Monadnock Arts are Alive! by Jessica Gelter https://padlet.com/jessica1220/8lrv8ocafma4xhjo Brimming with vitality, culture, and creativity en-us 2022-01-25 22:03:44 UTC 2024-01-24 15:02:34 UTC hello@padlet.com Title https://padlet.com/jessica1220/8lrv8ocafma4xhjo/wish/2012315039 add any details you'd like to describe your image - where, who, what, tell us about process or materials!

For example: This is Han, our Arts Ambassador engagement coordinator! They're wearing a shirt with an image designed by local artist Hannah Ellingwood. They're set up to recruit local art lovers at a Chamber After Hours event at GFA Credit Union in Keene. The photo behind them of the fire truck was taken by a local artist, and selected by GFA in a social media-based local art competition. The images on the other side of them are part of a campaign "the arts are here" designed by graphic design students at Keene State College.]]> 2022-01-25 22:12:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica1220/8lrv8ocafma4xhjo/wish/2012315039 The Local Crowd Monadnock https://padlet.com/jessica1220/8lrv8ocafma4xhjo/wish/2013197991 Supporting placemaking, artisans, and the creative economy through crowdfunding: https://monadnock.thelocalcrowd.coop/]]> 2022-01-26 10:18:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica1220/8lrv8ocafma4xhjo/wish/2013197991 Cover Art for Book https://padlet.com/jessica1220/8lrv8ocafma4xhjo/wish/2013940033 WHIRLYBIRD ISLAND, a murder mystery, is my latest novel, recently published by Plaidswede Publications. I was happy that the book designers used my digital artwork for the cover. The maple tree seed "whirlybird" is clearly visible. More obscured is a tracing of my own army "dog tag" from long ago, which represents a theme in this novel of war trauma. -- Ernest Hebert, Westmoreland, NH]]> 2022-01-26 16:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica1220/8lrv8ocafma4xhjo/wish/2013940033 Karen Fortier - Artist https://padlet.com/jessica1220/8lrv8ocafma4xhjo/wish/2014014300 I'm a watercolorist who is exploring compatible mediums and pushing boundaries. Retiring about a year before the pandemic hit gave me the opportunity to jump back into creating art. It has been a bit of a struggle having everything shut down just as I was getting brave enough to start sharing what I was doing with the world. I am hoping that included in this project will be an opportunity for artists to come together for support, sharing ideas, displaying our art and having sales opportunities to help support what we do.

I just started a few years ago and things were going pretty great before the pandemic. I did participate in a few Artisan Markets, downtown Keene, this past year and those were great. Hoping for more things like that in the future!  linktr.ee/solusstudio]]> 2022-01-26 20:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica1220/8lrv8ocafma4xhjo/wish/2014531007 Robert Seaman's daily "Doodles" https://padlet.com/jessica1220/8lrv8ocafma4xhjo/wish/2014537403 Robert Seaman is an 89-years-old artist, living in Maplewood Assisted Living in Westmoreland, NH. Early on in the pandemic he started drawing a “doodle” a day. Through social media, the doodles caught on. So much so, WMUR’s New Hampshire Chronicle and the Associated Press did stories on the doodles. He  is still doodling every day and will keep going until he just can’t do it any  longer.

50% of the proceeds of the sale of doodles goes to a different local charity each month.

Within a very defined framework they provide opportunities to experiment with a wide selection of materials, from the many varieties of wood, natural materials like animal horn and stone dust, through modern plastics to metals both rare and common. Though the platform itself is small the diversity of styles give the artist an infinite scope of design possibilities.]]> 2022-01-27 11:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica1220/8lrv8ocafma4xhjo/wish/2015645494 Mia Stendahl https://padlet.com/jessica1220/8lrv8ocafma4xhjo/wish/2016341793 miastendahl.com

A pavillion for open air music, theater,, dancing, winter market, etc and can be home to Keene Farmer's Market.

I have participated in numerous Keene Art Walk events and am grateful to the downtown merchants that generously donate their storefront windows for this event.
