La Mesa's Biz Center Art Presents 'Inside Out,' a 1970s Themed Art Show

The show's opening reception will be Saturday, Aug. 25 at 6:30 p.m. The show will run through Oct. 7.

Biz Center Art of La Mesa recently made the following announcement:

Biz Center Art, the art gallery in residence at the La Mesa Biz Center, is featuring art based on the Biz Center’s funky architecture for its upcoming August show.  Biz Center Art is going '70s for its juried show “Inside Out,” with an opening reception from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 25.
 
Biz Center Art gallery manager Midge Hyde said, “We have a very nice arrangement with the La Mesa Biz Center so we’ve decided to embrace the '70s architecture, inside and out, it in a big way.” 

Hyde says she’s making a that looks and feels like the 70s, art that includes the Biz Center Art building, and anything else “up to and including painting on black velvet.  Our jury is going to rate black velvet paintings very highly and we've dedicated a Black Velvet Painting Wall.”
 
The 70s theme won’t stop with the art.  People are asked to come to the opening dressed in their 70s best, a DJ will spin 70s classics, and Hyde is furiously searching for the fondue pot she got for her wedding.

“The jury’s still out on that one but they are looking into any and all interesting '70s things we can do for ‘Inside Out’,” she said.
 
Located at 7317 El Cajon Boulevard in La Mesa, Biz Center Art shows the work of local artists in bi-monthly juried exhibitions.  Artists submit their art, at the gallery, to a jury of artists and art specialists.  Art chosen for each show is hung for two months and seen, appreciated, and often purchased, by people who work at the Biz Center or come there for meetings and events.  Opening receptions kick off each art show.
 
Biz Center Art and the La Mesa Biz Center welcome art seekers during business hours, during evening art openings, and by appointment.
