Mother Abiah by George Penaloza

The exhibition features works by Debra Fritts, George Penaloza and Cheryl Tall. The Artist’s Reception will be this Saturday, February 4, 2012 from 6PM to 9PM.

George Penaloza gives voice to his creativity through ceramic sculpture that is inspired by fantasy movies and special effects design. His sculpture gives life to what exists within his heart and imagination.

Heads Above Water by Cheryl Tall

 

Cheryl Tall’s figurative sculptures focus on the relationships between people and their surroundings, especially their homes or workplaces. Her works are coil-built and are inspired by her personal experiences of travel and a study of mythology and primitive art.

Bronze Pour at Industria Studios

The local Tucson non-profit Industria Studios is having a big fundraiser this Saturday titled: Hot Fun in the Summertime! There will be art auctions, bronze pouring demonstrations, blacksmithing , life body castings, music, and theatrical performances.

Industria Studios Inc. was founded in 2003 by local artists to provide a non-competitive educational and working studio. Six years later they became a non)profit 501c3 corporation with a 5000 square foot studio loaded with tools, machinery for sculptural fabrication, ceramics foundry, and a forge for bronze casting.  In 2009 Industria established Tucson’s first sculptors guild named Arizona Sculpture Society.

Industria Studio’s main mission is to enhance the educational experience for the arts community and to increase involvement and participation of the fine arts. It is dedicated to increasing the awareness, activities, and appreciation for fine arts among the community
