More than 50 artists have been invited to create visual works of the four classic elements – Earth, Wind, Fire and Water – or expand on the concept of the classic fifth element Ether, or invent a new element, or reference the scientific elements in the modern periodic table.

Bob Putnam passed away a few days ago

2011-09-01T22:09:00.001-05:00

Bob Putman passed away a few days ago. Mimi Peterson has written to the blog about him.

Bob was a painter, sculptor, writer, collector of objects and people.

I enjoyed his intellect, friendshhip, and talent. I first met him at

the Artists Breakfast. Later, as members of the 3-D 12 Sculptor Group,

I grew to admire his imaginative sculptural objects. In 2009, still

physically strong, he proposed and curated "Transformations", a

painting and sculpture exhibition at the Aurora Public Works

Commission Art Gallery.

As a member of 3-D 12 sculptor group, I miss Bob's insightful

critiquing. He saw the world in 2-D and 3-D.

If you would like to contact his wife Linda, her e-mail is londontalk@aol.com.

Visitation was

Wed., Aug. 31, 2011

at Lain-Sullivan Funeral Home,

50 Westwood Dr., Park Forest, IL.

Art at America Scores
George writes:
I'm proud to be a part of this event benefiting America Scores, an national non-profit that provides teamwork-based after school programs for inner-city kids using soccer and poetry.

Their annual gala event "Inspired Art"http://inspiredartchicago.wordpress.com/ has local artists creating work based on poetry the children have written, with the finished pieces being auctioned to benefit their programs.

There's some very meaningful and strong messages in the words these kids have written and some great artists donating pieces to
hopefully do them justice (including me!)
