Don't panic. Take a deep breath, count to ten, and relax.

Yes, it's true. Arty Girl will be no longer.

At least, not in this format on this blog.

She will live on in spirit, however, at our new blog, Jackalope Ranch. It's a blog completely devoted to Phoenix arts and culture...think of it as Arty Girl on steroids.

Ursula was so right on with that line.

Especially when it comes to tonight, when there are two art lectures happening at ASU, at the same time.

"POP corn #5," 2010 by Stephen Wood, Cherokee, b. 1980, Acrylic on canvas.

Fridays are glorious.

Especially when art by Andy Warhol and Fritz Scholder (one of my all-time faves...check out the review I wrote about him a while back) can be found in the same place.

Such is the case tonight at NU (Native + You) at the Heard Museum with the opening of "POP! Popular Culture in American Indian Art" exhibition.

You'll see some examples of early pop art by those two gentlemen.

(And, yes, that means there's a Campbell's soup can in your future).

But that's not the only star power this show has to offer.

Clearly, McEnroe can be serious.
You gotta love it when an art event gets some star power. It just has a way of giving things a little more razzle-dazzle.

And thanks to world-renowned artist, Eric Fischl (a former student at Phoenix College and Arizona State University and a star in his own right), tennis legend John McEnroe will participate in a lecture at the Phoenix Art Museum tonight at 7 p.m.

Local artists listen up: you have a chance to design public art for the Pueblo Grande Museum entrance.

And, assuming you make the cut, your budget would be $1,800,000.

$1,800,000

Let that sink in...

Let's party.

ASU is throwing a street party this Saturday.

If you go, not only will you enjoy a heck of a line-up of music, art, and activities, but you get to walk away feeling like a champ.

You see, any dough you spend at the party benefits the ASU Art Museum.

So you get to party in the street and feel like a righteous human being for doing so.

All for five bucks.

Now, that's a sweet deal.

By Nathaniel Lewis
If you happen to have a free schedule tonight, you're going to want to book it down to Tempe for the opening reception of "Bigger Than You" by Nathaniel Lewis.

On second thought, if you happen to have a packed schedule tonight, you might want to cancel. This show is only open until April 9 - that's this Friday - and from what I've seen, it's not an art show you want to miss.
