Tonight!

Extended Deadline for Submissions - Submissions Due Today

Better hop on it and submit your pieces to 2ndthursday@gmail.com before midnight rolls around!

We Want ______

And we'd be tickled pink if you designed something for us! We like the idea of having kickass t-shirts, stickers, posters, flyers, Web images; you name it and we'd like to see some contributions from the artists we love!

We know we're rad. You know we're rad. We want the world to see just how rad we are by implementing your designs for 2ND Thursday collateral and paraphernalia. We can't give out any cash monies for designs, but we will pimp the hell out of that shit, and you! Of course we'll attribute you whenever we're able and refer any interested parties to you. We may even take pictures of ourselves pimping your design for you to use to pimp us pimping your design.

Please submit any design ideas to 2ndthursday@gmail.com.

May 9 Forum

Last night was a lot of fun and while the evening started out with a small group we ended the night with pretty good attendance. Thanks to everyone who came out and contributed!


A summary of what was discussed:

• The deadline for the May 31 Deep Ellum show has been extended to May 20. This show is open to 2ND Thursday members only and will be hosted at 2646 Main Street, Dallas, TX 75226. E-mail submissions to 2ndthursday@gmail.com.
• The Idioms show will be held in late August at the Jeremy McKane Gallery. Stop by to check out the space as well as the current show!
• We think Nina has created a shirt design for us!
• The next open studio night should include more art and less revelry. Live and learn, eh? We're down for hanging out as a group but want to keep 2ND Thursday associated events focused on art.

What you need to know about the Idioms show:

• It is open to 2ND Thursday members.
• You must have one idiom per piece of art submitted.
• You must not choose an idiom someone else has claimed.
• E-mail submissions to 2ndthursday@gmail.com.

Here is a list of taken idioms:

• Erica - On the dot
• Owen - Long in the face/Lounge lizards
• Alex - Crazy like a fox
• Kirk - Didn't crack a smile
• Kelly - Sleeping with the fish

Cedars Spring Show Recap

First, we'd like to thank everyone who came out to spend part of their day with us. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did and we look forward to seeing you all at our next event - the Deep Ellum Show on May 31.

We'd also like to thank all the generous souls who contributed; we couldn't have done this without all of you! We appreciate having such an awesome space to show in, great food to eat, awesome music and a wide array of art to enjoy while we soak up the fresh spring air.

The above is just one shot of an installation which has become a Cedars Studio Tour staple: it thrills and delights everyone who sees it. To see the rest of the art that was on display yesterday visit our Facebook page and check out the Cedars Spring Show album!

Just a reminder - the deadline to submit to the first ever 2ND Thursday Open Art Show is this Friday, May 10! Send submissions to 2ndthursday@gmail.com before then to be considered for participation.
