  • Green at Columbia Art League April 25, 2013Green, Columbia Art League’s new show, is the last in a series of color-themed exhibits. Initial feedback on the show is extremely positive–I’ve heard that this is the best of the color shows from several people. Green is not my favorite color outside of nature, but I did find something that needed to come home ...
  • December show at PS Gallery December 4, 2012I attended the opening reception of the latest show at the Perlow-Stevens Gallery with the intention of finding one exhibiting artist to highlight and interview. It immediately became obvious that I would not be able to choose just one. The current show is so varied–so abundant–that I have to share it all.* I became intrigued with Ginny Herzog‘s ...

  • CoMo Art: Sparky’s Totally Awesome Collection May 4, 2012I knew of Sparky’s Homemade Ice Cream before I moved to Columbia (thanks to the great cicada ice cream coverage of 2011), but I didn’t know of the art. Due to the great misfortune of a diet that is supposed to be dairy-free, it took me a long time to discover the treasure that is Sparky’s art ...
  • CoMo Art: Blue Opening at CAL April 28, 2012I headed out to the opening reception for Blue, the latest exhibit at Columbia Art League, with a little apprehension. I’m very sensitive to color and feared that the show would be full of works that would make me feel sad or cold. Those fears were dashed immediately: This show is full of lightness and ...

  • CoMo Weekend: 12/2-4 December 2, 2011 The holiday season gets started officially here in Columbia this weekend and there’s a lot to do all over town, most of it for free. However, before you go out, watch this informative video from Columbia Access Television: Friday the 2nd Columbia College’s 15th Annual Lighting ceremony on Bass Commons; 4:45 PM (FREE) – Looking for something festive ...
  • CoMo Art: The Larry Show June 1, 2011 If you have a chance to stop by the George Caleb Bingham Gallery in the art building on the corner of Hitt and University, make sure you do so. What I really meant to say is – Plan to stop by and see the Larry Show. It runs until August 25th when they will hold a ...
  • CoMo Gallery Tour: Perlow-Stevens Gallery March 2, 2011 The Perlow-Stevens Gallery just relocated from Broadway to their new, larger location at 1025 E. Walnut. Their grand-opening event was on Saturday, February 26th, so I dropped by to see the new space. PS: Gallery is owned by Jennifer Perlow and Chris Stevens and first opened in July 2006. The building on Broadway was sold and ...
