Results: March First Friday.

The results are in and Friday Friday: March '11 edition is the undeniable winner. From the packed crowds to the trading of art work, our latest First Friday may have been our most successful to date. People crammed themselves into our small art loft just to see what was poppin' at QuarterYellowStudios. Of course, we can't just take the credit ourselves, as much as we wish we could. No, much of the credit must go to our Artist of the Month, Aaron Sheldon. Without his tremendous talent and dedication to the show, this would not have been possible. In case you missed it, and we're sure you had a good reason, here's a little eye candy for you. We know that's what you really want.

That's right folks. We hung it from the ceiling.

The lovely Aaron, pouring the adoring public some drinks!

Is the overwhelming feeling of depression hitting you because you now see what you have missed? Well, feel sad no longer because Aaron will back next month with new work! So don't miss it.

In other QYS related news, Kady Perry has been hard at work on her own projects that include working on not one, not two, but three different murals! Yes, three. And she has a little message she would like to get out there:

My name is Kady Perry and I am a muralist. I am working on a mural in the union underground across from the Pipedream office. I am restoring the mural someone began and did not finish, most students know exactly which one! The goal of the rehabilitation of the mural is to create B.U. school pride. One way to do this is by including the names of student clubs/groups on campus in the mural (specifically in the petals of the many flowers). Since there are so many organizations, I am looking to have the students email and request a spot for their club/group. Tell your friends to submit, too! Also it is imperative that I get input from students, so I am also looking for ideas/feedback/requests on what should be included, as well as any response to What do you find iconic about B.U.? Email Kady Perry at kperry1@binghamton.edu.

And here is a quick look at the before mentioned mural, a student started, and Kady is revamping! The "before" persay be sure to look for the "after" in April!

Enjoy your day (light savings time)

Are you getting ready? Ready for what you say. Ready for First Friday at the one, the only QuarterYellowStudios, of course. This week we have the extremely talented Aaron Sheldon joining us and we could not be more excited. A printmaking major, Aaron joins us from BU and has an interesting story to tell. Do you want to know? Good, because here it is.

"I grew up in a small valley, surrounded by forests and wildlife. At the time, I was close with my uncle and members of my family had brought me into a discrete world of the wild hunt. My work isn't about wildlife, it isn't about the act of hunting, but rather my progression through that stage of my life where I transformed from boyhood to man. It was curious, this rite of passage, as women had a clear cut "when you bleed, you're a woman." The men had, traditionally, sanctioned times to pass this rite on, and mine had come at the age of nine. This show is a reflection on myself as a social critique through puberty and a man's rite of passage through hunts. I incorporate printmaking (monotypes) and sculpture to mirror this memory."

If that's not enough to get you Downtown on March 4th, just take a look at some of his work.

So, you getting ready. I thought so.

See you Friday (March 4th, 6pm-9pm)
