Jazz at its Best – Ebony Ann Blaze at the WAV

Music, Art and Dance happened at the WAV in a great way Friday May 31, 2013. Ebony Ann Blaze put on a fundraiser to further the education of children interested in a music career. Ebony invited Bonner, Goudelis and Clark to back her up in the most incredible way. By the end of the evening the singer and jazz trio received a standing ovation!

Paintings by WAV artist Frances Spencer graced the main gallery walls, and metal and natural fiber sculptures by WAV artist Catlin Blair Harvey were the backdrop to the musicians. A truly inspiring evening of collaborative art.

WAV’s Matt Hosey at The Mirus Gallery’s “Off the Wall” exhibit in SF

“Hosey’s pieces strut their uselessness through his keen but unfussy attention to  their details. Their merger of strict geometry with a rough circular-saw attack  suggests a convergence, possibly inevitable from Hosey’s generational vantage  point, of minimalist and post-minimalist aesthetics.” Kenneth Baker

Check out the latest on WAV artist Matt Hosey in an article written by notable art writer Kenneth Baker. Read more: http://www.sfchronicle.com/art/article/Off-the-Wall-Darren-Waterston-review-4487411.php?t=6cd8d8e122

“One of the best-known art writers in the U.S., Kenneth Baker began his career at the Boston Phoenix and has been the resident art critic at the San Francisco Chronicle since 1983. He covers a wide range of contemporary and historical art exhibitions.” Oriane Stender from Artnet.com

Congratulations Matt for getting the good word from Baker! We at WAV look forward to following your career.
