The Bees Knees – 42 Maple Contemporary Art Center

This past Tuesday I drove 2.5 hours up to Bethlehem, NH to drop off my artwork in the mountains! My pieces, Pine Needles, Pine Needles #2 and Seaweed were accepted into a really cool exhibit called the Bees Knees. The exhibition was focused on bringing awareness to the Bee depopulation and supporting locally organic products and honey. I really wish I could attend the reception because it sounded really interesting, but it is on the first day I am going to be in Italy so I won’t be in the country.

The drive up to Bethlehem, NH was interesting – although long… – it was fun to drive through the Franconcia National Park and see the mountains and valleys and gorges, etc. I hope the weather would be a bit better for pickup day because I would be interested in stopping by some of the sites in that park – it was raining when I drove up to drop them off. I’m sure there will be a formal press release out next week.

Wheaton College Reception

Last Wednesday my family and I went to the Wheaton College reception and I’m really glad I went! I met Elizabeth Keithline whose the gallery director at Beard and Weil Gallery (at Wheaton College). I have a new found love for Wheaton. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming! My former girl scout leader and her daughter came as well and I was surprised to learn that another artist whom I had previously exhibited with at the Cambridge Art Association was in this show as well!

Other than that not much else happened. There’s a few events later in the week (Gallery Talk and Artist Talk) that I will try to attend. But so far this has been one of the more exciting exhibitions! Can’t wait to see what else may come through this spring and summer! 🙂

Fountain Street Fine Art in Framingham will host its eighth Juried Show, VISUAL ALCHEMY, from January 2 – 25, 2015. A Reception will be held Saturday, January 3rd from 5-7pm.

 

Artists were asked to explore “Visual Alchemy: tangible evidence of experimentation, discovery and transformation” and submit artwork in any media that they felt interpreted the theme. Nearly 200 artists from across the country submitted about three hundred works of art. Forty-two pieces by thirty-four artists were selected for inclusion into the show.

 

Juror Elizabeth Devlin commented that “this was definitely the most difficult “blind” judging I have ever done, which speaks to the quality of applicants. I combed through the entries SO many times, and had to make tough decisions since so many were aesthetically beautiful.”

 

 

Fountain Street Fine Art exhibits contemporary work by emerging and mid-career artists that is skillfully executed, exciting and new. Solo shows by member artists alternate with collaborative projects, installations and group shows.

 

Juror Elizabeth Devlin is an independent curator, art consultant, and founder of FLUX. Boston, an online resource for artists and art enthusiasts in the Boston area and beyond.

There could be a couple more coming through later in the winter. But I’m excited for these. Last winter was kinda a bust, but my energy was focused in my job and not necessarily my artwork.

Surface & Depth exhibition at The Golden Thread Gallery

10559889_890557867624184_6154000368628523859_nOn Saturday the 13th I drove out to West Hartford, CT to attend the reception for the Surface & Depth gallery. I really like this space and it is cool that it is underneath a monastery/spiritual retreat center. I’m thinking about becoming a member once I have some extra money. I like that their exhibition themes are big/philosophical ideas rather than ‘landscapes’ or ‘still lives’, etc. I actually found it very hard to choose which exhibit to submit my artwork to! Many of their themes for this season can fit my artwork. This is Seaweed’s first group show. 🙂 Being a spiritual retreat center the crowd was a little bit older, so the reception was quieter than normal, and I didn’t really know anyone there which made it hard to reach out and mingle. But I’m glad I went because the energy of the place was really nice and it’s a great gallery.
