Join us on the 21st of August for Gallery Lucid's monthly Meetup.
This gathering is to bring artists together to meet, collaborate, and network in an environment that fosters creativity and collaboration. You are welcome to bring an easel, brushes, pastels, etc. Novice to master, all are welcome.
If you plan to sit and sketch/paint/write, please know we are very limited on chairs/stools and it might be wise to bring what you need.
We should have an LED Black Light if you are working in a black light medium.
We will have some sake, snacks, and we might break out some of the consciousness toys. Please feel free to BYO if there is something special you would like for yourself or to share.
If, for some reason, the meetup gets too large or we run out of libations, Black Star Coop is directly across the street.
If it runs long because we're having fun, so be it. I made it 4 hours instead of two because 2 is barely enough time to settle in to paint. lol
There will be no charge for this meetup, but there will be a jar for donations to help pay for food, drinks, etc.
We are excited to welcome Michael Garfield, host of the"Future Fossils" podcast, as our featured musician for the Surreal Summer Visions show at Gallery Lucid on August 4th at 7pm.
Michael writes music for which new words must be invented. Simultaneously tender and apocalyptic, chill and energetic, intensely technical, yet vulnerable tunes that re-imagine folk and psychedelic rock alike, updating "solo artist with guitar" to suit our age of planetary renaissance.
Marrying the singer-songwriter and electronic live producer, Michael's live sets nimbly shift from ecstatic instrumental improvs to deftly executed fretboard-tapping etudes to athletic songcraft of heart-breaking sweetness – pointing past the genre and techniques to bring his audiences into lush and atmospheric, driving and dynamic spaces spanning folk tradition and the avant-garde.
Axiom is a classically trained artist who has utilized his art in an attempt to reveal the internal elements of subconscious realms for others to experience.
He believes variety and the challenge of "what could be" to be important aspects of artistic courage and in that vein, his artist statement is one sentence:
"The creative potential within is our greatest alley in the search for our own personal truth."

Artist Spotlight - Rosemary Allen
Self-trained and influenced by her time with CoSM, Rosemary's works are an invocation of healing and transformation emanating from mediation and energetic processing
"The Messenger" by Rosemary Allen (2018) 24x48 inch acrylic on linen
Rosemary Allen is an Austin artist who was raised in Black Creek, WI and moved to Texas at age 15. She has been drawing and painting since childhood and has always had a passion for expressing her creativity from painting, to acting, to even designing and sewing her own dresses. She is a self taught painter with no formal training other than occasional guidance from her Mother (Patty Allen) who is also a painter. She attended a Visionary Art Intensive with Alex and Allison Grey in 2014 but has honed her skills mostly from her own trial and error. She currently works with watercolours, acrylics, and oil and has been residing in Austin, Texas since 2013.
Rosemary's mystical work invokes the power to heal and transform. The subject matter portrays a direct reflection of self-work and emotional processing. She views art as a meditative practice, and believes the energy a painting radiates directly affects a viewer's psyche. Each of Rosemary's spirit animal paintings represent a state of transformation and growth as they assist in the progression of maturity and awareness of the human experience.

Artist Profile -Chris Gilmer
Christopher Lee Gilmer:
Chris is an Austin muralist who has been inspired by datamoshing, quantum mechanics, and the over-saturated imagery of life. He creates artwork that explores the psychological effects of the physical mutations of the figure in time as though various realities merge. With a cubist approach, he explores the different outcomes of candid moments as one singular reality (creating multiple moments in a single moment), often blurring the lines between realism and expressionism; sometimes adding primitive line art to the entangling almost parallel poses.

Artist Spotlight-Melanie Farris
Melanie Farris is a visionary artist based in Austin, TX. She began drawing and painting after a friend introduced her to sacred geometry in 2012. Since then she has been on a journey to create visionary art to brighten the world! She is inspired by the mysteries of the cosmos and geometric patterns found throughout nature, just to name a few. Creating art began as a meditative therapy and blossomed into a thriving passion. Her paintings are meant to illicit calm, happiness, and reflection.
She works primarily in acrylics and creates hypnotic paintings intended to take the viewer to the unknown. Her art represents the familiar and that which is alien. Viewers may be compelled to touch her textured creations, inspired by naturally occurring harmonies and patterns in nature. Her paintings are meant to be meditative, eliciting calm and reflection.
Rainbow Simulator by Melanie Farris
You can check out more of her art on her Instagram page or at Gallery Lucid August 4th through the 27th.
Welcome!
...To a very unique healing center encased within an art gallery specializing in visionary, surrealism, and psychedelic art.
