Did you attend Arts Walk and have great pictures to share? Click here.
This year's ARTS WALK, sponsored by Main Street Morgantown, Monongalia Art Center (MAC) and Arts Monongahela, will take place on Friday, October 14th in downtown Morgantown. Arts Mon and MAC are information points for the Arts Walk-- you can get the inside scoop on where the artists are and what’s happening downtown. Arts Mon is located next to Huntington Bank on the corner of High Street and Pleasant Street. Monongalia Arts Center is easy to find, on the corner of High Street and Kirk Street. Participating businesses and places with artists are marked by lit tiki torches.
Plan the perfect Friday night. From 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. you can stroll through over forty downtown businesses and see artwork from local artists. As you stroll through downtown collect four fantastic bookmarks featuring Morgantown Area Artists. These artists are culture-makers who challenge the status quo and advance our region’s Arts… plus they are your neighbors. You can find them at Arts Monongahela, MAC, the Main Street Offices and pretty much every other business downtown! Featured Artists for 2011 are Lynn Lysick, Judy Raese, Tim Terman and Randy B. Williams.
Enjoy music at numerous locations and a variety of unique dining choices.

Bryan Troast & Alexandra Ries - Metal Wire, Beads, Stone
We are a current WVU student (Alex) and a recently graduated WVU Alumni (Bryan). We make Medieval-Inspired, Jewelry, Amour, and Clothing. We create unique chainmaille items by hand. The majority of our items are metal jewelry made by interlinking metal rings and using stones, beads, and ribbons to accent each piece. It all started as a hobby, a way for the two of us to spend some quality time together, and has blossomed into a true passion for creating unique pieces of wearable art!

WVNano Initiative - Microscopy images/digital photography
"Imaging the Invisible" - This collection of microscopy images, including work done by researchers and students from WVU and the WVNano Initiative (http://wvnano.wvu.edu), represents the cutting edge of science and technology. Nanoscience includes studying matter at such a small scale that even visible light and traditional optical microscopy/photography cannot examine properties and structure. Using special techniques, the world of matter invisible to the human eye is brought to life and open to scientific and artistic interpretation.

Mike works in oil, acrylic, encaustic, and mixed media. He received a BFA from WVU. Much of his artwork reflects a deep appreciation and respect for the interrelated and complex systems of nature and society.

As a native West Virginian, the natural world has always influenced my work. This creativity has been passed to my friend Jen, and together we create jewelry from natural elements.
