Open

This Gallery is a gem that is ready to be discovered. John Paul is doing an excellent job of attracting talented studio artists. Tonight they will feature an up and coming artist....Rex Anthony. See a few of the pics.

Picture perfect!Open is a Gallery/ Artist Commune/ Podcast/ Open Mic Night/ residential building. I have participated in a couple of the weekly Wednesday night Figure Drawing classes. The environment is ever changing with new art, ideas, and people just as I imagine a gallery would be. I really love the fact that the space caters to all types of artists with all skill levels.The artists that join us for the figure drawing are very welcoming and encouraging. The models can be full nude. The sessions are very tastefully done and professional focusing the time to be all about the learning experience. The cost to participate is extremely affordable. It is $10 for the 2 hours class and there is a tip jar for the wine and beer that is offered.Parking is limited so make sure to arrive a bit early for larger events. All events for the gallery are posted to their Facebook page which makes it easy to see if any of my other friends are showing up and who the model is going to be during the figure drawing class. My only complaint is that the space smells like an artist commune. I am not sure who delegates the chores, but the lived in bathroom and couches for guests need to be shown as much love as the local art.I look forward to heading back to a space where I can recharge and reconnect to my inner right brain sans desk job.

They had an open mic poetry night that was really nice!!! Louisville has some VERY talented people!!!
