New Exhibit October 2012: "Voila"

 The new exhibit that will be in Belmont at the Gaston College Kimbrell Campus is:  "Voila" this french word is pronounced Wah-lah.  " Voila" is an epic viewing of  American Artist Carl Childs best intaglio, relief prints and mono prints. This 2D exhibit offers a plethora of unique images, emotions, vibrant colors and texture you are sure to enjoy.  Prints featured for this exhibit include: Edge of Winter & Nature Love.  This body of work is sure to draw you into the power and energy that has beautified this Gaston College Library.  A portion of proceeds from sales will be donated to Cancer Research, Ronald McDonald House, March of Dimes, Boys & Girls Club. Exhibit Dates: October 1, 2012 thru December 2012.  As usual this exhibit will be used for project assignments and or extra credit for my students and any other art instructor or student that wants to also write a paper on this exhibit. I'm very excited about this exhibit and hope to have a nice reception.

Additionally this exhibit will be starting the same day as BATS, Business, Art, Tactic Sales on the Gaston College (Dallas) campus.  Remember, you can sign up in person or go to Gaston College website and sign up online.  ***Special Note: Any "SPECIAL INCENTIVES" for joining the October BATS class are through Carl's Gallery exclusively and are not endorsed or sponsored by Gaston College or any of its affiliates.  There will be a Special Incentive Announcement soon!!!

Project DECLASSIFIED: Chocolate Fountain

The secret is out, I'm currently working on my first Chocolate Fountain.  Yes, a fountain that will have chocolate flowing.  I wanted to share this exciting moment with everyone that has been following my work.  This is a bold and important step in my career as an artist.  I'm looking forward for even more discoveries and the opportunity to encourage others.  This project is about 75% complete with special considerations I'm currently working out.  Thanks to everyone that has spent time viewing my 4 recent exhibits! :)

Sunday September 9th Radio Interview About BATS

Tomorrow the interview for my class (BATS) Business Art Tactic Sales will be on 91.7 FM WSGE between 12 & 1 EST/11 & 12 CST.  This is a blessing and a prime opportunity to let the community hear more about this one of a kind and historical class.  This is my first time on the Roundtable's Sunday Edition and there will be more to talk about in out next segment.

Catch BATS Now

I want to say hello and thanks to all of the supporting cast that has made Business Art Tactic Sales (BATS) a reality.  It was a dream to graduate from school and start teaching winning skills immediately.  I would like to thank the entire media for their support.  A special thanks to the King's Mountain Herald for being the first to share the project key areas of my life and my class (BATS).  The Cherryville Eagle for also sharing my graduation story and (BATS) information.  The Belmont Banner for also sharing my graduation story and publishing a super smile picture of me at Pet Project 2 in Mt Holly(Photo Credit: Mr. Charlie Childs Jr. Carl's Gallery)and information about BATS.

When it comes to the one of a kind course BATS, I recommend taking it now.  1. You will get significant growth and tangible results in your career field.  2. The current plan is for me to teach Fall 2012 and go to ECU in the spring.  This means that the earliest this course could be offered again would be Summer 2013. If I decide to continue to go through the summer working on my degree, it would mean a 2 year wait before the class would be available again.  In summary when it comes to the time, it will be Summer 2013 or Fall 2015 before this class would be offered again.

A little update on the cost, which is currently $62 for this 2012 Fall semester.  I'm currently writing the textbook for BATS and look forward to increasing the amount of information.  This will eventually lengthen the commitment and the cost of the course.  At this time I'm not going to publicly reveal the new information and significant increase in cost for future classes.

Career is moving up into low orbit and it is getting time for me to do some overseas exhibits.  This is something that will be happening when the time presents the optimum opportunity.  This will definitely pull me away from the school environment to a degree. Getting my BFA will pull me further into teaching and jury art.

I'm a high production artist, that produces all kinds of awesome exhibits and things you will love to by.  I'm constantly putting ideas in motion and continuing to win. :)
