ART ROCKS

In celebration of the Arts and University Heights 120th anniversary, artists will turn large river rocks (which are the neighborhoods signature building element) into works of art to be displayed at September’s 3rd annual UH ARTS OPEN.  The smooth river stones are a symbol and a ubiquitous architectural feature of University Heights and make a fitting natural canvas or unique medium for the creativity and variety of artists.

The ART ROCKS!  art pieces will make their first public appearance on the August 15th  preview party at Swedenborg Hall along with other representative pieces of participating artists.   The ART ROCKS! project is intended as a fund raiser for University Heights 2008 Arts OPEN,  and so UHAA will cheerfully accept any free-will donation from contributing artists. 

Artists chosen for ArtRocks 2008 are Amber Pierce, Brandie Maddalena, Carolyn Butler, d. goth, Dark Vomit, Diana Fowler, Duke Windsor, Jo Caldwell, Josie Rodriguez, Kaja Laustsen, Mario Torero, Matt Spangler, Midge Hyde, Patti Fox, Ricardo Vela, Sherry Krulle-Beaton, and Weston Riffle.

Live music by Korrie Paliotto and artwork exhibitions from participating UH Arts Open 2008 artists.
