CALL FOR ARTISTS, Encinitas "Shop Small Saturday", November 28th, E101 Mainstreet

Hello Artists,

E101 Mainstreet would like to invite you to participate in our Shop Small Saturday event on November 28 in Downtown Encinitas. We are in the process of creating a year round campaign to encourage our community to shop small and to shop local.

This event will feature local merchants in our downtown as they offer BIG discounts that day in conjuncture with American Express' Shop Small Saturday.

We also wish to promote local art during this event and that is where you come in! We will be reserving an empty lot along Highway 101 to feature local art for sale. It will be much like a mini art bazaar with live music and live art demonstrations.

Please let me know if you are available for this event. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Contact: Irene Phyun at ipyun@encinitas101.com.

ABSTRACTION by Cheryl Ehlers, Dec 5 - Jan 14, 2016, E101 Gallery, Encinitas, CA

ABSTRACTION with  Cheryl Ehlers, "paint what the eyes do not see". 

December 5 thru January 14, 2016, E101 Gallery, 8185 Coast Hwy 101, Encinitas, CA

The Abstraction exhibit is a flow of feeling, thoughts and imagination.  Bright in colors and free flowing shapes, it brings your mind to ponder what was on the artists mind at the very moment of creation? Thoughts become pictures in the mind.  You can feel them.  Placing a brush to a canvas allows the thoughts and colors to flow and is the ultimate experience in painting. 

"Creativity is not duplicating what your eyes see, it is the road that takes you onto many unknown paths. The end result is artistic expression and reveals the personality of an artist at that moment in time. I always want to be evolving in my art techniques", states Ehlers

Ehlers is an accomplished and published artist. Her exhibition portfolio includes venues domestically from San Diego to New York City, as well as internationally including, France, Italy, Germany and New Zealand. This exhibition will showcase Ehlers’ works in mixed mediums and brings color to the surface.

She is the current City of Encinitas, Arts program assistant, managing 3 galleries, and the founder and owner of The Stardust Arts, a youth art program that provides the development of creativity and imagination to those that have the desire and drive to experience art and obtain the academic enrichment it provide to the children in schools today. Teaching over 12,600 students, in school programs since 2009, The Stardust Arts is supported by community donations, grants and sponsorship's and is recognized by the California State Assembly for its contributions to art in local communities and the San Diego Board of Supervisors.

Thank you to the San Dieguito Art Guild for sponsoring The Stardust Arts upcoming exhibition on December 5th at the Encinitas Civic Center Gallery.  Stop by and view the student art.

Linda Litteral, Beauty: The Hidden Story, Ceramics

Armor: Through beauty, my visual language talks about the psychological constructs made by abused children to protect their psyche during the abuse. The delicate and ephemeral leaves of the porcelain armor would not protect someone, but the idea of the woods as a safe place in your mind does.

E101 Gallery Artist, Steve Webb - Sept 11th - Oct 23rd

E101 Gallery, Encinitas presents:

Steve Webb - "Adventures and mis-adventures of the common dog."

Exhibit dates: September 11 – October 23, 2015

Through strong brush strokes and vivid color, the artworks portray whimsical still life, abstract, animal and landscape paintings.

"The need to make pictures started as a child with drawing. At the University it went to more advanced expression with more advanced materials, but always with drawing as the core. At first the focus seemed to be the figure and different versions of landscape. Today it's just draw and paint and see where it goes."

The series "art for the common dog"  emerged as a counter to our daily lives, chronicling the adventures and misadventures of our "best friends". It has become a preoccupation with the overall goal being to just lighten it up a bit and introduce a bit of levity into what is often a stressful experience (life).  "I hope you see it the same way."

Kirsten Francis exhibits: A Thousand Cuts: Paper Collage and Portraits, Encinitas Community Center

Leucadia Artist, Kirsten Francis pencils, a sharp blade and glue to create unique portraits and is exhibiting her new work in a solo show, A Thousand Cuts: Paper Collage and Portraits, at the Encinitas Community Center Art Gallery September 4- November 4, 2015.

Artist Reception is Saturday, September 26, 1-4 pm The sharp blade of an x-acto knife is just as important in Kirsten Francis’ work as a pencil or paint. Francis begins by drawing expressive figures of people she knows on paper. Then she starts using a sharp blade, cutting out her drawings and as well as found images. The works become more detailed and complex as she cuts and glues together many different images, shapes and textures, from magazine photographs to vintage bird illustrations.


“I was a woodblock printmaker for years, carving images into plywood and printing overlapping layers of color. Looking at my work now, I can see I still use similar techniques. I cut away, then add, and do it again, creating layers and adding complexity.” Francis says. Francis studied Printmaking at Mesa College and the Pacific Northwest College of Art. She has had solo shows at the Bakersfield Museum of Art, Bakersfield, CA, the Center on Contemporary Art, Seattle, WA and Encinitas Library, Encinitas, CA. Her work has also been exhibited at the Athenaeum, La Jolla, CA, the Oceanside Museum of Art, Oceanside, CA, and the San Diego Museum of Art, San Diego, CA.
