Start September's First Thursday with Arts at the Atrium Gallery reception for Gunther Cartwright's Industrial Blues.

Light refreshments will be served at 4:00pm and the Atrium Gallery will be open until 6:00 pm.
The artist will be attending the reception and his artwork will be on display in the Atrium Gallery until September 18.
The Atrium Gallery is located on the first floor of the Art and Journalism building at Ball State University.

Gunther Cartwright's photography has been described as "powerful images of the structural elements of bridges, buildings, highways, fences and storage containers examine the formal relationships of line, form and color in the industrial landscape." This exhibition features Cartwright's artwork that "like the American Precisionists of the 1920's clarifies the geometrical structures of the machine age and provides us with a crisp new perspective of our contemporary industrial culture."

Come one, come all, to my 12-hour ART ATTACK!

The goal:
One massive, collaborative piece of art, created within 12 hours and only 12 hours!

The method:
I will have a table in the Atrium between the hours of 7 and 7 on Friday, December 3rd, with a massive roll of butcher block, pencils, etc.

You will stop by at some point during the day, shrug off the aches and pains of a stressful year, and pour your heart into 5 minutes or 5 hours of drawing! You can just stop in for a second, or you can get a whole bunch of your friends together and stop on by with every crayon, marker, pen and pencil that you can get your hands on!

Your choice!

Sincerely,
~Brian Bauman
