Art-to-Go from Studio STK

Closing our doors

2007-11-07T21:14:00.000-08:00

Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the last two and a half years. We have thoroughly enjoyed meeting you all, and will miss the opportunities Studio STK gave us to interact with such wonderful artists, crafters, and appreciators!

At Studio STK we worked hard to promote the work of contemporary, local artists, and we hope you will continue with this after we are gone from our physical location. Studio STK will live on in cyber-space - check back for the everchanging aesthetic you know so well!

And be sure to join us this coming Saturday for our goodbye bash! We will be liquidating our inventory of Studio STK merchandise (get yours now - they will be collectors items in a few years!!!) and of course there will be artwork galore!

See you then!

Check out RADAR[theory]'s one-of-a-kind collaged journals, now for sale online in the Studio STK Flat File and Art Inventory. Or of course, you can come visit me at Studio STK and see the items for yourself!

dug Nap

2007-09-23T16:11:00.000-07:00

Original drawings by dug Nap are now available online in the Studio STK Flat File Art Inventory. If you live around Burlington, you have most likely seen dug's clever prints. His drawings, however, are harder to find.

Studio STK now has an exclusive representation of these fabulous drawings, and we encourage you to make one your own - when they are discovered by the rest of the world they are going to go like mad!

For immediate release...

2007-09-10T13:10:00.000-07:00

Studio STK announces an exciting exhibition of Digital Paintings by Andrew Reach. The show, entitled “Whimsies, Conflicts and Desires,” will open with a reception on September 28th from 6 to 9 PM; the exhibition will run through October 22 2007 at Studio STK, 12 North St. in Burlington Vermont.

Andrew Reach was a successful architect in California and Florida, until a crippling illness forced him to leave his work. As a continued outlet for his creativity, and a therapeutic practice to combat pain, Andrew began painting digitally – using computer graphics programs to create worlds of his own. Andrew’s work has been influenced by his renowned architectural pursuits (in addition to several private residences in Los Angeles and Miami, he designed the Miami Courthouse and the University of Miami’s Frost Museum), as well as the hardships and joys of his life. His works, printed at sizes of up to 72 inches, consist of photographs mingled with colors and forms, and nearly always include his carefree “whimsies” – expressions of the artist’s continued spirit in the face of intense pain. Ranging from intricate patterns to psychedelic swirls of intense color, all of these works surpass their paper boundaries to create mesmerizing and compelling experiences for the viewer.

We look forward to seeing you at this amazing show!

Flat File

2007-08-29T21:49:00.000-07:00

Have a look at our newly operating online selection of Fine Art. We call it our internet flat file. More will be added shortly, when we recover from the excitement of the new installation exhibit presently under construction and to be unveiled this Friday evening... (Abby Manock, "BAG TAG: Expisode Back Home," check it out at Gallery Studio STK).

For now, browse (and buy? why not!) the lovely pieces by Ira Cummings, Barbara Nedd, and S.R. Wild. Then come back again later and see some more!

(Remember, no Art-to-Go this month. Go to Burlington's South End Art Hop instead!)

oops, its been a while

2007-08-24T08:14:00.000-07:00

Things are changing here at Studio STK... but then again, when are they not? Stop in to see the new location of our shoppy merchandise (awesome tees from Designer Logo, art cards from S.R. Wild, and the neatest journals ever form May Day Studio. Now everything is right out front, and our sweet little shop room is home to our Fine Art Inventory. More for you to choose from, much more to look at! It's all in the process of happening right now...

Happy Friday!

2007-08-10T13:15:00.000-07:00

hello friends,
just a little update - we will not be holding an Art-to-Go event at Studio STK in September, since Burlington's South End Art Hop is happening on the First Friday weekend. Our next date will be the beginning of October - mark your calendars now and... well, I guess you can wait a little while. But definitely get busy making things, so when the time rolls around you can have a table of your very own!

We are considering changing the Art-to-Go event from Friday evening to Saturday afternoon... any thoughts?

Art-to-Go August

2007-08-05T11:10:00.000-07:00

Thank you vendors!

Our August Art-to-Go had a terrific group of vendors, beautiful wares, but unfortunately very few people. I just have to say, everyone who was not there totally missed out, because the work was just incredible.

