What is That Though? Shows up on Sachem Patch

Last month's installment of the What is That Though? Art Show at Field 10 Studios in Ronkonkoma, which also happened to be the one year anniversary of the first show, ended up on our local Sachem Patch.

I'm actually sort of in this picture, but you only see my foot poking out here behind the guy in the winter hat, who is one of the featured artists, Justin C. Mayer.

The large piece centered here was done by my good friend Joey Damm, and the one with the heart in the skull to the left of it was done by another good friend and newcomer to the show, Victoria Palma.

Unfortunately out of focus, but this was the photo snapped of this month's merch table.  On it you can find some of my cardboard paintings as well as hats and pottery by Reid Kelly. 

My pieces in this show are all the very tiny ones in the lower center of the wall space (it was crowded this month!).  The other collection of small works arranged above left of mine are by Anjipan, the host of the show and another good friend.

These photos were taken by Zachary Reichner for the Sachem Patch, but the info given in the article was a little off so I'll clarify here.  The What is That Though? Art Show is held the fourth Saturday of every month at Field 10 Studios, 952 S. 2nd Street Ronkonkoma, NY.  The show goes from about 7pm-12am, and any artist is welcome to come put up their work, so long as there is space available on the walls when they arrive.  Live musical performances are scheduled at different times throughout the night in the various rooms, and sometimes live collaborative painting as well (if you're interested in performing at one of the shows, contact Anjipan).  Most of the artists have affordable handmade merchandise for sale, from t-shirts and hats to jewelry, prints, and small original paintings.  Guests also enjoy free bagels and ice water, and beer and wine are available for adults. 

WITT? is a unique and inspiring experience every month.  Though there is a recognizable crew of regular artists who show, there are always new faces coming to present work, play music, or just enjoy all the evening has to offer.  If you're looking for a relaxed yet creatively-charged environment to chill out, meet some cool people, and buy/sell/make/see some art, this is the place to be. 

The next What is That Though? is Saturday February 23rd.  Hope to see you there!
