I recently designed this logo for White Whale Studios & Gallery (OBVIOUSLY!) in conjunction with promoting the Grand Opening, coming up next Friday (October 2nd) from 6-9pm. And yes, I know that whale is black. It’s called artistic license, people.
If you’re in the Greenville/Spartanburg area (and even if you’re not), you are most cordially invited to join us and the rest of the Resident Artists for a fun evening of food, drink, being merry, and of course, lots and LOTS of art!
For more information, links, and images of the artists’ work, check out the Facebook event page. And while you’re at it, become a Fan of WWS&G on Facebook if ye feel so inclined.
Press Release:
Unbeknownst to most of Greenville, a greatly neglected piece of the Historical Monaghan Mill Village has been undergoing an amazing transformation. A beautiful old home built circa 1890 has been restored and repurposed as the White Whale Studios & Gallery.
The Studio’s name hearkens back to Melville’s infamous tale of a determined white whale outwitting the relentless Captain Ahab, just as the artists, within the walls of this old white house, battle the odds to pursue their work and life’s calling.
The two-story house features a large welcoming front porch, a main gallery downstairs and seven individual working studios upstairs and down. Located three miles from downtown Greenville off 183, it is only one mile from the flourishing Pendleton Arts District.
Friday, October 2, 2009 from 6 pm to 9 pm, the White Whale Studios & Gallery will have its grand opening and the artists, whose work ranges from fine art and pottery to illustration and photography, will have their work displayed and their studios open for exploration.
