March Madness….I couldn’t resist a cheesy reference. It has been pretty busy lately though. I’m currently getting ready for two exhibitions for the month of March. First off, I will have a small collection of work hanging at Henry’s Coffee Bistro on East St. downtown Indianapolis for the entire month of March. This is a great little local coffee shop that you should definitely make the time to check out. Plus, they always have a new artist showing work in their space and I happen to be one of those this month.

I will also have work in the Benjamin Franklin Gallery at the Wheeler Community Arts building located in Fountain Square. This unique set of new work is part of a collaborative show with fellow artist Tre Reising. It will contain the largest collage works I have ever created plus the work being in a non-traditional format. This show is part of First Friday events and the reception will be Friday March 4 starting at 6pm. Be sure to come check out this unique collaboration and chat a bit.

“This is a collaborative effort between local artists Tré Reising and Nathan Monk. Together they create a new perspective on space and presentation of artwork. As Reising redefines the boundaries of the straightforward gallery space, Monk creates content with site specific paintings and collage which obey the new forced perspective.”

I also just recorded a video interview for City360TV’s Art Beat show. That should be online here shortly and I will post a link when that becomes available. It was great to have the chance to talk a little about my art and that it will reach a wider audience than a I normally used to. I am very excited for these opportunities this month and there is still a lot to do. So it’s upward and onward….
