WHAT PRINCESS SAID
By Angela WilliamsFirst Coast News JAX, FL -
Life, entertainment, and a bit of color. This is part of downtown's changing face, and now local artists have a chance to put a colorful touch on it.“Downtown will only be as great as the people in it and if we don’t build this thing here, we are actually hurting the vision of the city,” says Princess Rashid. Princess is one of several local artists working with Downtown Vision to showcase art in vacant buildings. It also gives her paintings a steady home. “Instead of hustling and slinging my work all over the place and having it up for only one night and then having to take it somewhere else the next day, I have a place it can stay a month,” says Rashid.
Downtown businesses also like what they see. Juan Gonzalez owns Hemming Plaza Jewelry. He's renting the empty building next to him so artists can use it as a gallery during the city's next art walk.“It’s helping the artists to expose their work and it’s helping the landlord because he wants to lease it and have people see what a great venue it is,” says Gonzalez. With several residential lofts already underway, the city says they see this new project as another way to promote life downtown as well as the people who help keep it alive. “We’re in Jacksonville and Jacksonville’s our city and that’s where we have to make our name,” says Rashid.
If you would like more information about this growing art scene, contact Downtown Vision at (904)-634-0303. To find out about gallery space through the Artists Cooperative Center, contact Princess Rashid at (904)-745-0956.

THROUGH OUR EYES!!!!! "WOW"
TOE ArtistsI got there a little before 5:30pm. The food was waiting and so was the people. The doors to the gallery was not yet open. We had to wait until the curator "L. Stewart" said it was OK to enter. 1st impression. "Wow" very nice. All artists there to represent their work. "Good job guys".
Most artists captured the theme "A Legacy Illuminated" in the traditional form of self expression while the others left the viewers wondering and waiting for an explanation. As you know, most artists love to "break it down" for you. This show is worth the time and effort you take to see it. It will enlighten you. It will intrigue you. It might even confuse you. One thing it want do is bore you.
The THROUGH OUR EYES exhibit will be on display through September 29th. Stop by to see it for yourself. More pictures of the show coming soon.

QUOTE of the DAY
Asking for a price cut on art is like going to Saks and trying to get a discount on a full-price dress, according to Schneider, who notes that people don't seem to have a problem paying hundreds of dollars to frame a mass-produced poster. For someone used to working in New York and Paris, the lack of distinction between serious art and decorative objects is an ongoing problem.
