During the Nebula Awards weekend<\/a> a couple of weeks ago, I visited Artomatic<\/a>, an arts festival featuring more than 1,000 artists, which this year is taking place in an office building soon to be demolished. I returned a couple of days ago, because I’d only made my way through 75% of the space during my first two visits, and based on what I’d seen, I felt I should experience it all. I’d enjoyed myself so much during those other visits I was sure I’d find some more gems.<\/p>\n

Here the artist explains her reasons for this series.<\/p>\n

Wendy Risch<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

No heavy message here. Except\u2014happiness. Which is what this wall\u2014and especially the two paintings seen in greater detail beneath\u2014made me feel.<\/p>\n

Whether or not these are to your liking, believe me, with 11 floors of exhibition space and more than 1,000 artists, something will be. Artomatic runs through June 23. It’s worth a visit<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
