This is VINYL TAP -

I know we've been gone for awhile - COVID seemed to have changed everything. But here's an update on our activities: Jim has been forming a 4-piece band that rehearses out here at Klinger Studios (a.k.a Nine Pines) - our multi-acre, multi-use land that's 2 miles from the beautiful little village of Yellow Springs. Although Vinyl Tap is comprised of seasoned musicians who have played in various bands over the years - they just played their first "official," very informal gig together last week - here in Yellow Springs - at our neighbors' annual musical event/corn roast. It was a great community event and a lot of fun. They plan to play out soon; we'll keep you posted! Vinyl Tap is a 4-piece, Yellow Springs-based band that plays an eclectic mix of classis rock, soul, blues and jazz from many eras - '60s -'90s - and beyond! In homage to (and tapping into) some of the greatest musical eras ever - they call themselves - VINYL TAP. You may see and hear them out and about in the Yellow Springs and Dayton areas in the near future. To reach them for booking - please contact Jim Klinger at 937-479-0539 or klingerjames4@gmail.com. You can check back here from time to time for event updates. And, I suppose they'll be on facebook too at some point.

Table Setting Show - a national online exhibit

Here's the first of 3 paintings I had in a recent, national online exhibit run by an old friend/mentor of mine - Bob Burridge of California. The show was called "Table Settings." This painting is an 18" x 24" oil on canvas titled "Matisse Homage."

This one and the next are slight reworks of 2 little 8" x 10" oils on canvas I made awhile back. The one above is titled "My Salmon" and the one below is "My Filet." All these are currently available. Email me if you're interested. Thanks.

YSAC MEMBERS SHOW - "Isolation" - Up through March 31, 2021 - possibly longer...

It's been awhile since I've posted here but I'm back, for now anyway. I hope everyone out there is doing well and staying healthy. Here are the 3 pieces I have in the recent "Yellow Springs Arts Council's Annual Members Show." It's still up, on the web site (see Links We Like) through March 31 - possibly longer. Due to upcoming cancelled or postponed exhibits the members' show may end up sticking around awhile. The theme of the show was "Isolation" - expressions of what we saw, felt, did, dreamed about, etc. - surrounding the COVID-19 virus. Due to the pandemic - the exhibit is all on line and we had a zoom reception. Very strange but it all went as well as we could expect, I guess. I'm looking forward to seeing humans again. If you're interested in a purchase - email me. Contact info. is in my profile area (you need to hover over the email link to see it). Here is more information about the paintings: 1. Chaos Garden, acrylic, 12" x 9", $110, 2. Reality - TV, acrylic, 10" x 8", $80, and 3. Sea Dream, acrylic, 5" x 7", $40.

The painting to the left is part of my current show at Antioch University Midwest, 900 Dayton St. at East Enon Rd., Yellow Springs, OH, 45387. For my Dayton and vicinity friends - it's the big, brick building on the left as you're approaching the Village from Dayton-Yellow Springs Rd. The show is titled New Paintings by Christine Klinger and it runs September 4 – October 31, 2019. I will have some really new work in this show (some are still wet), along with a few that are a bit older.

There will be an Artist's Reception on a 3rd Friday, September 20, 3 PM - 5 PM. I know the time seems odd but AUM isn't open late anymore - ever - so we're hoping to catch folks on their way to the other *3rd Friday events in Yellow Springs.

Antioch University Midwest's current hours are Monday - Friday 8 AM - 5:30 PM. Phone: 937-769-1800. If you can't make the reception perhaps you can see it another time; it will be up for awhile.

New Show at 5th/3rd Center Gallery is Now Open

I have a new show of paintings up at 5th/3rd Center Gallery in downtown Dayton. It's titled "Abstracts - Old and New." You'll see some (not all) of my newer work alongside some (not all) of my older work - with very affordable prices on the latter, on all, really. I love them but I am painting so much that I need to make room in my studio!


Here are some details on the show:

ABSTRACTS - OLD AND NEW
by Christine Klinger
July 1 - August 30, 2019
Artists' Reception is First Friday, August 2, 5 PM - 7 PM
5th/3rd Center Gallery

(Please note: there's a lot going on downtown on First Fridays. And 5th/3rd wants folks to know they can park in their parking garage - accessible from Ludlow).

www.klingerart.com
P.S. I just heard back from 5th/3rd - they say parking is free for the reception - and any time you come to see the art show. Just take your ticket to the security desk on the first floor, tell them why you're there, and the guard will validate it. Also, I meant to mention - my work is on both the first and second floors.


Also showing are cool, 3-D, felt sculptures of Kettering artist Rachael Redolfi. Her show is titled:
"Fibers & Filaments: Needle Felting and 3D Print Artwork
from Rachel A. Redolfi"

I hope you can catch us!
