Nancy, George and Bess 4.3.08 - 4.6.08

Well my good gal pal Sarah Jane asked me about a month ago if I would like to co-curate an art show with her, I accepted. We were given a dusty, dirty and vacant old bar in Deep Ellum as a venue. The moment I saw the space I got excited. I have no idea why but, I love transforming a space for the sake of Art. There is nothing quite like it or quite as exhausting. At the end of all the cleaning is the reward! One heck of a Show. Here it it...

Nancy, George and Bess -
A Tough Girl's Art Show in Deep Ellum

Nancy, George and Bess is an exhibit that features local women artists working in all media and in all stages of their career. Named after the three lead female figures in Carolyn Keene's Nancy Drew series, Nancy, George and Bess encapsulates Dallas' own female talent in a cool Deep Ellum property, located at 2824 Main in Deep Ellum as a part of the Deep Ellum Arts Festival. From artists to have never had a show to artists who are collected widely, Nancy, George and Bess allows all stages and ages to emerge and share the same gallery space. Confirmed artists: Zanne Hochberg, Angela Faz, Erica Felicella, Andrea Roberts, Jayme Nourallah, Ryann Rathbone, Kate Nelson, Kim Cadmus Owens, Alison Welsh and Cathey Miller.

Nancy, George and Bess is curated and produced by Sarah Jane Semrad and Erica Felicella. The event is presented by Deep Ellum Foundation and Deep Ellum Association.
