Extra drums are available {categories backspace="1"} 2008-07-03T21:43:00-05:00 http://studio1219.com/events/more/robert_mcgreevy_and_keith_steffke/ http://studio1219.com/events/more/robert_mcgreevy_and_keith_steffke/#When:16:23:07Z Studio 1219 is pleased to announce an exhibition by maritime artist Bob McGreevy and ship model builder Keith Steffke throughout the month of July. A wine and cheese reception will be open to the public on Friday July 11th from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. A live presentation by McGreevy will begin at 7:00. There is no cost and it is a great opportunity to meet with the artists and discuss their work. Fidelity to historical accuracy has made McGreevy almost as much a historian and researcher as an artist. In completing between 300 and 400 watercolor paintings in the past 20-plus years, he has been guided by a single motto: The devil is in the details. Originals and reproductions of McGreevy’s works will be available for purchase, throughout July, as “gicle’e”prints, an advanced method of printing that uses archival inks for greater-color fastness and clarity. McGreevy has been painting and modeling lake vessels for over 30 years. According to Bob, when he is researching a vessel he is painting, looking at a picture or reading about it “isn’t enough.” Using a model allows him to look at the vessel from different angles, to see how it casts shadows. He doesn’t use a model with every maritime painting, only for those boats where there are “a lot of unanswered questions.” “We feel very fortunate”, states Gallery Director David Stoneberg, “to have these two artists sharing their work with our community.” Editor’s Note: Gallery Director David Stoneberg 586-531-0120 may be reached for comment or background.

This year’s Renaissance: Roam the Globe will feature juried art which will have been chosen from artist submissions. This art will be displayed at commercial sites in downtown Port Huron. Each site will have a different “Port of the Globe” theme. Studio 1219 will host this event and will be one of the “Ports.” “Passports” can be purchased at the Studio, at a “Customs” site, and at each Port of Call for $10.00 each. Only those with passports can enter a site. Passports will be stamped at each “Port.” Trolleys will make round trips carrying patrons and participants from the Studio to “Customs” and “Ports.” Each “Port” will feature art, music, and food that coincide with the theme.
