Sponsor Spotlight: Naked Art Gallery
Naked Art Gallery is all about making art accessible, which is exactly why we love this place so much and why we’re proud to called Naked Art a sponsor this month.
The folks at Naked Art chose that name because, “we want you to understand and appreciate all of the artists’ work with the ‘naked eye’ without intimidating, ‘highbrow’ hidden meaning.”
Naked Art focuses on functional art and the Birmingham-based gallery has caught the attention of the cable channel Turner South, the national travel guide Eccentric America and Delta Sky magazine. Naked Art Gallery has also been featured in the New York Times, Time Out New York, and on the USA Today Pop Candy blog.
Don’t fret if you don’t live in Birmingham. You can buy funky functional art from Naked Art Gallery online. Here are some items we thought would be great for writers.
Artist Connie Hulsey turned this vintage book in journal! The journal includes blank pages, plus some pages from the Nancy Drew mystery.
This limited edition iPhone 5 cover was designed by Veronique Vanblaere, owner of Naked Art Gallery. Also available for iPhone 4 and 4s and as a wall print.
These earrings by artist Shawna Ross are made from actual newspaper pages, perfect for all you journalistas!
Earrings made by artist Ann Wells from Scrabble pieces. You can even have the earrings made with a word of your choice. Also check out this Scrabble tile bracelet and Scrabble bookmark.
When inspiration hits you’ll be ready to write wherever you are with this pencil necklace by Jeanne Flint.
Birmingham-area writers, join us Saturday, Aug. 3 for Sketches & Scribes. This mid-afternoon mixer will be held at Naked Art Gallery. We’ll enjoy a few snacks, browse the shop, and get inspired by art. In fact, we’re going to have a fun writing challenge at this event, asking attendees to write a poem, a piece of fiction, an essay, or a blog post inspired by a piece of art they saw at Naked Art Gallery. Your work may be featured on this website. Click here to RSVP via Facebook.
