It was a fund raiser for the organization, and an avenue for local artists and expat artists to professionally exhibit their work. Most Malawian artists rely on selling to tourists that they meed on the streets. Personally, I was impressed with the quality and variety of work at the show.</p> <br class="clear" /> http://www.saintsjd.com/malawi/blog/marissa/wesm_artsfest_november_10_13#comments artwork Sun, 03 Dec 2006 04:03:22 -0500 marissa 168 at http://www.saintsjd.com/malawi WESM Artsfest http://www.saintsjd.com/malawi/image_galleries/artwork/wesm_artsfest <br class="clear" /> http://www.saintsjd.com/malawi/image_galleries/artwork/wesm_artsfest#comments Artwork artwork Sun, 03 Dec 2006 04:02:21 -0500 marissa 167 at http://www.saintsjd.com/malawi Artists Supporting Artists http://www.saintsjd.com/malawi/blog/marissa/artists_supporting_artists <p><span class="inline left"><a href="/malawi/" onclick="launch_popup(146, 432, 282); return false;" target="_blank"></a></span>I have commissioned local woodcarver and artist, Solomon and Gilbert, to make custom, hand carved frames for my paintings. I’m getting ready for exhibitions back home and thought that it would be a nice touch to have frames made in Malawi especially since woodcarving is the main art form here. In addition, it makes work for local artists!</p> <br class="clear" /> http://www.saintsjd.com/malawi/blog/marissa/artists_supporting_artists#comments artwork Daily Life Sat, 28 Oct 2006 06:13:56 -0400 marissa 147 at http://www.saintsjd.com/malawi Shire At Dawn http://www.saintsjd.com/malawi/image_galleries/artwork/shire_at_dawn <p>I LOVE COLOR!!!
