Friday Weekend Edition

"Tractors don't always have to be for boys."

- Cassia Kite, SARTQ
 

[Visual Arts]  Art Is Fashion at the SARTQ Print Party
Philip Lederer, Phil.Lederer@srqme.com

The Sarasota artists collective SARTQ will be out in force this Saturday for the 9th annual SARTQ Print Party. Hosted this year at Mandeville Beer Garden, 10 artists from the collective will be on-hand throughout the day, meeting with the community and offering 15 new silkscreen designs ready to be printed on whatever comes their way.

A yearly occurrence, the Print Party provides the opportunity for SARTQ artists to meet their local supporters and for collectors and enthusiasts to get a glimpse into what these local creators are currently working on. It’s also a chance for the curious or uninitiated to get a look inside the screen-printing process as it happens in front of them.

Each participating artist creates new images for the event, and these images are then turned into silkscreens, which the artists use to print their designs on everything from T-shirts to pillow cases and posters and even doggy clothes—whatever the customer brings that can lay flat in the machine and absorb the ink. At $5 a print, attendees are encouraged to get creative with their choices and experiment a little bit. Shirts and skirts may be the norm, but past years have seen everything from underclothes to placemats.

“It’ll be a good time,” says SARTQ artist Cassia Kite, who has provided her own print for Saturday’s party in the form of an illustrated tractor. Not any old tractor, this is a 4020 John Deere, she says, the “go-to tractor” from her days on the Nebraska farm growing up. It’s the tractor they used for just about everything, from feeding the cattle to hauling hay bales—and even pulling the local high school kids’ cars out of ditches. “Tractors don’t always have to be for boys,” says Kite, though she couldn’t resist choosing the Rose Pink ink for that “farmgirl twist.”

Options abound for those looking to sport some local color, including a special Mandeville silkscreen for those wanting to rep their favorite beer garden. From the whimsical illustrations of Zach Gilliland and Javier Rodriguez to the abstract stylings of Laine Nixon and Elena De La Ville or the realism of Tim Jaeger and Jenny Medved, the diversity of the collective is on full display.

The 9th annual SARTQ Print Party is this Saturday, April 29, at Mandeville Beer Garden from 11am–7pm. Each print is $5.

[Good Bite]  Sprout About Town
Philip Lederer, Phil.Lederer@srqme.com

When past visitors have left reviews for The Fountain Kitchen & Wine Bar, they've praised the professionalism of the staff as much as the food, but we’re here to praise the Brussels sprouts. Meant as a side dish but boasting enough flavor for an entrée, the beauty lies in the simplicity of fresh ingredients and stellar pairing. Beginning with quartered Brussels sprouts, Apprentice Chef Ewa Fricks heats coconut oil and garlic in a pan until it reaches near-searing temperatures. Throwing in the sprouts, she’s careful to keep them crunchy but alleviate that raw toughness, before adding a mix of soy sauce and teriyaki sauce to gently caramelize and a dash of sesame seeds. With an addicting tang of sweet and salty, the teriyaki and soy lend the perfect counterbalance to the usually intense Brussels sprout taste, seeping deep into the folds of each layered leaf to create pockets of bursting flavor with each bite. Served over a bed of sesame seeds to give the whole dish a bit of nutty grounding, it’s a healthy indulgence to convert even the staunchest anti-sprout.

[SOON]  PERFORMANCE: Beatsville , May 5 – May 28

The Asolo Rep's Beatsville has its world premiere next spring, as one of the most highly anticipated new musicals of the season. It’s Greenwich Village, 1959 – the world of subterranean coffee shops, goateed artists, turtle-necked poets, and bongo-playing jazzbos. Tragically square busboy Walter Paisley wants nothing more than to be one of the beatniks, but he has no artistic talent whatsoever. When he accidentally kills a cat and hides it in a lump of clay, “Dead Cat” is declared a masterpiece, and Walter a genius.
