Next Art Walk - Saturday, October 3, 2009

painting of an old gas station by Cody DeLong

Cody DeLong will be one of just 20 artists from across the country invited to participate in the Celebration of Art at the Grand Canyon later in September, and he has been invited back for a fifth straight year to the Sedona Plein Air Festival in October. His painting “Ten Cents a Gallon” depicts the gas pump in front of his gallery in Jerome.

Jerome Art Walk continues its momentum with its first Saturday celebration of art. Thirty galleries and studios will be open from 5:00 to 8:00 PM with art, music and refreshments. This free event has become a Verde Valley favorite with a shuttle that will transport you from the artist filled Old Jerome High School, up to the highest level of town with new gallery Joojart and everything in-between.

Seeing new artists emerging is one of Raku Gallery’s most satisfying aspects. This month, the gallery announces the arrival of jeweler Sue Savage. Her work is very unique. Using polymer clay in the mokume gane technique she creates fabulous works of wearable art. There is new art from stone sculptor Daniel Newman whose work ranges from abstract to semi realism. Rickard has come up with a fantastic grid system of one-of-a-kind “Art Squared” that allows you to be part of the creative process in designing your personal wall art. Don’t miss the glassblowing demos in the studio behind the gallery featuring Tracy Weisel.

Kee To Fine Art, located at The Merchants Gathering, is featuring artist Nicola Perilli, a native Florentine and a dear friend. Nicola helped restore frescoes in Florentine cloisters and oils on wood damaged by the Florence flood of 1966. Nicola's current nonobjective compositions engage the observer through the balancing of masses and voids, shapes and incisions and forms that vacillate. Above all, his intent is to peek the viewer’s curiosity, making them second-guess what materials are used. He purposely creates these metallic illusions with hardly any metal at all. In addition to Nicola's art, Kee to Fine Art continues to host southwestern photography by Tom Narwid, and original Navajo art by R. Eric Kee.

Cody DeLong will be celebrating the official Grand Opening of the new Cody DeLong Studio during the September Art Walk. Stop in for refreshments and the music of Dave Rentz. Cody has been selling his art in Jerome for over a decade now. His newly remodeled Studio is at 300 Hull Ave. Suite 1, inside the ‘Merchants Gathering’. It’s the building with the old gas pump out front. www.codydelong.com . 928-300-4576

Jerome's Jewelry has a fabulous selection of custom created jewelry. Jewelry Artist Rick Hernandez and his 18-year-old son Ricky have been hard at work creating a unique line of custom 14k gold and sterling silver jewelry. They will be featuring an exquisite collection of Drusy Quartz with accent stones of Amethyst and Mystic Topaz, inlaid Australian Opal jewelry. Jerome’s Jewelry is located at – 114 Jerome Ave.

It's an early harvest at the Janie Layers Studio in the Old Jerome High School. Clay animals reaping what they sowed are on display for your critique. Fruits and vegetables abound in a large still-life oil painting. Come by and sample the abundance of the soil!

Join the folks at Aurum Jewelry, featuring local artists of national renown, including Margaret Thede, Tana Acton, and Ron Haggerty. The best of the South West for 25 years… Come in for a drink and tapas, and qualify to win a piece by guest artist Noah Pfeffer.

The Spirit Art Gallery will be featuring Prescott artist Susan Congdon. Susan is a visionary artist with a passion for spirit and nature. Another facet of her creativity is Western and Native American subjects. Oil is her medium. Susan studied at Mission Renaissance Art School, Otis and the Art Center in Pasadena. In 1998, she moved to Arizona, where she continued her studies at Scottsdale Artist’s School.

Altai Leather has recently come up with a few new purse designs that are created for traveling safety, made with enclosed zippers. Hand crafted handbags in beautiful bright colors are perfectly suited for the fall season along with briefcases, wallets and belts.

Pura Vida Gallery celebrates the kickoff to scarf season during the September 5th Jerome Art Walk. Featured artist Debra Street will be debuting her new fall line of her hand-painted silk scarves. Brilliant jewel tones and subtle desert colors are just two of this fall's new color schemes. Join Pura Vida for champagne and delicious chocolates from 5-8pm on September 5th.

Derryl Day is excited about life and has four new paintings to prove it. Stop in at his studio located at the Old Jerome High School. You will also find Sally Murphy’s delightful tree paintings as well as Vicki Day's beautiful fiber art including her gorgeous hand dyed creations.

Alan Bur Johnson has won the Erni Cabat award at The Tucson Biennial. His stark studio at The Old Jerome High School is an inspirational space with examples of work in progress as well as completed installations.

Gallery 527 will be hosting another great party with music by Ty Eaton and the photography of owners Ken and Donna Chesler. They will be showing three images, all shot from exactly the same spot but all surprisingly different.
