Literary Arts Publication Now Available at Gallery















Third Wednesday Is Now For Sale at WSG

Check out the back of the gallery this week for a literary arts journal called Third Wednesday. It’s published quarterly.

Third Wednesday grew from a group of eight poets who met the third Wednesday of each month at the Ann Arbor Barnes and Noble bookstore and then at Borders, to read and discuss their own poetry. That group became the first Associate Editors of the journal.

The first issue was published in Fall, 2007. The magazine has become international, publishing literature and artwork from Canada, Great Britain, France, the Philippines, Uganda, Italy, Romania, Ireland, and more.

Editor Laurence W. Thomas is an Ypsilanti poet, teacher, and lecturer who has published 11 books of poetry, fiction, humor, and creative nonfiction and a number of poetry chapbooks.

The art of several WSG members and visiting artists grace the pages and covers of past and current issues of Third Wednesday. We plan to include more in the future.

For more information on the journal, the editors, submission guidelines, subscribing, etc., please visit our website, www.thirdwednesday.org . In addition to poetry and short fiction, we welcome high-quality black and white and, occasionally, colored artwork for covers. See the guidelines on the site.

We’re grateful to WSG for including our journal at the gallery.

Visiting Artist Judith Jacobs Shows “Wall Portraits”














Our vibrant Visiting Artist program at the gallery brings in some outstanding local and regional artists for a 6-month tenure with us. Ann Arbor artist Judith Jacobs is currently one of our Visiting Artists. Here's what she has to say about her recent work:

Three examples from my current series of pigment ink (digital) prints called “Wall Portraits” are on exhibit at WSG.


From a website, I downloaded a number of special Photoshop brushes made from photos of actual worn city wall surfaces. I "paint" with these and layer them with other "grunge" brushes from the website and with my own aging techniques (scratches, etc.) to create new walls. Using more Photoshop layers I position papers and graffiti one might find on real walls. These are taken from scans and from my own photos, some shot from actual paper-and-paste collages (“Wall Portrait 1” in the show) I made previously.
