SUMMARY:Jimmy Grashow Day
DESCRIPTION:Jimmy Grashow Day\nSeptember 19th\nCelebrate Jimmy Grashow Day by doing what Jimmy loved best: creating with cardboard! \nA year ago this week\, The Granite was honored to host the talented and beloved Redding artist Jimmy Grashow’s magnum opus\, The Cathedral. That evening at The Granite\, the Town of Redding declared September 19th “Jimmy Grashow Day”. Over 700 people were in attendance that night\, and more than 3\,000 people visited the Jimmy’s World exhibit over the following month. \nSadly\, we lost Jimmy on Monday\, making the second Jimmy Grashow Day bittersweet as we remember our friend. Now\, we’re calling on our community to indulge in some creative expression with cardboard\, Jimmy’s favorite material. \nUpcycle your cardboard\, draw a little doodle\, paint\, or go full Jimmy and build something. Share it with us at @thegranitechurch on Facebook or Instagram\, and we’ll highlight the submissions\, spreading Jimmy’s most powerful message\, Love. \nWe look forward to creating with you!

DESCRIPTION:Grashow at the Granite: For Kids!\nSaturday\, October 19 at 10:30 AM\nThe artist\, Jimmy Grashow\, will host a lecture and craft for kids and families. Dive into the art of cardboard\, and explore the last day of Grashow at the Granite: Jimmy’s World. \nRSVP today! (Only submit an RSVP for the kid(s) participating in the craft.) \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nJames Grashow (b.1942) is an American artist who established himself early in his career\, doing woodcuts and engravings for album covers and major publications.

His works have been exhibited in museums and galleries across the country since the 1960s. \nBorn in Brooklyn\, New York\, Grashow earned his BFA from Pratt Institute.

Grashow made a name for himself creating woodcuts and engravings for album covers and major publications\, including Rolling Stone magazine. One of his most memorable album covers\, Stand Up\, was made in 1969 for Jethro Tull. \nGrashow’s enthusiasm for the sculptures he cuts and shapes from wood\, cardboard\, and paper-mâché is evident in the sheer volume of his various creations and his natural ability to teach his art.
