Saturday, May 22, 11 - 3 pm (limited # artists open)

Jason Messinger and other resident artists invite the public to the
Cornelia Arts Building May Open House,
on Friday, May 21, from 6 to 10 pm
featuring the artwork of over 35 artist and artisan in their own working studios. Artwork is for sale and includes paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, print making, ceramics, mixed media, apparel, and jewelry. Open House events are a great opportunity to engage with artists in their working studios and view up-and-coming talent as well as more established arts professionals. Convenient to the CTA - two blocks from Brown Line Addison stop. Free parking is available in front of building and near by.

An additional special feature of this building-wide open-house event is
"Urbs in Horto" - local artists inspired by the City in a Garden
a curated hallway exhibit featuring resident artists' interpretation of the City of Chicago's official Latin motto. This first floor hallway show of paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, and other artwork leads into two full floors of artists in their working art studios.

Additionally, Jason Messinger inaugurates his new "Featured Guest Artist" spot with local celebrity artist Joey Wozniak, who's oil paintings have been a draw for many of Mr. Messinger's curated art shows, including the highly celebrated Crazy 8 show. Joey Wozniak will be showing new oil paintings in his signature style using thickly-applied and scrapped paints in combination with hand-stenciled imagery.

Jason Messinger will be showing new original tile murals. All tiles are available individually, rather than only as larger sets, repeating the great success of his recent solo show at the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts. Besides new art tiles, the artist is introducing new modestly priced gifts, including new playing card sets, postage stamps, and posters.

4Culture Artist Registry

2009-05-10T10:47:00.005-05:00

Jason Messinger has selected to be part of a new venture by 4Culture.org, a non-profit organization based in Seattle, WA, dedicated to public arts, heritage, and preservation.
The 4Culture ARTIST REGISTRY is a comprehensive source of pre-qualified artists prepared to realize both public and private commissions. Juried by a panel of peer professionals, each artist's work meets rigorous standards of quality and expertise.

"Artists bring unique skills to the process of building and help us create vibrant, inviting places that resonate with meaning. Just as your building projects are diverse and wide-ranging, so are the processes by which different artists work. To reflect this, the REGISTRY is organized into three categories: PARTS, SITES and PLANS.
Rely on PARTS to implement small-scale projects, SITES for large-scale, wholly integrated works, and PLANS when you require art integration services. Each category presents artists who apply creative problem solving in ways that immediately enrich, challenge, and excite. With over 3,000 images, ARTIST REGISTRY VOLUME VI is one of the only web publications of such magnitude in the industry. Think of it as a collective, user-friendly portfolio that you can access whenever you wish. Here, you will find the right artist to help you to transform space into an authentic and fully realized artistic vision."

Jason Messinger was selected and curated into the PARTS section.
See his page here, where six of his projects are detailed:
