Past Show March 24, 2012
East Bank Gallery members will also be celebrating our seventh anniversary with a themed exhibit featuring works based on the number seven.
Bankheist on the Eastbank Oct 15th 1pm to 8pm September 24, 2011
Artists stage to take the Eastbank for a great cause.
A unique one-day open-studio, potluck, wet-show, and benefit will be held at 8th & Railroad Center, in Sioux Falls on October 15th, from 1PM to 8PM.
Bankheist is open to all working visual artists and friends (really), and will begin at 1PM in and around 8th & Railroad Center, and within participating businesses. Artists are encouraged to work on original pieces alongside their community, while sharing, conversing, and supporting each other throughout the afternoon (but remember to bring your own supplies)
An artists, friends, and family potluck dinner will be held starting at 5PM on the back loading dock and commons area, and everyone is asked and encouraged to bring their favorite dish to pass and serve (cause we like to eat)
A public wet-show and sale of the work created that day will follow at 6PM, and last till 8PM, which can be found within the Commons area of 8th & Railroad Center, cause we like the sale as much as the eating part.
And then in an effort to support the next generation of working artists (like us), participating artists are asked to donate a modest percentage of their fine sales towards the recently established Robert Aldern Scholarship Fund at Augustana College, and the public is also encouraged to donate to this valued fund as well. We do this because we care.
The public (that’s the rest of you) iis especially encouraged to come out and support your local working artists throughout the day, and see the incredible work being created for this great cause (and take a few pieces home that night too)
Participating businesses (thank you!) open for artists to work from currently include:
Eastbank Art Gallery*
Rug & Relic*
Aviena*
*Space is extremely limited within these fine outstanding businesses, so share and be nice, and of course, artists are encouraged to use the commons area, the front boardwalk, and the loading dock as well, whatever works.
Alright, spread the word, hug your neighbor, kiss the dog, and we’ll see you there!
