Of Note…(small and note-like news you might find scrawled to you on a piece of paper from a loved one in the morning)
Just wanted to flag for all you illustration-obsessed humans that l’Atelier Circulaire’s annual print sale that runs through most of December, Prêt à emporter III begins in a week and a half.
I went last year and it was pretty mind-blowing, as it offers over 300 works from printmakers of all different walks of life and level of skill. Nothing is priced over $100 and I actually got an amazing print for $40 that still draws little gasps from my awed and inspired mouth everytime I look at it.
Depending on your level of interest, this event could either challenge you (like dance does for me) or make you feel like you are in some sort of surreal afterlife as you walk into a wall-to-wall land full of tiny scratches, ink marks, cross-hatchings….
What’s more, Galerie Circulaire is a really, really cool place that you should find more about. One day I will have the time to take one of the courses they offer there, or sit on the sofa and stare at the wall in the studio, slowly eating 1 dorito (sweet chili heat, our sponsor) for 14 weeks straight as an endurance piece.
The sale has an opening, on Friday the 5th of December from 5:30-9pm, but it goes until the 20th.
Galerie Circulaire is open Wednesday-Saturday from 12-5pm.
