RECEPTION TIME!!!!!

Friggin snowstorm delayed the opening reception for Poetic Aesthetic yesterday... But, that was then and this is now. The party is back on today at 5 at TAG (2202 Art-Sociology Bldg, UMDCP, College Park, MD 20742). Be there or be square. And "square" is code for free food and drinks, amazing art, and a limited edition poster sale with prices that start at 20 bucks. I'll let you decide...

Snow Day, Shmow Day

Due to the fact that UMD is closed for the day, TAG thinks its a good idea to reschedule the opening reception for tomorrow, Friday January 28, 2011 at 5 pm. See you there!!!!!!!!

Just in Case You're Still on the Fence about Thursday...

Here are some gallery shots of TAG's latest exhibition "Poetic Aesthetic: An Exploration of Creativity in Poetry and Visual Art". They look good, huh? See these works and many more in person this Thursday at our Opening Reception. Food. Art. Poetry. Fun. I can't think of a better way to relax and get ready for the weekend. Hope to see you there!

T-minus 6 Days, People!!!

Things are busy around TAG at the moment. Waaaay busy. But no worries, we can handle it. The art in the show is too cool to keep to ourselves anyway. Be here on Thursday, Jan. 27 @ 5 pm for the opening reception for Poetic Aesthetic: An Exploration of Creativity in Poetry and Visual Art. The par-tay will last till 8 pm. Big shoutout to Roots Market in Olney, MD for supporting the shindig for the show with tasty food. Another two big shououts to UMD's Department of English AND Daedalus Books and Music in Baltimore, MD for supporting Poetic Aesthetic.

Don't Call It a Comeback....

Photos from last night's Curator's Talk!!!

Boy, was last night a blast. Heyd Fontenot, Jonathan Walz, and Anne Goodyear had an awesome discussion about works in "The Very Queer Portraits of Heyd Fonetenot" AND lead an informative Q & A with the audience. Everyone left with a new understanding of what's really queer in Heyd's art. Big thanks to Heyd, Jonathan, and Anne AND everyone that came out to support!!! Enjoy the pics!

CURATOR'S TALK TOMORROW @ 6:30!!!

The Art Gallery is super happy to invite you (and ALL your friends!) to "The Queerest of Discussions: A Curator's Talk with Heyd Fontenot and Anne Goodyear"
