Manifest Equality

Throughout history artists have lent their creative expression to the ideas and issues that shape life in our communities, our country and our world. The MANIFESTEQUALITY Gallery gathers together a diverse array of hundreds of the nation’s most talented visual artists under one roof to celebrate that role and join with our gay (LGBT) friends, family members and co-workers to demand full and equal rights for all Americans.

2010 calendar

2010 Amy Rice Art Calendar

Thirteen individual pages mean thirteen framable prints (12 months and the cover). The design format is very similar to last year’s (all new art though!) with many of the pages having delicate lines that indicate where one can cut out the print in order it for to fit in a standard frame.

The calendar is 10” x 18”, on heavy quality paper printed with super lightfast ink. It was printed here in Minneapolis by Smart Set Printers.

The calendar cost is the same as last year; $45 plus $10 shipping in the US (Please email me for shipping costs outside the US). I will accept payment with a credit card through PayPal; my PayPal “address” is amyr@amyrice.com I will also accept a check through the mail. Please email me at amyr@amyrice.com for me mailing address. I will reduce shipping costs on multiple orders.

the calendar will be available in Minneapolis exclusively at Mitrebox Framing Studio

located at 213 Washington Avenue North.

I will post more photos on my flickr in the following week or so.

New Work by Amy Rice
Bluebottle Art Gallery
415 East Pine Street, Seattle, WA 98122

Runs:
November 1st – 30th, 2009
Free and open to the public.

I have been daydreaming on the shapes of old picture frames, the silhouettes of tiger lilies, bees and chickens, vintage camper trailers, swan paddleboats and true love.

I know, for the first time in my life what I want my future to look like and the work it will take to get there. I've spent a lot of years painting from my past; in this body of work I have made a shift, I am painting my present and my dreams for the future. –Amy Rice

Thank You Soo Visual Arts Center

My solo show, “Don’t Worry, I Have a Map” opened this past week-end in the Soo Too Gallery of The Soo Visual Arts Center in Minneapolis. Here is a photo of me and my art from 2004 when I was a featured artist in the Soo VAC retail space which is now the Soo Too gallery where my show is up now, in 2009. It has been an exceptionally wonderful experience as an artist to have been able to maintain a working relationship with a gallery over these past five years, five years that have seen my work grow and mature. I am so thankful to Suzy Greenburg and all the staff and board members (now and in the past) for their ongoing encouragement and support. Thank You Soo Visual Arts Center!

October Third, Nineteen Hundred and Sixteen

WEIRD!

I was framing this piece for a show that opens OCTOBER THIRD! (but of 2009, not 1916) when I noticed the postmark date. I really hadn't noticed earlier. Plus, it was postmarked in Minnesota!

She Thought She Was A Cat

My Grandpa Ed loved chickens. I have scrap books he made as a child filled with cut-out pictures of chickens (and peaches; chickens and peaches and a really elaborate cake thrown in here and there, but mostly chickens). This photo is from the late 1980’s (nice glasses, right?) and is of Grandpa, me and Chicken Alfredo, just another in a long line of chickens that thought they were a cat. Plus a detail of a new painting, "She Thought She Was A Cat", for my upcoming solo show:
