6th Annual Youth Art Exhibit! OPENING TOMORROW!
Evolve Gallery at the 100th Monkey studio is proud to exhibit it's 6th Annual Youth Art Show. This exhibition will feature Portland’s talented artists ages 18 and younger. The First Friday opening will occur on May 4, 2012 from 6-9:00pm and is free and open to the public. There will also be a performance by the local youth band Boys Without Toys, as well as an open mic for youth participation. The show will hang from May 4 - June 17, 2012.
The exhibit will include sculptures, paintings, drawings, and mixed media. In a time when art is being cut out of most school’s budget the studio is eager to provide the Portland community youth an opportunity to display their creative voices. Boys without Toys is a youth indie rock band comprised of four brothers. The group has already released three albums and were featured on Midnight Special Blues Radio in March 2012. In addition to the band there will also be an open mic for kids to read or sing during the First Friday opening. 100th Monkey Studio will also be offering a special opportunity to sign up for youth summer fine art camp at a discounted rate during the evening of the opening. Six years of youth programing have created a solid foundation for the youth camps that empower youth to explore a variety of expressive art forms from writing, visual arts & crafts, art history, movement, music and more! The studio's mission is to expose and guide youth through new fine arts and crafts techniques, while finding their own voice to express their thoughts and conceptualizations.
The 100th Monkey Studio strives to enrich artistic connections within the community by providing a space to create, view and discuss art.

Highlights from Evolve Gallery's Curatorial News
Dear Artist and Art Enthusiasts,
The following are some snippets from my most recent curatorial newsletter. To read the complete edition click HERE I hope this newsletter finds you well. I was so moved at the opening for the February exhibit. So many community members discussing the impact of foreclosures, it is all too close to home for many of us. The art this month is dramatic. In the open studio gallery I find myself walking through the stories of so many young and old. In the main gallery I see personal views into the artists' space. What an honor to be presenting this show to the community. You can still see this show until February 25th when it closes.
In March we'll be partnering with Street Yoga. There was a jury of four choosing the art for the group show, consisting of myself, Jake Barnett of the 100th Monkey as well as Alice Noyes and Jaime Hedlund from Street Yoga. The art is brave in content as artist submitted work depicting the healing power in creativity. We are also excited to announce that at the opening we will be honored with belly dancing with dancers from Marissa Mission, a non-profit youth mentorship program for young women in Portland, Oregon. More details about this and other upcoming shows below!
I look forward to continuing in my work hosting and providing opportunities to inform the community about the amazing work that is being done all around us. If you are an artist please check out our open calls for art. If you know of a non-profit you would like to share with the community send us a message, we believe in the hard work done in the non-profit world and want to support efforts of all.
We look forward to you visiting the studio soon.
With warm regards,
Beth Ann

