“Soldier, at Ease” at Houston Center for Photography through January 6

In Art, JBC Client on November 17, 2012 at 4:13 pm

Garmsir MarinesHOUSTON, TX - Houston Center for Photography is proud to present the exhibition, Soldier, at Ease. Through the work of Tim Hetherington, Louie Palu, and Erin Trieb, this exhibition looks at how active soldiers spend their private time “at ease,” while they are off duty, and also after they return home. Photographs and videos by these three photographers, as well as images created by active duty soldiers themselves, illustrate a more personal experience of the solder as an individual.

The exhibition directly coincides with the encyclopedic exhibition WAR/PHOTOGRAPHY: Images of Armed Conflict and Its Aftermath presented by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, which also includes work by Hetherington, Palu, and Trieb. HCP’s exhibition is on view through January 6, 2013 and is organized by Executive Director Bevin Bering Dubrowski, Curator Libbie J. Masterson, and the HCP Exhibitions Committee.

In Art on March 30, 2011 at 4:30 pm

After the recent tragedies in Japan, many people have wondered what they can do to help out with relief efforts other than just donate to the Red Cross. Enter Houston Artists for Japan, a group of local visual artists who on Saturday April 2 will be holding a fine art sale and fundraiser at Winter Street Studios, and will be donating 100% of the sales of their work to the relief efforts in Japan. Many of the participating artists have close ties with Japan, having grown up, studied, lived or traveled there – and all have been inspired by its culture and beauty.

Over 20 artists will have their work for sale, ranging from ceramics and pottery to printmaking, paintings and photography.Many of the artists will have pieces for sale for as little as $5 – well worth the donation. Gallery space provided by Winter Street Studios, drinks will be generously donated by Spacetaker. Read the rest of this entry »

In Fundraising on March 11, 2011 at 2:20 pm

While JBC won’t be kickin’ it at SXSW this year (I know, we’re sad too), we were lucky enough to attend a workshop last night at Spacetaker’s Artist Resource Center featuring representatives from two cutting-edge organizations leading the way in fundraising assistance for artists and small businesses alike – IndieGoGo and Fractured Atlas – before they made their way to present and party in Austin the next few days.

Needless to say, we were thoroughly impressed by what they have to offer.
