The Collective Art Tank
The Collective Art Tank has moved!!!
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let everyone know, that the Collective Art Tank in Asbury Park, NJ has moved to a newer, and much better location. It is still in Asbury Park however they have moved to a street level store front in very busy area of Bangs St and Cookman Ave. For those of you who are not familiar with The Collective Art Tank, I highly recommend you check it out and try and get there sometime. There are a ton of exciting new things in the works that will make it a paradise for artists and instructors.
Here is the official press release:
After three years in Asbury Park, The Collective Art Tank, a collaborative by artist and gallery-owner John Viggiano and international fine art suppliers Liquitex, Winsor & Newton and Conté à Paris, today announced its relocation and expansion to 529 Bangs Avenue in downtown Asbury Park. Fueled by its growing reputation as a communal space where artists can work, display art and teach classes free of charge, The Collective Art Tank’s new storefront location will broaden its exposure, enhance accessibility, and further its mission of supporting the thriving arts community in and around the city-by-the-sea.
In its new space, The Collective Art Tank will welcome artists and artists-in-residence, as well as offer art instructors a free space to host technique-based demos, workshops and classes. Products from Liquitex, Winsor & Newton and Conté à Paris will be available for sampling by the public, as well as for use in classes and demonstrations. Gallery openings and art-driven community events will be celebrated.
“We are very excited to move to our new storefront location on Bangs Avenue. I have had the pleasure of working with the team from Liquitex, Winsor & Newton and Conté à Paris for the past three years to support working artists and increase the accessibility of art classes for our local community and throughout the region. We look forward to utilizing The Collective Art Tank’s new space to heighten our exposure and connect with even more artists who seek a collaborative venue that enables them to take their art to the next level,” commented John Viggiano.
Formerly located in the Shoppes at the Arcade on Cookman Avenue in Asbury Park, The Collective Art Tank’s contributions to the city are varied. This spring, it will welcome the return of Liquitex and Winsor & Newton’s annual Artist Outreach Program Weekend to Asbury Park. The event brings professional artists from throughout North America to Asbury Park for a weekend of product demonstrations and gallery exhibits. The Collective Art Tank also supports the artistic development of its instructors and students. Asbury Park artist and Art Tank instructor Jay Mack has received numerous accolades since his start with the program, including an invitation to paint live during the Arts Materials World® 2013 in Minneapolis. In December, Mack will join Liquitex and Winsor & Newton resident artist Jimmy Leslie in Miami to create a collaborative mural during the highly acclaimed Art Basel event.
Classes and demonstrations offered at The Collective Art Tank are open to the public. For more information about upcoming class schedules, or to learn more about how to become an art instructor at the The Collective Art Tank, please visitwww.CollectiveArtTank.com.

Last first day at SCAD
Today marks the beginning of my last quarter here at SCAD. Today I only had 1 class. Advanced painting. In advanced painting, students are encouraged to pursue a particular body of work that they will work on and develop through out the 10 weeks. I haven’t quite figured out what I’m going to paint yet, but I know I am going to really challenge myself into making some different work. Check back to see what I end up doing. Enjoy
Painting on shoes
Hey everyone,
Wanted to share the finished pair on Converse Chuck Taylors I have been working on the past 2 days.These shoes are going to be given away on the Liquitex Facebook page sometime in the near future so be sure to check there often. I also wanted to give everyone some steps on how to make a pair for yourself.
First I started off by taking all the laces out and taping off the white rubber soles to avoid ruining the soles. Once that was done, I took Liquitex Fabric Medium and used it almost as a primer to stop the markers from bleeding. Once that was dry I started designing and painting the shoes with Liquitex Paint Markers. I had a great time painting these shoes and hope that everyone enjoys them as well!
Governors Island Art Fair
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let people know, if your in the New York area this month, be sure to check out the Governors Island Art Fair. I just read a small article that I linked to the bottom of the page and it looks like its going to be really amazing. Governors Island is already cool enough as it is but add a massive art fair and thats just great. Not to mention, September is always a great time of the year to explore New York. Enjoy
Drafting Table
Hey everyone,
The drafting table in the studio here is my main working space. When I arrived at the beginning of the summer, we put some brown craft paper over the top to keep things clean and have a fresh start. As the summer progressed, the table has developed quite a bit of character and its own personality so I wanted to share it with everyone. I think its a cool off shoot of the creative process. I know the table at my studio has gone through a similar kind of process of spilling, testing, layering, notes and such. I hope you all enjoy it!
Painted Guitar
Hey everyone,
The last few days we got a little creative here at the office and decided to do something awesome. I had an old guitar lying around at home I dont play much anymore so I figured it was a perfect opportunity to paint on it! We used the new Liquitex Professional Paint Markers. I am very pleased with they way they worked on top of the guitar. We ave it a light sanding and went right into painting, now we are going to let it dry and then varnish it with the Liquitex Spray Varnish!
It was a ton of fun giving an old guitar some new life again!
Enjoy
