First Leap

The proverbial leap of faith...every project starts somewhere...and this one starts like this!

Corvallis Art Beat will have the very latest content for Art, Music, Dance, Theatre and Literature - it's going to be cool...and useful.

Why only Corvallis? Well, my family and I live here for one. Besides, getting a handle on all the latest goings for Corvallis alone will be a Herculean effort!

By the time we release (and you'll see it evolve - it's pretty humble right now...but not for long!) there should be something that actually looks like a web site - with the exception that 95% of everything here will be dynamic...produced by a crack team of Beatniks from the Corvallis area!

After all, don't we all want to spend less time geeking and more time doing the fun stuff!

More later!

Hey there Corvallis people-interested-in-the arts. I hope this Corvallis Art Beat thing catches on!
Sooo, I have a comment pertaining to this holiday season. You all should make a tour of the following three places if you have any Christmas shopping left to do:
Teal Gallery: All regional artists. Lots of cool stuff, from glasswork and wood works to intaglio prints. Affordable art.
Many Hands Trading: Fair trade items from Bali, Mexico, and other faraway places. Nice ikat weavings, inexpensive hand carved ornaments, recycled silk unwoven from Nepalese saris.
Corvallis Art Center: As always, a class act. Support local artists! Great prices on nifty, original textile art. Lots of earrings under 20 bucks. Jewel-like photographs from Italy, Greece. Colorful ceramics.

I had fun just touring these 3 places, just like gallery-hopping.