Open Studio Art Therapy: An Update
I have continued over the years to get many clicks on a past entry about open studio art therapy. It is amazing to look back at it and how my studio and practice have continued to evolve in the 4 years since writing that article.
As our studio approaches it's 6th birthday in a couple months I reflect on the path Joy and I have walked in our work together. Today I continue to work with individuals, families and groups focusing on the process. The clinical spectrum is client driven and broad from less intensive (strengths based supported learning approach) to social skills groups to deeper clinical insightful groups all participating using the art process as the vehicle to find improved understanding and experience of life.
In my professional identity I have found myself wearing three hats primarily. Art therapist, artist and curator (I see my role also as an educator intertwined throughout the three). I am happy to say over the years I feel that the hats have begun to balance nicely between the three. I sit on a committee for the ATCB, which keeps me connected nationally in addition to my local work with the art therapy community. I feel strongly that creating art is VITAL for art therapists. If you are an art therapist you know why I am saying this, but I am sad to say that I don't see the priority consistently throughout our broad professional art therapy community. While I continue to see clients and lead groups I feel it is unquestionably part of my professional identity as an art therapist to continue to create art. If you are an art therapist and it's been a long time since you personally engaged in the expressive arts I urge you to reconnect with that side of your professional identity. While you may or may not show your art, we must live the processed-based expression we tout so boldly in our art therapist aesthetic.
Curating has also been a delight in my work. We proudly state that we are not and do not ever want to be a traditional gallery. We are an open studio that is an extremely active space with new faces visiting daily to take a class/workshop, see the studio/gallery or one of the clinicians who have office in the building. Through our gallery, Evolve Gallery, I have been proud to create many community connections. Each month our gallery partners with a different non-profit group for our show. The art exhibitions may directly involve individuals connected to the non-profit or the show may have a theme that echos the mission of the non-profit. For instance this month the art in the gallery is themed Home, our non-profit partner is We Are Oregon. On First Friday the group was able to connect with individuals who have been impacted by foreclosure and educate the public about their mission. We also are showing an installation created by individuals that participated in a workshop with We Are Oregon. For more information on this show click here. You can also see pictures from the First Friday opening on facebook. Past partners over the years have included Dove Lewis Emergency Pet Hospital, Oregon Women's Caucus for the Arts, Zimbabwe Artist's Project, Create Plenty, just to name a few.
Art therapy is a broad field with much potential. I can not help but urge trained art therapists to stay true to their foundation and claim art therapy in the work they do with clients and in their professional identity no matter where they practice. To be a true advocate for the use of the expressive arts it is imperative that we continue to live creative lives ourselves.
What is your mission as a professional? As an art therapist?
Everyone can live creative lives!
Our studio's mission:
The 100th Monkey Studio will provide anyone, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation, a safe and affordable place to use art materials. We will support each artist in their unique journey of using art as a means of individual self expression. The 100th Monkey Studio will provide the community with art resources while also being a creative place to visit and view art.
An open studio is a studio or work room that is open to all, where artistic or creative work can be viewed and created collaboratively. Artists and non-artists come together in the open studio to celebrate the social act of collaborating.
An Open Studio is intended to foster creativity and encourage experimentation in an atmosphere of cultural exchange, conversation, encouragement, and freedom of expression. Open studios can be traced back to 17th century Paris where artists and other creative intellectuals gathered. Beat poetry can be traced back to originating in open studio settings. Post-WWII New York saw many open studios, one famous one, The Factory, was created by Andy Warhol.
Here at the 100th Monkey Studio, we use our open studio in many ways. Some of them include:
- Offering classes and providing drop-in art making space to the community as well as art materials, many free of charge!
- Special events and activities such as art openings, birthday parties, and much more.
- As a benefit to our members, not only providing space to work on their own art, but also having storage available for their works-in-progress.
- Confidential office space where families, couples or individuals engage with a Master's Level Art Therapist. Our studio also provides clinical art therapy groups to individuals looking for support and personal growth

Oregon Women's Caucus for Arts and Suzan Mayer: A retrospective
Show Dates: 1/6-1/27/2012
First Friday Opening: January 6th from 6-9pm
Live music by Amber Harlan!
Fun for all ages!
Portland, Oregon. Throughout the month of January Evolve Gallery at the 100th Monkey Studio is proud to host two connecting exhibits: The Oregon Women’s Caucus for Art and one OWCA member’s retrospective, Suzan Mayer. The opening event is from 6-9pm on Friday, January 6th, 2012 and will hang throughout the gallery until January 27th, 2012. There will be live music by Amber Harlan. The event is free and open to the public.
In the Lounge Gallery, the artwork of Suzan Mayer, a member of the OWCA, will be featured. This retrospective will feature her past and present work, which Mayer has used to deal with the “strains and complexities” of her life. Mayer stated, "I sometime feel I am balancing my physical, etheric and emotional bodies to each other. It is calming, like meditation or prayer. In this state of mind. One allows patterns to arise from chaos. It feels very healing. Hopefully you too will be able to "let go" and allow your rationality to engage your poetical self when you gaze at my art." Mayer has lived in Portland all her life and since her health crisis her art has changed. She now describes her art as “dark and crunchy, using natural and human-made objects as well as conventional paints.”
In the main gallery, the artwork of several OWCA members will be featured. OWCA is a national non-profit association of professional women artists, art educators, art students and arts administrators. The national caucus was formed in 1972 as an outgrowth of the College Art Association. The Oregon chapter was formed in 1987 to reach out to women in all of Oregon and southwest Washington. The OWCA is committed to: education about the contributions of women, opportunities for the exhibition of women’s work, publication of women’s writing about art, professional equity for all, respect for all individuals without discrimination, and support for legislation relevant the their goals.
To find out more information on any of the studio's upcoming classes, workshops or lectures and to register visit the studio's website at www.the100thmonkeystudio.com. The 100th Monkey Studio strives to create connections within our community by providing a creative place to visit, view art and locate personal resources.

