Gallery Route One Zoom presentation: Making Artful Boxes




Molly and Larry participated in the Gallery Route One’s Zoom presentation to demonstrate how we created some of our pieces for the annual Box Show. Here’s the video.

Making Artful Boxes: Every summer Gallery Route One, a nonprofit art organization in Northern California, holds its annual BOX SHOW and auction to benefit the gallery. 150 identical wooden boxes are given to 150 artists to make an artwork using the box, which is then donated to the gallery auction. "Making Artful Boxes" is a series of online conversations by artists who have made box art in the past, to share techniques and ideas and to help new box artists plan their box art.

Overthrowin’ the Guvment with Art Young

One of my all-time favorite cartoonists, Art Young, drew this cartoon (one of my all-time favorite cartoons) back in the early part of the last century.

The cartoon has always seemed timeless to me-- and right now, like current events.
