Please act now. Senate Cuts Arts From Economic Stimulus Bill
Please take a few moments to read this important information and write your representatives.
There are approximately 100,000 nonprofit arts organizations, which spend $63.1 billion annually. Without an economic stimulus for the nonprofit arts industry, experts expect about 10% of these organizations (ranging from large arts institutions like museums and orchestras to small community-based organizations in suburban, urban and rural areas) to shut their doors in 2009 – a loss of 260,000 jobs.
According to the Americans for the Arts, a $50 million investment to the National Endowment for the Arts will provide critical funding to save 14,422 jobs from being lost in the U.S. economy. This is based on the ability of the NEA to leverage $7 in additional support through local, state and private donations, for every $1 in NEA support.
To write your representative, please click HERE. Also of note personalizing each letter more than 50% will get them read.

Happy Holidays!
Happy Holidays and next year be even better than this one!
I hope this finds you all well and happy.
It's been a crazy awesome year and much more fruitful than expected. I was able to travel a little, mostly for exhibitions. I was fortunate enough to be curated into some pretty great shows from Cambridge, MA to DC and even celebrated my first New York show this fall at Daneyal Mahmood Gallery with an incredible group of artists. The studio continues to be a joy and I love that fact that its one place in the world where I'm the boss. I'm starting to make more friends in the DC area, though I still miss family and friends a great deal still in the Northwest. I even try to do non-art stuff once in a while, just to take a breather.
I'm looking forward to next year. Last week I received a letter informing me that I was selected as a Keyholder Resident at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center. (I get to use the studios and print facilities for 5 whole months without rental fees. I do have to come up with my own materials though.) They only select 4 artists per year. I continue to work with the collective of artists also known as Sparkplug sponsored through DCAC Gallery in DC and was also curated into the Washington Project for the Arts annual auction and gala, which is quite an honor. I'm hoping that these opportunities will take me one step further in the right direction.
I'm headed for the snowbound Northwest for the Christmas holidays for much needed time with family and friends and hope you all have a wonderful and prosperous New Year!
Wishing you the best and the brightest,
Jenny

Something other than art....
Its harvest season in wine country and I'm headed home after the show in New York to cook dinner for hungry harvesters at Waving Tree Winery (aka my best friend's winery.) Kimiko's Nebbiolo just got a mention as one of the best 100 wines in the Northwest, which is pretty stiff competition. It should be a great weekend to catch up with friends, get creative in something other than my studio, relax and enjoy a glass or two of that Nebbiolo!
I can't wait to wake up to the sound of the wind in the trees and deer in the pasture and art filled house from all of our friends. Good times. I'll see if I can sneak a few pics of the wide open spaces, unfortunately, I can't capture the fresh air that goes along with it.
Show updates for this week.
The New York show of Meat after Meat Joy opens in just a few days on Thursday night at Daneyal Mahmood Gallery! There will be some special pieces the night of the opening only. If you can make it for the opening, I highly encourage it. Also the essay for the catalog that will be available is now posted. It is a great essay which I think talks about the diverse amount of work eloquently. You can read it here...http://www.daneyalmahmood.com/meataftermeatjoy_text.html
Also, if you are in DC on Friday night, you can purchase my work in the Civilians for Obama fund raiser! See info below for full details.

Duncan Phillips Lecture
Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Two Works in Progress
Thursday, October 16, 5:45 pm
The artists highlight their upcoming works of art: Over the River, Project for the Arkansas River, State of Colorado; and The Mastaba, Project for the United Arab Emirates. The Arkansas River project involves assembling and suspending 5.9 miles of fabric panels horizontally above a 40-mile stretch of the Arkansas River. The Mastaba will be larger than the great pyramid at Giza and will comprise 410,000 steel oil barrels, stacked on their sides and painted in bright colors for a mosaic-like effect in changing light. Following the lecture, Christo and Jeanne-Claude will sign copies of their book, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Over the River, Project for the Arkansas River, State of Colorado.
Presented in the Sant Auditorium; included in museum admission.
Over the River catalogue will be available for purchase in the museum shop

Village Voice Review
Fall Preview: Jesper Just's Schizo Enigma\
Four films at the Brooklyn Museum of Art
By Robert Shuster
Wednesday, September 3rd 2008
'The Meat Show'This is what you call raw art: Heide Hatry, the daughter of a Bavarian pig farmer and an artist who once wallpapered a room with a porker's skin, has assembled a wild survey of the meanings of meat. Central to the show are Carolee Schneemann's notorious sex-with-chickens dance orgy from 1964, Meat Joy, and Zhang Huan's stroll through Manhattan in a muscled costume of dark-red beef. Other trenchant works include Tamara Kostianovsky's sirloin mimicry with fabric, Jenny Walton's painting of an oozing wound, and Betty Hirst's figures carved from frozen roast, which bleed as they thaw. Be forewarned: After staging a similar show, Hatry became a committed vegetarian. Daneyal Mahmood Gallery, 511 West 25th Street, 212-675-2966.
