We had so much fun teaching the wonderful young & adult artists enjoying the Grande Illumination! After spending a whole month preparing for the crayon mosaic project we shockingly have very little left over! Everyone really enjoyed bringing their favorite Christmas designs to life through this fun creative activity. It's been a pleasure to serve the Dayton community for the many years we have participated in this event. We can't wait to spread creativity even more next year! Downtown Dayton

Greeting Artist Friends! I wanted to invite you all out to the 2014 Art Off Competition at K12 Gallery & TEJAS. I hope some of you are interested in participating this year!

As you may know, The Art Off is a "Iron-Chef" Style painting competition. Artists have up to 50 minutes to create a painting based around a theme. There are three battles each night.

Round 1 is October 3 with the theme of Organic Matter.

Round 2 is October24 with the theme of Future New

Each Round will consist of three 50 minute battles (7:00-7:50, 8:00-8:50 and 9:00-9:50).

Three winners will be selected from each round, each night to continue to compete in the final round during our Fundraiser, Nov. 14. The top three winners from the final night will receive cash prizes and of course a "knot award", a hand forged metal sculpture created by Dayton artist Hamilton Dixon. First place will receive $500, second place $250 and "People's Choice" $100.

The fee is $15 to participate (covers the cost of materials and cash prizes for the top three winners).

Please let me know if you are interested in participating (email: [email protected]) or you can register at www.tejasgallery.org

PS- Feel free to come out during the ART OFF even if you don't participate- We'll have food trucks, DJ Jay Madewell spinning music, beer & wine and the spectacle of live painting

“K12’s programs inspire young people to imagine, create and grow together by building self-esteem and creativity while providing a practical sense of art appreciation and value in the community.
