DESCRIPTION:Pastel Society of NC\n2024 Statewide Art Exhibition\nOPENING FRIDAY\, JUNE 7\nFIRST FRIDAYS AT THE MILL | 6-9PM \nOpen artist studios with the Eno Arts Mill Studio Artists\nLive Music: Triangle Jazz Orchestra\nLocal food truck: TBA\nBeer from Red Oak\, Ponysaurus Brewing\, wine\, and NA beer selections\nArt Activity: Free gelli prints with Eno Mill Studio Artist Freddie Bell\nKids Activities \nABOUT THE SHOW \nArtists from the three pastel societies in NC will compete in the On Common Ground: From the Mountain to the Sea statewide juried exhibition. Finalists’ work will be on display and for sale at the Orange County Arts Commission Eno Arts Mill Gallery – a vibrant artistic hub located in historic West Hillsborough\, NC\, from June 7- June 29\, 2024. \nThe exhibition is a collaboration between The Pastel Society of North Carolina (PSNC)\, The Appalachian Pastel Society\, and the Piedmont Pastel Society. According to PSNC president\, Daphne Boder\, the goal of the statewide competition is to collaborate with the other regional societies in promoting the beauty of the soft pastel medium. Artwork on display will showcase the talents of these member artists some of whom have earned “master “status both nationally and internationally.  Winners are awarded cash and art prizes sponsored by North Carolina merchants and member groups. \nSoft pastel is a loved medium used by many modern artists such as Zaria Foreman and Deborah Stewart and classical greats including Vermeer\, Degas and Renoir. Prized for its brilliant color\, pastel was first used in the sixteenth century\, notably by Leonardo da Vinci. It flourished in the eighteenth century\, again in the late nineteenth century\, and remains popular today. \nAbout Pastel Society of North Carolina: \nFounded in 1996\, the goal of the society is to provide fellowship and encouragement\, promote standards of excellence in the use of the medium and further the education of the general community to the intrinsic beauty and permanency of art created from soft pastels. \n\nAbout the Live Music: Triangle Jazz Orchestra \nThe Triangle Jazz Orchestra is a big band composed of enthusiastic musicians from across the Triangle area of North Carolina. We perform the great American music of the jazz masters of the Swing Era\, including Count Basie\, Duke Ellington\, Glenn Miller\, Artie Shaw\, Benny Goodman\, and Benny Carter as well as more recent jazz and blues tunes. Our 20 musicians including a vocalist play in the traditional big band format with a full horn section for rich harmonies and a complete rhythm section for a driving\, danceable beat.

SUMMARY:First Fridays at the Mill: July 2024
DESCRIPTION:BASEMENT\n\nOPENING FRIDAY\, JULY 5\nFIRST FRIDAYS AT THE MILL | 6-9PM \nOpen artist studios with the Eno Arts Mill Studio Artists\nLive Music: Skylar Gudasz\nLocal food truck: Cilantro\nBeer from Red Oak\, Ponysaurus Brewing\, wine\, and NA beer selections\nArt Activity: Free African Paper Dolls with Eno Mill Studio Artists Tiffney Marley and Audrey Pinto\nFree Kids’ Activities \nABOUT THE SHOW \nWestern philosophy defines the body politic as a collective entity imagined as a metaphorical physical body-an embodied system\, ideology\, or practice. In celebration of the 5th anniversary since the formation of BASEMENT Art Space\, an alternative\, experimental\, and socially-oriented artist collective\, Body Politic exhibits the work of the art space’s current members. Collective­ly\, the work of these artists has been the catalyst and genesis of change\, growth\, and the evolution of BASEMENT. \nThis installation contemplates bodies as evidence of politics\, colonialism\, phi­losophy\, and absurdity. Chieko Murasugi reimagines the traditional Japanese kimono\, crafting it with cheesecloth which once wrapped napalm dropped by the United States on Japan during World War II. Chloé Rager collects rem­nants and evidence of the body’s presence\, filling pothole cavities\, gathering queered fragments\, and archiving signs of our existence. Laura Little exam­ines the body from a medicinal perspective\, mining medical archives to create dystopian and liminal perspectives on the US medical system. Her col­lages and altered readymades envision alternative paths for healing the body. \nJonh Blanco\, an undisciplined artist\, employs the body to render useful things useless. Clumping\, leaning onto\, attaching\, and stacking objects\, they narrate \nexplore the lived experiences of the refugee and immigrant narrative. Collec­tively\, these artists materialize the discomfort from our bodies as products or manifestations of US colonialism and failed systems. \nThis exhibition is curated by Julianne Miao in collaboration with Jonh Blanco\, Laura Little\, Chieko Murasugi\, Chloé Rager\, and Hồng-An Trương. \nABOUT BASEMENT \nFounded in 2019\, BASEMENT is a provisional artist-run project space located in Chapel Hill\, NC that supports experimental and critical art practices. We choose to strengthen and build connections between artists and communities specifically in the regional southeast. \nTo us\, working with artists is not only a singular event but is intended to be a long-term commitment to using our platform to uplift each other. We view our support as an important ongoing investment in building relationships with critical art practitioners from and for our local and regional Southern community. \n>>> Learn more about BASEMENT \n\nAbout Skylar Gudasz \nWith her luminous voice and captivating songcraft\, Skylar Gudasz has won the admiration of some of the most distinguished artists in music. In the past few years alone\, the Durham\, North Carolina-based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist has shared stages with the likes of Ray Davies\, Cat Power and Sharon Van Etten as part of the Big Star’s Third tribute concerts\, opened for Television and toured from the US with Teenage Fanclub to Europe with the Mountain Goats\, and appeared as a background vocalist on albums by Superchunk and Hiss Golden Messenger\, making her TV debut with the latter on Late Night with Seth Meyers. \nGudasz is set to release her third full length record in summer 2024. Her previous album\, Cinema\, in April 2020\, was recorded between the famed April Base in Eau Claire\, Wisconsin and in secret studios across the lush forests of the rich NC music scene. This sophomore album was the follow-up to her much praised full-length debut Oleander (a 2016 release\, produced by Chris Stamey\, that prompted The Bitter Southerner to praise her as “the Joni Mitchell the South never had”). \nGrowing up with a musical family in rural Ashland\, Virginia\, Gudasz first found her affinity for music by learning to play flute at age five\, and soon started writing songs of her own. She later taught herself to play piano and guitar\, drawing inspiration from use of alternate tunings in developing her own distinct style. Although she spent time in folk and rock bands after heading to North Carolina for college (where she studied Acting and Creative Writing)\, Gudasz has continued to strike off on her own with her lushly textured\, sculpted singular sound. \n>>> Learn more about Skylar
