I watched with curiosity, and at the end, in an instant, I wept…

It’s perhaps the simple things we artists and creatives offer that can make the biggest, and most meaningful, impact. Keep making art and finding places to express your self…Best, A.

I rarely have solo exhibits during the year. My time is usually filled with planning projects to showcase the works of other artists, or to improve the business programs I have developed with my co-facilitators for artists and creative folks. You can find my work in group shows mostly, so to be invited by Anna Todaro to exhibit this series of small assemblages and collages in her famous little gallery was an honor.
The intimacy of the space made it the perfect first place to show these small works that chronicle my life, year by year. And having a deadline, First Thursday in September, made it easy to root myself in my studio and produce the art I’d first envisioned 4 years prior [ it was then called "45" };-P ].
If you have not had a chance to visit the exhibit, I encourage you to do so while it is at The Core. The gallery is part of Anna’s studio in the Everett Station Lofts at 625 NW Everett #230. Anna’s e-mail address is anna@corepdx.com - drop her a note to arrange a time to visit the gallery.
I expect the show to be on display during October at Working Artists Studios during Open Studios as I am one of four artists in the studios chosen to paticipate in this year’s event. The others sharing this honor with me are: Kindra Crick, Sabina Haque and Julie Blackman.
Open Studio guides are available - just drop me an e-mail at a@adriennefritze.com or give me a call at 503.349.6075 to get one for yourself. It’s $15 and doubles as a 2009 calendar, showcasing the works of the 98 artists in this year’s tour.
The other place where you can see some of my more “normal” sized artworks is at the Olympic Mills building as part of the rdEVOLUTION exhibit [107 SE Washington St. Portland, OR 97214]. The building is open Mon-Fri, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The opening for the first of 3 events we’re holding as part of the rdEVOLUTION 60-day exhibition, was this past First Friday, Sept. 5th. The event was co-produced with Yelp.com and you can read the reviews on Yelp on the website by CLICKING HERE. I have 3 medium sized collages in the exhibit, and one sculpture. All are reuse, recycle, found object works. These are some of my most favorite works I’ve produced, and include:
- BLUE: Spirit
- Bright Side of a Twisted Romance
- Something Bigger
- Mr. and Mrs. Fritze
I do not yet have images of the latter three pieces, so I recommend you head over to the Olympic Mills and take a stroll through the space and check them out amongst the amazing array of work by the other 21 artists exhibiting in the show.
Details of the exhibit can be found at http://workingartistsonline.com/rdEVO - it’s an exciting show, with two more amazing events coming up - one on October 17th [ Equilibrium: the Human Mash Up - an exhibit combining art and technology; and Dis Guised: rdEVOLUTION in Motion - our version of a Halloween masquerade party. ]
I’d love to hear from you if you make to one or both of the shows and what you think - including if you’re interested in purchasing one or more of them!!! 
And I sincerely would love to see you at one of the two upcoming events.
Until next post,
A.
