Artisans' Collective

The new Artisans' Collective space is just fabulous!!!

Artisans' Collective is located on Davis, next to the original Gloria's (and caddy-corner to the best fajita tacos and helotes in Oak Cliff).

The interior spaces are nicely laid out and the lighting makes all of the art glow. As of Saturday night, the following OCA folks had work in the gallery:

Carl Spoto
Susie Moody
Randy Adams
Valery Guignon
Carla Weir
Larry Pile
Sharon Penner
Reid Barnhart
Darrel Madis
Nancy Thompson

Gosh, I hope I've not left anyone out.

We understand that the Grand Opening is next Saturday. Please, please, please tell your friends, other artists, etc. This gallery deserves to make it onto the art-world map! And come Saturday night...show the world that the Broadnax show isn't the only game in town!

The Uptown Urban Bazaar - Handmade Holidays

Handmade Items in High Fashion are all the rage this holiday season. Giving that one of a kind gift to those you care about (or pretend to, this time of year) speaks volumes about your fashion sense, but with all the office parties and eggnog enlightened caroling events scheduled in your pda, who has time!

Well Make (2632 Thomas Avenue 214-256-3061)in Uptown has organized the perfect shopping solution; The Uptown Urban Bazaar, featuring more than 16 local designers, artisans, crafters and makers (including Oak Cliff Artisan Abby Wood) will begin this Friday at 4pm.

They realize that this might be the night you have to see Suzy’s table top appearance, revisited from last year, so they have decided to host this cooperative DIY showcase until the 20th of December. With local designers bringing new options for holiday gifting, you can choose from your favorites in handmade jewelry, clothing, furniture, pillows, pet wear, handbags, home décor and more.
