Announcing the Artist, Inc. professional development program for artists, starting in April, 2010.
Did you resolve to “do something about your career” in 2010? Artist, Inc. may be just what you are looking for!
A recent study conducted by the Colorado Council on the Arts indicates that the “Creative Sector” accounts for the 5th largest employment sector statewide, and that Colorado ranks 5th among all states for largest concentration of artists. That’s a lot of artists for a state ranked 22nd in the US for overall population!
Though artists are generally more educated than the overall workforce, artists typically earn 26% less than the average among other workers and 67% of artists must supplement their incomes by working at other jobs. TOSA’s Artist, Inc. program wants to help change those statistics and help you to elevate your art career.
Through this unique ten-week program (April—June, 2010), participants will learn from artists and business professionals about relevant and timely topics that will help and inspire you to move your artwork and career to the next level.
Interested in learning more about the program or interested in applying? Please send an email with you name and phone number to mlaz@theothersidearts.org

We now have a blog that is updated often with information about classes, exhibitions, and work by members as well as relevant posts on fine art printmaking.
Saturday March 7 10 am – 3 pm
Tuition: $100 supplies included
This process is similar to traditional intaglio with the exception of the plates used. We will use drypoint needles to carve linear images into a small sheet of plexiglass. Ink is then spread onto the plate and rubbed into the lines and printed using an etching press. We will also create the illusion of multiple plates while still using only one with the addition of chine colle and monoprinting. This process is suited to imagery that is very linear in nature with less emphasis on solid areas of tone.

Linoleum Cut Class at Red Delicious Press
Saturday Feb 28 10 am – 3 pm
Tuition: $100 supplies included
This is a subtractive process where you use a sharp tool to gouge out of a linoleum plate the areas you do not want to print. Wherever you have cut away the plate will print white (or the color of the paper) and the areas you have left untouched will accept ink and print on your paper. This is a very graphic process that lends itself to bold imagery. The creation of tone is possible with the addition of hatch marks. This class covers plate preparation and cutting, image generation appropriate for this process, and paper choices.

A painterly process where the artist applies ink onto a plastic plate and then transfers the image to a piece of damp printmaking paper by running it through the etching press. This is a process that lends itself to spontaneity and painterly mark making. This class will cover the basics of ink and water based monotype printing including papers, plates, choosing the type of ink suitable for your imagery as well as an introduction into using stencils with monoprinting.
