Save the Date: Sunday, June 10th, 2012
Free and Open to the Public
Save the date for our third annual Naglee Park Open Studios on Sunday, June 10th, 2012! We have 30 artists participating! This year we will have a new feature: Kids' Art. One of our sites will focus on children's art and include children's activities.
Programs are available from the House of Bagels and The Garage, at the corner of E. San Carlos St. and S. 11th St.
Frances Schwab conceived the idea of a neighborhood open studios tour while walking Naglee Park and noticing the many artist's homes in our neighborhood. The free event's goals are to:
- Display and sell local art
- Encourage a sense of community
- Promote our artist friendly Naglee Park neighborhood

Studio Dake-Morrell
Art is where the heart is!" And our home and hearts are filled with a passion for expression. A song, a camera, a sewing machine, a pen and paper or an easel to enhance are the current vehicles for that expression. Whatever our medium, each piece is an invitation to join us in our world of texture, play, and color.

Ray Kirk was born in Butte Montana in 1960. He has lived in Butte, Libby and Whitehall Montana, as well as Rock Springs and Gillette Wyoming, Boise Idaho, Antioch, Eureka, Modesto and now San Jose California. He has extensively traveled the western United States and visited many of our reservations along the way. He started drawing in Butte when he was 11 or 12 years of age. He has had a fascination for his Native American heritage from a very young age. His grandmother who was of Chippewa descent had a great influence on him. She taught him beading, drawing and painting. Since she passed away, he has concentrated on drawing Native Americans and adding a little of her spirit into every one he draws. Roy decided to put his artistic skills to work creating Graphic Designs for people. He has a degree in Graphic Design. He is able to add a unique style to your graphic design needs.
