Friends & neighbors,<\/p>\n

\n

In somewhat of a planned coincidence with Fall Gallery Night on Fri., Oct. 2<\/a>, the members of Syntropy Co-op invite you to stop by for our unveiling of….<\/p>\n

\n

The Stump at Syntropy<\/p>\n

Syntropy Co-op<\/p>\n

812 Jenifer St.<\/p>\n

5:30 – 8:30 pm<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Since Syntropy Co-op lost its backyard tree to a storm over two years ago, Eastside artist Jonathon Bedford has spent countless hours turning this 10-foot stump into a work of functional art. Affectionately known as The Stump, the massive art piece pays tribute to co-op life while providing a magical throne upon which to sit. Come stop by to see for this transformation for yourself and celebrate its completion!<\/p>\n

\n

Many of you may remember when Jonathon had a few dozen of his woodcarvings and stained glass pieces on display at the Social Justice Center Gallery and Tenant Resource Center windows in 2006<\/a>. In fact, his copper cattails remain in the back hallway on long-term loan from Marquette neighbor Ted Voth, Jr.<\/p>\n

\n

Jonathon generously donated his time, tools and materials to make this project come to life. He is currently is the process of gathering materials for his new studio and a new genre. Syntropy Co-op will be accepting donations. We hope to present the artist with a mere sliver of the actual value of the piece and acknowledge its immeasurable contribution to our house and neighborhood. If you can’t make this event, but would like to make a donation, please contact Julie Spears at 234-0908. Thanks and see you next Friday!<\/p>\n
