New Wilmington Art Association
4 West 5th Street

The Rules for Staying Young explores the impact of baseball as an inspiration and conceptual model for historical and contemporary American artists, while investigating the ties between the game and the visual arts. From Thomas Eakins to Stephen Shore, baseball has captured the imagination and eye of American artists since its conception. The parallels between the timeless nature of our pastime and the evolving artistic studio are abundant, and remain profoundly relevant to contemporary practice. This exhibition highlights the rich territory between game and artist, where the perpetual moments of art and baseball meet.

Something Else

Put on your dress clothes and bring your fifteen minute mixes.

They'll be a reception and slide show for the third and final Daily Camera book (You can preview and order the first two here.) this Friday, March 13 at 709 Railroad Street.

Directly after, there will be a My Idea of Fun show in East Conemaugh at Buster's. We'll have other books on hand and performances by Higher Fives, The Hit and Miss Engines, The Sunflower Spectacle, Technological Epidemic, Laika the Astro-Hound and others.

If you're in the area, I would love to see you here tonight. It's a more important night than most for me. Also, if you have one, please bring your camera along with you. I'd like to include as many shots as I can on this day...
