Art Stream Live

The first live webcast providing Art Patrons a personal "studio visit" experience without leaving home.
Where the stream of creativity flows.....Artwork, Artists, and Interaction.

A New Era in Art Presentation

With years of experience in art and art marketing, these three artists observed a need for a new approach to reaching art patrons and encouraging new art patrons. In this fast-paced world they realize the difficulty of scheduling an evening to attend a gallery opening, so they are going to bring the art directly to you, right in your home or office, in real-time, with real interaction with each artist through e-mail, live-chat, or by phone during the live web-cast; a fully integrated live experience including a printed prospectus of the show. Please join them in this ground-breaking event. They also welcome your praises, suggestions, and criticisms, to help make your experience more enjoyable.

First Saturdays AT 7:00 pm Central
(unless otherwise noted)

Charles Smith

Charles Smith is a well-known and well-liked Mobile, AL, potter who began his career in the early 1970’s. Smith matured his interest in the arts by earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education with a minor in Pottery from Jackson State University in Jackson, MS. There he served as a Teacher Assistant to the late professor Marcus Douyon. Smith credits Douyon with providing a solid foundation of artisic discipline, skill and vision that would help him grow into the artist he is today. His work was included in the traveling exhibit: “Uncommon Beauty in Common Objects: The Legacy of African American Craft Art.” He has exhibited all over the country, including the National Museum of American Art in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, and the American Craft Museum in New York City. His most recent work uses bold colors such as black, red and tan.

David Simmons

David L. Simmons has been an artist for more than four decades, placing artwork of many mediums in countless homes, businesses, galleries and museums here and abroad, and garnering over 250 awards. Simmons earned a Bachlor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of South Alabama in 1977 and began exhibiting professionally in 1976. Recently his work has been executed in oil paints on canvas or wood panels. As always, imagery and inspiration are founded in an appreciation of his surround-
ings. Simmons comments, "I enjoy exploring that narrow territory between the figurative and the abstract where things are necessarily reduced to their essence.". Simmons' unique vision of the world is still expanding and developing.
The artist keeps an active presence on Facebook and his own website at www.simmonsfineart.com

Kurtis Thomas

Kurtis N. Thomas has an imaginative style and un-
usual, delightful perspective that can place ordinary (or not so ordinary) subjects in a world just a few steps removed from reality. These walks into the "looking glass" are always composed with a serious eye for the best design possible, and may require from 20 to 80 stencils. While most silkscreen artists use only a few stencils with large areas of flat color, Thomas strives for texture, form, value and a wide range of colors achieved only by the use of multiple stencils and stenciling techniques. This results in a true "painterly" effect, and over the years has given him the reputation of a master in his field. Thomas also works in several other mediums with equal expertise. Thomas has be working in watercolor and acrylic recently, so be sure to watch for new work on the webcast!
