Hello everybody! Have I some exciting news for you! VCA is going to be having its first real show since we went through the big change.

I have more than 20 reasons for you to brave the cold weather and indulge in your crazy hobby or chosen profession of staring at walls…the VCA artists are going to be showing! The collective of artists over at Axis were kind enough to volunteer their gallery space to us this December. It was an offer we couldn’t refuse :D. Even while wading through the muck and mire of financing and city permits, art finds a way.

So, here’s a sample of work from the VCA artists to get you amped and ready for the show when it opens this Saturday:

Jose di Gregorio

Gioia Fonda

Ianna Nova Frisby

Aleksander Bohnak

Interval Press

Youngsuk Suh

Roma Devanbu

Verge @ Axis will be open December 4 – December 19, 2010. The Preview Reception is Thursday December 9, 6:00 – 8:00pm and the Second Saturday Reception is December 11, 6:00 – 9:00pm. Axis Gallery is at 1517 19th Street, Sacramento, CA 95811. Gallery hours are Saturday and Sunday 12-5pm or by appointment. For more information see www.axisgallery.com

Verge’s Holiday Open House is TONIGHT!

The studios will be opened for your perusal.

We got some fabulous silent auction items including a gift basket from Trumpette, Dinner for two at Magpie, and art by Chelsea Greninger and Patrick Marasso. In addition to this we’ve opened a tiny antique store in the space with all manner of little treasure and vintage score + a selection of Verge resident artists have completed limited edition works that will be for sale at bargain basement prices!

Scott Soriano and Scott Miller will be djing…

Jolly Pumpkin Oro de Calabaza will be flowing and we’ll have tasty snacks for everyone’s enjoyment.

We could go on and on and on….

Untitled , Jose Luis di Gregorio, 6″x6″, Archival Print, 2010, Edition of 50

Check out this beautiful piece by Verge resident artist Jose Luis di Gregorio. It’s just one of the many great things you will score by contributing to Verge Center for the Arts Kickstarter campaign in the coming weeks.

Our campaign launched yesterday around 2pm and we are already well over $800. It is my hope that we can crack 1k by the weekend.

Help us make that a reality and more importantly, help Sacramento earn the visual arts resources it has long deserved. Let’s work together to build a better Sacto!

THE THING at THE VERGE

Tonight is the night! The first MidMo Movie Night (MidMoMoNi) at Verge! This evening we will be screening John Carpenter’s The Thing! A $3 donation gets you in the door and we’ll have beer and popcorn.

Rumor has is there just may be a Charles and Ray Eames short or two to kick things off.

Come have fun with your Verge buddies!

What are we up to!?!?!?!??!?!?!?

vergecenterforthearts — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 21:42:55 +0000

Stayed tune to find out!

Verge is busting out all over!

vergecenterforthearts — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 20:35:59 +0000

Check it out!!!!!!

Verge took Reader’s Choice for Best Gallery for the second year in a row in the Sacramento News and Review. This detail is surprising, and serves as a strong testament to the community’s belief in our programming – given the fact that the gallery has been closed for rebuilding since March. (FYI the address in SNR is wrong, make that 625 S not 628)

On top of that, take a peek at this fantastic write up we got in Sactown’s fall art preview! That’s page 71 to all of you out there who have the current issue laying around.

Goooooooo Verge! YAY!
