Artist of the Week: Justin Thor Simenson

JUSTIN’S BIO:

I have always been drawn to photos. The idea that you an capture a moment in time that will never happen again has inspired me to become a photographer.

I used a Nikon Coolpix 4300 for two and a half years. I was pretty happy with it for its convenience, but wanted more. I currently use a Canon Digital Rebel XT. I am really happy with this camera. I have 4 lenses a Canon 15-55mm, Canon 75-300mm, Cannon 50mm 1.8, and a Lensbaby 2.0. I also have a Canon AE-1 film camera with several lenses included a 50mm and 75-200mm.

My goal as a photographer is to share the beauty of the places I have been with others. I print my photography on a customer by customer basis. This is to insure that each customer receives exactly what fits their own personality and budget. I also like to get to know each person that has one of my photographs.

Update on New Building

This morning we picked up the keys to our new art space!! The working name of the new space is ‘Chroma on Roma’. After measuring all the studios, we have set the rents according to size. You can see a list of all the studios available on the Studios page. The rents will vary from $150 to $400/month. There will also be a few spaces opening up at the Central location, because some artists plan to move with us to the new building. We are not only a traditional artist space, we are open to writers, poets, teachers, photographers, architects, graphic designers, videographers, musicians(as long as you aren’t too loud), any creative field really!

If you would like to see studios available at the new building, we will be there to show studios tomorrow, Tuesday the 7th at 10 am and 5:30 pm. The new building is on the NE corner of 1st and Roma in downtown. The entrance is on the south side of the bldg. If neither of those times works for you, please give Paula a call at 259-6320 to set up another more convenient time, or if you have any other questions. To see the spaces available at the Central location, please call for an appointment.
