How Do You Define Infinite Space? [Visual Art]

Craig Hawkins received his B.F.A in Fine Art from Valdosta State University (2001) and his M.F.A. at the University of Georgia (2011). Hawkins grew up in multiple cities and of his art says, “I collect moments of revelation and try to give them away as a drawing or a painting.”

Infinite Space means something different to everyone.  To Craig Hawkins it means a spiritual space and unification. That’s what he has accomplished in his 16 set charcoal paintings. Each 29x43 paper stretched on canvas is of someone he knows and facing what; another person, openness, nothingness, God? The photos are on white area, and open to free access. When asked why they aren’t behind glass Craig states, “ To do that would create a barrier I was trying to break with the art in the 1st place.”

You're welcome: A local list of ways and places to make the most of your gift giving [Christmas]

There's no excuse for failing to support local businesses, artists, writers, musicians and people this holiday season. I've compiled a great list of affordable and encouraging ways to feel great about supporting your city and gifting your loved ones at the same time. There are even events in which you can ENJOY your shopping that are filled with entertainment and good company.

You're welcome ahead of time for the dose of joy you'll get from following the recommendations included below. It's always a great idea to support local artists and businesses when doing your holiday shopping, but Occupy Wall St! seems to be inspiring more people to raise a banner (both literally and metaphorically) to pay more attention to individuals in the community.

Dine Out, Fight AIDS [Food and Dining]

You'll sleep better for more than just a full belly.
Presented by Brown-Forman, you may dine out at a participating restaurant and 25% or more of your bill will be donated to House of Ruth for the support of Glade House. I particularly love the array of participating venues and am going to try and fit at least one lunch and two dinners in today because frankly I sleep better knowing I did a good thing locally on a full belly.

I love food, exploring the best that Louisville has to offer, meeting new people, and of course if I can accomplish all of that in the name of great cause, all the better, (and makes the holiday season feel more important than bowl games which is generally hard to convince me of).  If you’re like-minded, please mark your calendars and plan to join your fellow Louisvillians tonight in support of the 15th annual Dining Out For Life event on Wednesday, November 30, 2011.

EarX-tacy opens its doors one last time [News]

The historic record store opened its doors one last time today from noon-5pm to a line that wrapped around the outside of the store.

The rain couldn’t keep the multi-hundreds of earX-tacy fans away on its final day of business. The historic record store opened its doors one last time today from noon-5pm to a line that wrapped around the outside of the store. I stood in line with everyone else, arriving about an hour before opening. Even after arriving early, I still found myself about 100 people from the door.
