Picasso passed away 41 years ago this past Tuesday, but his influence remains, one of the three or four most influential artists of the twentieth century. A painter, sculptor, ceramicist, printmaker, poet and playwright -- he did it all, and always with his unique fingerprint. He was always trying new things and never settled permanently on a singular trademarked style. The quote above really does say it all. In the beginning he learned the techniques of the Masters. Then took that knowledge in new, innovative directions, opening new possibilities for art in the most fluid century in history up to his point in time, an era of change.
Here are some noteworthy art happenings in the Twin Ports the next few days.
TONIGHT
Girls Night Out..... SHOP AND PARTY featuring Art in the Alley and Black Water Lounge.
5-7 p.m. Details HERE.
Mayor Ness said he may avoid the opening, but he's undoubtedly curious. Since the two events are across the street from each other, you might as well just stay downtown. The appetizers are wonderful at Blackwater, as well as Zeitgeist. My mouth is already watering.
7-9 p.m. Details HERE

And if you haven't seen Ken Marunowski's latest work, it's worth going out of your way to see. Head to Beaners sometime during the month of April, grab a cup of java and enjoy.
Meantime, art goes on all around you. Engage it.
PS: One more reminder about our Call for Art for Red Mug Show in May featuring art inspired by Bob Dylan. Details HERE
