Artomatic Opening Night

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Artomatic opened to record crowds this past weekend and we want to thank everyone for coming out. Dr. Birdcage took this shot of us on opening night: Rebecca Gordon from http://missivesfromthebirdcage.vox.com/ The downside to being on the Board of directors is that I don't always leave enough time to market my ...

#1 fan!

The ants had a serious fan and I just had to immortalize him here. He was a contributer, conservator, and one-man PR team. (I don't like to post kid's names without parental permission, so we'll just call him Ant Dude for now).

There are now 2,000 of these buttons in circulation

If you spot someone wearing one of these buttons, be sure to tell me (or better yet, send a photo!). I've gotten reports of sightings as far away as Yellowstone and I understand the ants have a bit of a following at [tag]Red Bull[/tag] in Philadelphia (thanks guys!). But more ...

"Strange Art, Stranger People: A festival in Crystal City showcases the peculiar." Out in the hallway hundreds of tiny ants climb up the walls and make an ungodly hissing noise." Honestly, I haven't counted, but a gentleman was counting them last time I passed by my site. I asked him to leave ...

Painter [tag]Jen Whitney[/tag] (artomatic artist profile) led the first artist-led tour of Artomatic, highlighting work that she was drawn to as an artist and curator. I missed the tour but talked to her before and after. Hopefully she'll post her tour of her top 10 artist picks. Antomatic ...

the antomatic story

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (specifically: Washington, DC, 2005), George Koch and I were doing a little roadshow to try to entice different groups to partner with Artomatic to help the event grow and adapt and flourish. At the same time, I was obsessed with ...

my 1st 10 list

Monday, April 16th, 2007

Sean has started compiling his Top 10 list and I giggled to see I'd made the list. He even has a picture of the ants. I need help from a Real Photographer to try to capture the ants for posterity, but I'm working on it. Also, it has ...
