In conjunction with the Artclash Collective, Silver Streak Gallery will host the first annual Fun-A-Day in Tucson exhibition in February 2012.

Fun-A-Day is a simple concept that produces beautiful results: Pick a project (take a photograph, make the bed, draw a picture, bake a cake, etc), do it every day in January, then show your work the following month in a big group show. The medium can be anything you choose; performance art, photography, drawing, painting, music, textiles, macaroni art, etc. Expect the gallery to be filled to the rafters with cool art!

The show is all ages, unjuried and we will show all the work we receive. No registration is required, but please give us a heads up if you want to participate so we can reserve some space for you. Give us a holler at info@silverstreakgallery.com.

I’m considering participating with some kind of photo exhibit but it’s going to be a surprise.

Silver Streak Gallery is a new art gallery at the brand new Monterey Court Studio Galleries, 404 W. Miracle Mile (at 14th Avenue), west of Oracle Rd. They are “dedicated to showcasing inventive works of contemporary art, photography and sound by emerging artists”. Website: www.silverstreakgallery.com, phone 520-207-3216. Their hours will be Wednesday – Sunday: 3pm – 8pm (closed Monday and Tuesday) and by appointment.

This Monterey Court collective of artists & retail shops has adequate parking around it and promises to have a cafe & bar as well. Check it out sometime. We visited a few of the galleries (paintings, photography, gourd creations, metal & ceramic artisans) on December 22 during the Winter Solstice grand opening of Silver Streak Gallery.
