All-Around good guy and AAAlliance co-founder David Grice currently has a collection of newer paintings hanging in downtown Jamestown, at the absolute best, coolest, nicest restauraunt in town, also known as Forte.
If you are anywhere in or near WNY, go have a beer or some dinner and check everything out. If you haven't been to downtown Jamestown in a few years, you might be surprised at whats been going on. Dave's work will be hanging through the end of winter, so you have some time still...

AAAlliance co-founders Angela Caley and Bill Thomas' painting show at EBC in Fredonia has been hanging for over a month, and we have finally gotten around to organizing an opening reception for it. We know alot of people will have family and work christmas parties this weekend, but if you don't already have plans, here's something rad to do.
As always, EBC will have their excellent selection of beers and food, and there will be live music from WNY legend Christopher Bell and our good buddies in the band Green Genes, who are getting ready to leave on a national tour in the new year.
This is a FREE SHOW with no cover charge.
We will be accepting donations of non-perishable food items at the door, to benefit a local food pantry for the holiday season.
come check it out. Ho Ho Ho.

The Salvation Army Anew Center, Chautauqua County's domestic violence and rape crisis service provider, is hosting its first art exhibition during Domestic Violence Awareness Month! In "Art of the Anew: Domestic Violence Awareness Through Creative Art" the goal is to create stories surrounding gender-based violence and how it affects individuals, families, communities, and our world. Let's come together and instigate community wide discussions about the pervasiveness and often invisible nature of domestic violence through creative art.
All artistic media is accepted and must be submitted by October 10th. For more information, Contact Event Organizer Vanessa Weinert for more information. This event is one of awareness; however, artists may sell their pieces with a small percentage of the proceeds going to The Salvation Army Anew Center.
There will be an opening reception Friday October 14th at the Lillian V. Ney Rennaissance Center in Downtown Jamestown. Several AAAlliance Member Artists will be particpipating in this show.

About Us
The Active Artists Alliance is a collection of people utilizing all media to reflect and shape the construction of the world we inhabit. We are a web of communities creating novel and easily replicable and forms of exhibiting art, a group of folks possessing varying interests and experience teaching each other and entering into a process that definition constantly evades, the process of living, creating and accepting responsibility for our world and its continued creation. We invite others to do the same.Starting in 2004, as a way for a few friends to keep in touch with one another, pool resources and begin showing their art, the Alliance has grown into a worldwide organization of loosely-connected artists and friends.
Since then, the Alliance participates in an annual roster of open-air art festivals and gallery shows. We are always exploring new avenues in which to exhibit our work and combine it with any component that would allow us to meet new people and bring others into the conversation of what our work should do.
We are a collective, as defined, of artists and individuals exploring the inroads of two seemingly irreconcilable terms, individual and community. Our work is usually solitary, but our goals often intersect. Although our ultimate visions may differ, we remain compatriots in expression, discussion and action.