Kacey Boone, Subsixstudios

Claire and Brigid Barrett, Parasol Sisters

Janifer Dumas

Coleen McLaughlin, It's Elemental

Joanne Kalisz, Happy Fantastic

Once again, thank you vendors! You were all terrific and I hope to have you back again at Studio STK Art-to-Go!

oh did I mention...

2007-08-03T11:52:00.000-07:00

... that we are air-conditioned?

Escape the heat + see and buy awesome handmade creations = fantastic evening at Studio STK!

Join us tonight!

2007-08-03T07:46:00.000-07:00

Tonight is the night for the Art-to-Go DIY Show and Sell Night! Come on by and visit our great group of vendors... you will find jewelry, art dolls, clothing, fine art pieces, and more!

Hope to see you this evening!

Yippee another vendor!

2007-07-31T21:42:00.000-07:00

Hello there,
I am pleased to announce the addition of Colleen McLaughlin, of Its Elemental (see her blog here) for the August Art-to-Go event. Colleen's art dolls are fabulous creations, with faces you would swear are alive. She also creates cards and small artworks - we'll just have to wait and see what she brings!

Yay Poster!

2007-07-27T17:43:00.000-07:00

Gearing up for the next big event!

2007-07-25T10:01:00.000-07:00

So I have received word of three return vendors for August's Art-to-Go Do-it-Yourself Event! Claire Barrett, with her lovely jewelry; Kacey Boone of Subsixstudios, gorgeous jewelry designs; and Joanne Kalisz of Happy Fantastic, great t-shirts, dresses, bags and more! Thanks for coming back!

We are currently registering for August, so if you have some art, craft, or other creative goodness you would like to share with the world, now is your chance to showcase in a friendly, creative environment! Registration is $20.00, and includes a table or space if you use other furniture, and advertising online in Seven Days, posters and flyers around town, other online advertising, and more. Feel free to email me for more details or to request a registration form!

In my absence...

2007-07-16T12:29:00.000-07:00

hello all! Sorry for the disappearance. I am actually travelling in Belize at the moment, teaching art at a summer camp with a Methodist Church group. Today we had our first day of teaching, and I had two groups of about 20 or so students making journal books. If any of you crafty people have terrific ideas for keeping large groups of very young children busy, entertained, and under control, by all means send 'em along!

Meanwhile, back at Studio STK... our second Studio STK Art-to-Go DIY Show and Sell is accepting registrations. Since I am so far away, I really am a bit out of the loop as to what exactly has been happening so far, but I am going to invite Sage - SSTK owner - to update us all on the state of things. I will be back before the next show, and I just hope I don't spend all my money down here, since I am sure there will be so many tempting handcrafted goodness for sale right in Vermont.

Here's to hoping you are all well! See you in August!

Thank you thank you thank you!

2007-07-08T11:36:00.001-07:00

I want to send a big big Thank you! out to all of our vendors from Friday night! I hope you all had a good time, it was lovely having you and your amazing work altogether in the Gallery! I would love to hear feedback - questions, concerns, ideas, advice... this event is very much in progress, so your thoughts on how to make it better will be much appreciated!

Thank you also to our visitors - spread the word!

Here are a few photos...

Extra! Extra!

2007-07-05T11:57:00.000-07:00

The surprises (sorry, I got so busy with fireworks and in-door grilling I nearly forgot!)

First off, new 12 North St. occupant, the Women's Whole Health Partnership, will be offering $5.00/10 minute massages for women during the Art-to-Go Event! How exciting is this? The new massage studio is peaceful and relaxing, and the owner, Ania, is one of our new favorite people around here. Such a great addition to the evening, and to our space in general!

Secondly, dug Nap will be joining us to promote his intimate, "unhatted" performances of his one man show, "My Imaginary Girlfriend." These performances will take place July 13 & 14 at Studio STK, and tickets are available through Studio STK - or buy them straight from dug tomorrow evening!

See you all then!

Beautiful things

2007-07-02T13:43:00.000-07:00

In addition to our lovely guest vendors, Studio STK's Art-to-Go Shop will be open for business this Friday evening, with such wonderful items for sale as these beaded earrings by Jen Berger...

And handmade paper jewelry from Portland, Maine, design studio Ember Grove...

We also have some special surprises for the evening... well, I doubt they will be surprises long. Check back tomorrow (I just can't keep a secret!)

Getting ready...
