Changes

October 6. The gallery had rock music playing and hors d’oeuvres for guests to enjoy as they walked around. A few of the featured artists attended and walked people through the gallery, describing the different styles and techniques, such as Robert Shingler’s mixed media paintings and Derek Brennan’s encaustic work. The show ran through the rest of the month and went out with a closing reception on October 28. Derek Brennan and Tom Faraci held an artist talk with attending guests, speaking about the background and influence of all of the artists featured in the gallery. Robert Shingler then went on to do a painting demo, working on a caricature of Alice Cooper and taking questions from the crowd. Over the course of the whole event, some pieces were sold, we got some local news coverage, and even caught the eye of a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame curator. Loftworks hopes to team up with ISCA again to make this show an annual tradition. With year one in the books, we hope to make 2018’s event even bigger and reach a wider audience. Thank you to everyone who participated, attended, sponsored, and helped organize Sketchbook Heroes: Caricatures of Rock Legends.
