Press Release: Opening Party
OPENING PARTY
For North Shore Artist
Kristi Beisecker is the North Shore’s newest member of the artist community – she is a graphic designer by trade but specializes in Kirlian Photography – photograms made with electricity. This photographic process is originally used as a scientific process, seeing its’ potential Kristi reinvigorated the process to make it compatible with traditional darkroom processing. She graduated from a small liberal arts school in Pennsylvania in May 2012 and has been working on her art and design career for the past year. Since March of this year, she has been exhibiting her work throughout the region, nationally and internationally. As she gains exposure and a general appreciation for her artwork from the art and photography community, she has sought out studio space to pursue her art and design. In June of this year she signed onto a new artist community project in Beverly. This project is called, Cabot Street Studios and will provide a creative classroom for the Northshore – the artist studios that are located there will be teaching their craft to the community. Kristi has been exhibiting her work in Boston, Ma; New York City, NY; Montreal, Ca; Pomfret, Ct; Washington, DC; Naperville, IL; and Beverly, Ma.
In honor of her success thus far, Kristi is putting on an ‘Opening Party’ for her art and design studio. The party will be Tuesday, November 12 7-10pm – located in Studio #19 at 222 Cabot Street, Beverly, MA. During the event, black and white cocktails will be served as well as food, lounge music will be playing, an art demonstration and a chance to socialize and ask questions. Cocktail dress is preferred – but not necessary. We look forward to seeing you there!

Studio Updates
My studio is finally ready to begin move-in process and the decorating process. I’ve set a date for a studio launch and plan on advertising to some of the art studios in Beverly. The launch won’t happen until sometime in November so it would give me some time to plan and things like that. Doing some research on launch parties and designed an invite. It’ll be a great way to say to the Beverly art community, “hello world, I have arrived!” Haha. Excited.
I have pretty much gotten an internship at We Party Boston in Malden. I haven’t gotten the first project yet, but it looks pretty promising. I really hope this takes off too.
Darkroom Supplies
Friday evening I am going up to Dover, NH to pick up a darkroom listing. All of this for $75!! I couldn’t believe my luck when I found this and that it was still available – I’m hoping the enlarger works.. if it doesn’t all of that minus the enlarger is still a good deal. It’s a trip, but if it’ll save me a boat load of money then it’ll be worth it. So stoaked for this.
Today, I went and picked up my studio key! FINALLY we can move in and set things up. Excited about that. My dad and I are planning on making the trip to Beverly on Thursday to move some of the stuff in after I drop off my prints for the “A Celebrations of Materials” exhibition in Boston, MA. Then we will make a trip back to Dick Blicks for the reception.
Studio Findings #4
So I was only able to fit in two tables it turned out because the legs turned out a lot bigger than expected. It was a nightmare trying to get to the place though and I won’t go into details… and the people weren’t very nice about me only able to take two. I know I originally said all, you never know when it comes to furniture and there was just a lot of miscommunication and frustration…but I finally got workspace! At least one table should fit in the darkroom I’ll be using it for.
This concludes my search for furniture for now. I have gotten everything I need and now I have to go get my art supplies.
Studio Findings #3
I’ve been trying real hard to not spend a whole lot of money on furniture for my studio. Several reasons… A) I may move out before my lease is up…. B) The money spent on furniture can go into my rent and art supplies. This pick-up is labeled number 3 because last Friday I went into Burlington to pick up some storage shelving for my studio as well and a few weeks before that my mom and I went into Cambridge awhile ago and got a tall black bookshelf for it.
I’ve been on the lookout since then for a desk – something that was large enough that I wouldn’t need another one… I finally succeeded! I’ll have to have my dad help put it together, but since it was free, that was one hassle I didn’t mind. A lot of the desks that people tend to throw out are the solid wood kind, which is good for longevity, but for my needs something that is more modern like the one I got was fine. On Sunday when I was looking at work when it was slow, I found a listing that had THREE tables of the exact kind that I wanted, but someone beat me to it 🙁 so sad. I shall prevail! Hehe 🙂
Cabot St Studios Photos
Here are some pictures of my studio-to-be. The place it is located at is going to open in July and I have to put together a class list and supply list. Click the photo to be taken to the facebook album. The room has a sink, as well as a backroom that could be turned into a darkroom. I’m excited.
Cabot Studios
I’m meeting someone on Monday to look at studio space in Beverly. There’s a deal where if I teach a class the class I teach pays for the studio space. I haven’t decided what class to teach. Yet. I think a class a week should be good. Don’t want it to be too time consuming. But we’ll see on Monday. 🙂 Here’s the information: http://www.cabotstreetstudios.com/index.html
