Tomas and Drennan Side by Side Friday, March 8

Ashton_eVite_030813by Erica Guajardo

When you own a gallery on Dragon Street, you don’t necessarily show your own artwork as a feature exhibition.  Generally the rule of thumb is to present artist in the space, so that you have a collection of works that differ but remain cohesive.  As two gallery owners on Dragon Street ponder this concept, they decided the best thing to do was to collaborate on an art show which feature them as artist.  The Cohn Drennan Contemporary’s owner Cathy Drennan and Mary Tomás owner of the Mary Tomás Gallery have collaborated together to create a show which features each owners works as painters.   Continue reading

Want to Stay Active in Your Art Community?

artistby Erica Guajardo

As an artist, one of the hardest things to do is get your artwork viewed by the public.  It seems that there is much anxiety associated with “Where and How to start?”  As a fellow artist myself, I found that it took someone inviting me to join a group of locals in order to  get established.  Although this seems like a simple idea, not all creative individuals know someone that is willing to show us the way.

Recently I was searching through the Facebook Group Page Dallas Art Openings, a group designed to announce art shows that are taking place around Dallas.   During this search I found an individual posting “…I’ve come to find myself wanting to join an art career…How could I start myself?”  This awakened a self-guided principle idea to help share with inspiring artists a way for them to get active and help grow their talents.  Below you will find three art groups, which are FREE to join and stay active in the arts.     Continue reading

Gallery Walk: Special Art Edition

Red Arrow Contemporary Layeredby Erica Guajardo

On Saturday, February 23rd, the Design District plays host to its “Gallery Walk”.  For those that have not participated in this event I would like to suggest you make it out this Saturday.  This particular event is where the local galleries on Dragon Street open their doors from 5-9, depending on the gallery, and feature some of the leading artist locally, nationally, and internationally.  Most exhibitions turn every six weeks and open the viewer’s eye to what is grabbing the attention in the art world.  CraveDFW will be on site every walk, featuring an insight on some of the best galleries on Dragon Street.  We are featuring three new galleries in our very special “Gallery Walk Edition”.  Continue reading

What Are You Craving For Valentine’s Day?

What-do-you-Crave-for-VDay-800by Erica Guajardo

What do you CRAVE for Valentine’s Day?  This is the question on everyone’s mind I am sure.  On Thursday, February 14, 2013, Valentine’s Day will be officially here.  What will be on your agenda to do?  Many of us are considered single and don’t have that special someone to enjoy the day with, although some of us do.  So I have created a few out of the box suggestions for both worlds to enjoy on this loving day.

If you are someone who is short on cash, but would like to make the day unique, try a special edible gift for your friends and love ones to enjoy.  Although many of us crave this time of year were chocolate covered strawberries are in high demand, another alternative is chocolate pudding cupcakes with strawberries.  This is a creative way to get your chocolate fix and spread some cheer. Plus when you cut the cupcake in half, to share with that special someone, the strawberries look like tiny hearts.    Continue reading
