Exciting news!  The Billboard Art Project photographed my entire series of "Greetings From Tampa" drawings on the electronic billboard in Duluth.

Colorado State University-Pueblo Artist-in-Residence

Monday marks the first day of classes at CSU-Pueblo where I am currently an Artist-in-Residence / Visiting Assistant Professor for 2011-2012.  I'll be teaching a seminar in performance, drawing I, and an art appreciation course - I can't wait!  I thought I'd post some photos of my new location:

The Art Department's sunken courtyard

I walked in the building, to see these displays about me when I arrived!  Kinda surreal.

I like to go eat lunch by this cool fountain.

Tampa's Neighborhood Watch: A Projection Walk

Neighborhood Watch will take place Saturday, August 27 in Hampton Terrace (link to map) a division of Seminal Heights Neighborhood in Tampa FL. The walk will begin at 1400 Comanche, and wrap around to 1221 Powhattan. This is a one-night-only art exhibition running 8:30 PM - 11:30 PM. Admission is free.

For one night only, Hampton Terrace is transformed into an alternative exhibition space. Various forms of Fine Art will be projected throughout the neighborhood.  Over 25 local, national, and international artists will be featured in this exhibition.

Featured Artists include Felici Ancatar, Toni Danette Billick, Jaime Bird, The Church of Holy Colors, Michael Covello, Vanessa Diaz, JD Durham, Stephen Ellis, Dave End, Kale Roberts, Robb Fladry, Adam Hill, Aaron Hutcheson, Reiko Kawahara, Vincent Kral, Sarah Krupp, Culture Laboratory, Ben Lewis, Chalice Mitchell, Desiree Moore, Ellen Mueller, Brinson Renda, Selina Roman, Noah Simblist, Kirk Ke Wang, and many more.

Both my Practical Preparedness videos and the Book of Enid will be projected at this Neighborhood Watch.  

The Neighborhood Watch was originally designed after the classical all American drive-in theatre, and aimed to share art by creating an accessible space outside of the traditional museum setting. For the past five years this event has been exchanging and projecting artwork in various neighborhoods and in multiple countries. Participating countries are Bhutan, Australia, France, Mexico and cities in the United States including Tampa Florida. The Neighborhood Watch is a global simultaneous one-night event of projected art, performance, and sculpture brought to your own lawn.

The Billboard Art Project - Duluth MN

Have you heard of The Billboard Art Project? 

The Billboard Art Project LLC is a nonprofit organization that acquires digital billboards normally used for advertising and repurposes them as roadside galleries. Projects are held in cities all over the country and are open to all individuals and groups who are interested in participating.

Types of work that may be displayed include images created specifically for the billboard as well as images of previously made art adapted to the format. No two Billboard Art Project shows are alike; each city features new work.

My recent series, Greetings From Tampa, will be featured on a billboard in Duluth MN on

Saturday, August 20, 2011 at 12 a.m. to

Find the billboard at the intersection of

See this list of all the artists being shown on the Duluth billboard.

My work will be up for about 4.8 minutes at a time (36 stills - 8 seconds each), and they say it will repeat three to eight times during the course of the weekend.  

If you or anyone you know is in Duluth, I would LOVE to get a video and/or some still photos of my work up on the billboard.  Shoot me an email if you think you can help: ellen@ellenmueller.com

Thanks!
