Passion Works would like to welcome Amanda Brown to our team!

Amanda
Amanda attended High School in Cincinnati and has worked for the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden. She comes to us straight from Ohio University where she attended 2009-2013 studying Fine Arts, Anthropology and French. Her likes are design, painting, photography, traveling, skiing, dreaming, reading, exploring, speaking French, being outside and color.
Amanda was interning at Passion Works when we hired her as a Production Artist but unfortunately for us she will only be with us for a few months since she is moving to France in the autumn. I guess she really does want to speak French. Amanda was so good as an intern that we decided we had to have her as part of our team even if only for a while. Viva la France!

Featured Fan of the Month: Jenna Dill

Jenna

Jenna Dill studied Marketing and Business Administration at Ohio University and now is the Marketing and Sales Manager for the Athens County Convention and Visitors Bureau. She long has been an advocate for Passion Works. Whenever a film crew comes to town to feature Athens, Jenna suggests that they go to Passion Works. Jenna is also serving on the Auction Committee for the “Passion Works Funky Formal Fine Art Auction” & Dinner. Thank you so much Jenna.

Jenna sums herself up by saying she is obsessed with her family, job, traveling, thunderstorms, taking pictures, food, running and dogs. She proclaims “Life is good!” Thanks to great community leaders like Jenna Dill, we can also say “Life is Good” at Passion Works Studio!

Tie One on for Father’s Day

Ties

Ties have become the traditional gift of Father’s Day but there is nothing traditional about Painted Passion Works Ties! We have two kinds of artistic Passion Works ties…we have wonderful, wild, crazy, bold and bright painted ties created at Passion Works and we have beautiful, mellow and fun ties created at ATCO; perhaps one for Friday night and one for Monday morning? Not only are the ties a sweet deal but for every tie you buy before Father’s Day we’ll throw in a select free passion works art tie pin!

Ohio Brew Week and Passion Works Studio: Drink Your Favorite Beverage in Style

Brew-Week-Pints

Last year Ohio Brew Week (OBW) donated proceeds from an Ohio Brew Week poster auction to Passion Works. This year they wanted to work even closer with us. Ohio Brew Week contracted Passion Works to etch pint glasses for them on our laser. Each pint glass is adorned with both the Ohio Brew Week logo and a choice of four different Passion Works art designs including the “Penguins” by Carly Holland and Chilean Artists, the “Passion Works Guy” by John Marquis, a ship called the “S.S. Marquis” by John Marquis and “Thunder Bird” by Marilyn Tucker.

These pint glasses are available at Passion Works and will be available at fine drinking establishments throughout Athens. They sell for $7.00 each with Passion Works and Ohio Brew Week splitting the profits. Collect all four!

Art and Music on the Bricks
June 29
Passion Works will be surrounded by art on Saturday June 29. The Athens Area Citizens for the Arts and Ohio Brew Week have teamed up. There will be music and beer on Court Street between E. State Street and Carpenter Street. These events will run between 12 noon and 9 pm

The block of E. State Street in front of Passion Works will also be closed as art vendors set up for the day showcasing a wide variety of art including paintings, sculptures and carving, jewelry and much more. So come on down to Passion Works, enjoy the arts, music and more. Our parking lot will be inaccessible due to the street closings but there will be free parking in the Athens City Parking Garage at 8 E. Washington Street.

The Arts Hop and the Art and Music on the Bricks are initiatives of the Athens Area Citizens for the Arts in collaboration with Ohio Brew Week. If you are an uptown business and would like to participate in the Arts Hop or if you are an artist and would like to vend during Art and Music on the Bricks, please call Wayne Savage at 590-6218. Passion Works indirectly benefits from these activities.
