was an incredible French actor and absolutely beautiful(her beauty is irrelevant to her skills or person however pertinent for this anecdote). Louis Malle insisted on filming her without makeup and because of that the film processing house REFUSED to make a print of the movie, out of fear of showing her without makeup! Louis Malle talked them into it and his decision was correct, she bares her soul magnificently in a raw and powerful performance. Can't wait to share this movie with you all!!!”

live music, vinyls,
