Last Day for MaOAS Exhibit


Saturday October 16th is the last day for the Open Art Studios exhibit at Overture Center for the Arts in Madison, WI. On display are artworks from an array of local artists...from painting to photography, clay, pencil and more, Overture's walls are adorned with large amounts of creativity.
Many of the works are for sale. Many of the artists have studios (listed in the attist directory for MaOAS). The studios listed in the directory were open to the public the weekend of October 2-3, 2010.
If you haven't had an opportunity to do so yet, take some time to venture downtown Saturday, grab a cup of joe and wander around the galleries at The Overture Center.

FINALLY!!! After all these years, Red Canary now has an Official Logo!


Finally, after all these years...Red Canary officially has a logo! We are most definitely proudly making this announcement. It all began back in August with the acquisition of a new paint truck...

...The truck's colors just so happened to be the perfect backdrop for creating a truly professional looking company vehicle.

So, Shena Blomgren (Red Canary) drew up a quick sketch on the computer--a simple geometric red canary--and shipped it off to Dean Endres at Hellenbrand Signs where he added his creative input and then created the fabulous decals for the rear windows of the Suburban...

...and so the Red Canary Official Logo (the red bird floating alongside this post) was born! (Perhaps I should say, "hatched.")

...Now, off to the printers to get the new business cards designed and printed.








Gallery Nights at Red Canary

We're doing it again--evolving and growing here at Red Canary. Settling into our shop location has opened many doors (a big thanks Marc @ Gutter Helmet and Curt @ Window Depot for encouraging the move and sharing the space).

Most recently, an opportunity arose to showcase the works of local artists. With a new paint job here in the shop happening we needed something to adorn the walls...and on the weekend of the Madison Area Open Art Studios (MaOas) tour, Red Canary featured the work of 4 artists: William Smith, Tiffany York, Nate Dorn and Shena Blomgren (Shena's charcoal drawing "Tree" was on display at the MaOas exhibit at The Overture Center for the Arts in Madison, WI from September 27th through October 16th).

Click here to see an album of select works currently on display during October 2010.

So, come on in, take a look around...our gallery hours are 6-9 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays...maybe you'll find a piece of artwork to take home with you! Maybe a Halloween decoration...'tis the season! Check out the Halloween maracas sitting on the front desk in person...$35.00 is a deal for these festive Halloween treats! We hope to see you soon!