Integrating the Arts Throughout Your Curriculum
This series of workshops have been designed to help elementary school educators increase confidence and enthusiasm when integrating the expressive arts throughout their curriculum. Art can be incorporated into any area of the educational curriculum and can be a valuable tool when supporting learning differences in students. These workshops will offer techniques in using fine art media through experientials that can be applied in classrooms. Each workshop is a weekend day from 9am-4pm with an hour break for lunch. Participants are encouraged to pack a lunch, however there are many local restaurants in walking distance.
Cost: Workshops are $100 per session individually
or $700 for the entire series.
**All art materials are included in the cost.
I. Translation Through Representation
Fine art experiential: Drawing Materials
Saturday, January 28, 2012 from 9am-4pm
Metaphors are created so one can better internally visualize and compare to another concept from which one can draw his or her own conclusion.

Participants in this workshop will explore the use of fine art throughout their curriculum to translate lessons into active representation. Participants will also learn the fine art properties of pencils, colored pencils, pastels, oil pastels and markers in the art experiential.
II. Assessment and the Arts
Fine art experiential: Acrylic Painting and Color Theory
Saturday, February 25th, 2012 from 9am-4pm
The expressive arts can be vital in assessing the progress of a student. The arts can broaden the view of a child's progress and provide the teacher with inner thoughts, concerns, dreams and hopes. In this workshop, participants will explore the importance of student self-assessment as well as come away with strategies and tools to collect evidence to support youth with learning differences. Sources will include Piaget and Lowenfeld. Participants will also explore acrylic painting and color theory.
III. Imagination, Creativity and Technology
Fine art experiential: Mixed media
Saturday, March 24, 2012 from 9am-4pm
Creativity is innate in all human beings. To create something suggests that something is created consciously and voluntarily. In this workshop participants will explore how culture and resources may play into the creativity of all humankind. The importance of process vs. product also will be investigated. Participants will also learn applications to mixed media work, including collage, found objects, drawing materials, paint and more.
IV. Supporting Learning Differences Using the Expressive Arts
Fine art experiential: Water soluble media
Saturday, April 14, 2012 from 9am-4pm
Unique individuals have their own learning styles. In this workshop participants will explore the goals of equitable education and experience methods to incorporate the expressive arts to support any student.

Participants will also learn the range of water soluble media, including traditional tube watercolor, palette watercolor, watercolor pencils, watercolor sticks, watercolor markers and salt technique.
V. Communication, Expression, and Experience: Literacy and the Arts
Fine art experiential: Zines
Saturday, May 5, 2012 from 9am-4pm
The arts can be viewed as language. Often individuals are able to find words for a thought in the process of creation. In this workshop participants will look at the expressive arts in relation to visual, aural, tactile and kinesthetic properties. Participants will come away with expressive art techniques to increase literacy amongst their students. Participants will also discuss working in groups and the importance of pod learning. Expressive art tecniques will include picto-spelling, poetry and zines.
VI. Math and the Arts
Fine art experiential: Perspective
Saturday, June 2, 2012 from 9am-4pm
One who unravels the mysteries of math could be seen as an inventor. In math one must understand the relationships of time, space, plane, point and line.

Participants will also be instructed on basic perspective drawing and applications for elementary school aged youth.
VII. Science and the Arts
Fine art experiential: Print making
Saturday, June 30, 2012 from 9am-4pm
A naturalist approaches the natural world in a very similar way that an artist does.

VIII. Teacher Aesthetics
Fine art experiential: Mixed media
Saturday, July 28, 2012 from 9am-4pm
