The GoodBean is proud to present the art of Brooke Nuckles Gentekos for your enjoyment through the month of March, 2013. It was just outside our door that curator Hannah West and Ms. Nuckles met for the first time. As it turned out, Brooke and her husband Pete had just arrived in southern Oregon after a two-car trip across the country from Vermont. Brooke had spotted the Southern Oregon Artists Resource’s page on Facebook and found it a good way to get a feel for what was happening in the southern Oregon art community as she and her husband planned their move. Once here, it also made it easier for her to know who she was talking to, recognizing Hannah right away. When Hannah asked her if she had found a job or a place to live yet, Brooke said No, we just arrived.

Personally, I believe so… Continue reading The Art Inspector: Saving the Earth by Changing Art 
We couldn’t be more pleased to add another innovative artistic endeavor to our directory, and discovering what’s going on in southern Oregon’s creative community is often as much of a surprise to us as it is to anyone else! This time we introduce Mark & Sarah Hannah of Ink & Oil, a design store and gallery based in Grants Pass, OR that offers hard to find design classes and workshops. Hannah still operates “Thief(it)” in Pasadena, CA. Why Thief it?” he writes on his Web site, thiefit.com. “It is an answer to a question. Next time somebody asks you what to do with an object that would otherwise be thrown away, tell them to Thief It. Create a unique object or product that is your own and save it from the future, which would probably have been a big hole in the ground and, depending on its composition, a very, Continue reading A Warm Welcome to Mark Hannah of Ink & Oil! |
