I've been holding off on writing this post for a while because details have been fuzzy and a bit complicated. Let's start with the basics: I submitted to the the  Brush Gallery's 4x4 Education Exhibition . It's a 4x4 inch mixed media collage of a succulent. Inspired by my recent project ? Yes, yes dear. This little guy will be up for grabs at the closing reception… which will be taking place at some vague point. {shrugs} Essentially, there is a $25 cover charge, and visitors can participate in a raffle to take home one of the submitted works of art.  All the proceeds from the event will go toward a scholarship for an underprivileged student entering into the University of Lowell's art program. The event was originally slated to take place March 14th (yes, this past Saturday). Due to concerns over the spread of the Corona Virus, this event has been postponed. In fact, the Brush Gallery is closed to visitors indefinitely. So details are still coming in, but I

Whoosh! March is gone and April looks like it's going to be a whirlwind adventure. I've got a LOT in the works and a bunch of upcoming events to note: First up is the April Open Studio at Western Avenue Studios and Lofts : THIS Saturday, April 4th, from noon - 5pm. Please stop by and say hi … and buy some art from me and/or the 150+ other artists on site. ;-) I will be in my studio (#112) working on costumes and more picture book portfolio (more on that shortly). Next up, I have a piece in the Four By Four for Education show over at the Brush Gallery . The show has been up a few weeks. The final day/fundraising reception: Saturday, April 11th, from 2 − 5pm. My piece on display is the Woven Heart ( #141 in the slideshow ). Admission is $25 which benefits a UMASS Lowell (art) scholarship. The admission fee also gets you one of the original pieces from the show. Woven Heart © Samantha Grenier 2015 To cap off my month, the  Society of Children's Book Writers and Il

Tomorrow night is the final Holiday shopping excursion at Western Avenue Studios & Lofts . The Loading Dock Gallery is hosting a Homemade Holiday Shopping Night . Stop by after work if you'd like - Official Gallery/shopping hours are 5pm - 9pm, Thursday, December 18th. I will be stopping by the gallery as well. I hear there will be some food sold to benefit the Miracle Providers . I have a couple things to finish up in the studio, so naturally my door will be open once I've finished shopping/grazing/socializing. My studio hours will be (about) 6:30-9:00 pm. I'm located on the 1st Floor in the C/D Mill. Hope to see you there!
