Check out some of Mark's latest work!
Events in July
In our newsletter last month, we stated that Cannibals Gallery would have a presence (with four artists) at the Cracked Pots Art Fair at McMenamins Edgefield. That has changed...we will not be there this summer.
Summer Snapshots
Jason Berlin (his art work and studio) and friends... Mark Counts and Pammela S.
Sylvia Miller...new work
David Gustavson...street artist...Last Thursday-Alberta Street
Greg Hanson...gleaning for art materials at the Metro Transfer Station (city dump)
Ah, summer vacation is here and of course that includes artists as well. It is a harder to create work in the studio, basement, garage or patio when the garden is so lush with promise. The warming temperatures can set us all on paths to the compressed enjoyment of our Northwest outdoor pleasures. Many of the Cannibal artists could be found on the streets of Alberta for the First Friday event, and several are headed out to a summer series of lectures at the coast. In July, some of the Cannibals will be in attendance at the Edgefield Lodge Cracked Pots Art Fair. This is the first year that the organization permitted professional artists, who do not create art solely for the garden, to participate. We are very excited to be included in this event, and hope that it can come to be an annual exposure for us. Additionally, GLEAN will have a presence at the show, where a representative from Cannibals, Greg Hanson, who was one of the five finalists chosen from a citywide search, will be in attendance with information about his gleaning work (for art materials) at the Metro Transfer Station (the city dump). In the area designated for Cannibals, there will also be the work and musings of Janet Julian, Sylvia Miller and Darlene Schaper, as well as Greg Hanson.
The show has a segment which calls for all artists to compose a work which could be revolving around the theme "Containers." It would be terrific if both patrons and artists who are in the community of the Cannibals Gallery could find the way to submit a piece for the viewing. The message of recycle, local and contemporary is one which is always needing to be massaged into the public consciousness. If the work is judged in the first three winning totals, from a popularity vote by attendees, it is awarded a cash prize in addition to being sold without commission. Check the regulations and rules put forth, and, please, consider showing a piece. Check out the Cracked Pots website here. The Cracked Pots Art Show:Tuesday, July 24

Cannibals continues to search for a permanent location, and is happy to hear from those of you who have sent in suggestions, and addresses of possible spaces. Hopefully, everyone is set to have a wonderful summer of expanding vision, and that Cannibals will be in a more permanently accessible address coming soon. Cannibals Gallery once again sent several artists to the annual CAP auction in Portland. Big congratulations to those twelve artists who participated this year!

Featured Work for March
Jason Stewart Steve Winkenwerder Anthony Redelsperger GLEAN: Make Art-Not Landfill
Cannibals artist, Greg Hanson, was recently accepted into the GLEAN program (along with four other local artists). GLEAN is in partnership with Recology, a company that manages a variety of resource recovery facilities. The artists chosen for this six month program are given daily access to the Metro Central transfer station to glean materials and treasures to use to create art. Each artist is paid a stipend, and is required to create a minimum of ten pieces of art to be sold during an exhibition in September. Jen Fuller was Cannibals recipient of this grant last year. One of Greg's first sessions in the recycling bay, dismantling an old player piano for parts:
