Deb will be showing her latest cold wax paintings at the Newton Open Studios this April 27 and 28. The location for seven artists is a new gallery at New Art @ Trio, 245 Walnut Street in Newtonville, near the intersection of Washinton. Food nearby, parking and elevator. See enclosed ad for a look at the other artsts at this location. Or go here for more information about the event and a map locating over 150 artists.
My painting, “Abstract #10”, will be in Galatea Fine Art Gallery opening on First Friday, November 3, from 5 pm to 9 pm. The small exhibit is called “Color Theory” and features a few Galatea group artists. Galatea Fine Arts is online at galateafineart.com and is located at 560 Harrison Avenue. First Friday is a SoWa event every first Friday of the month. All galleries and shops are open and it is widely attended. There are some nice restaurants/pubs around the area, so you can make a nice evening of shopping, viewing and dining. I’ll be there!
Several Newton artist members of both Newton Open Studios and Newton Art Association invited me to apply to become a member of Galatea Fine Art Gallery. It is located in the SoWa (South of Washington) district of Boston, located at Harrison Avenue, 3B-6. I have been to the gallery before to visit artist friends who were members there.
“SoWa is the most sought-after art community in Boston with over 30 galleries, design houses and restaurants all clustered within walking distance. Hundreds of people come out on First Friday to view the new exhibitions in the area, as well as the Open Markets from May – October. Galatea Fine Art has been, and continues to be, a source of comprehensive, stimulating and nourishing exhibitions, creating a pillar of activity in the area.”
Galatea itself is a co-operative gallery with fifty artist members. Each member exhibits in a member show in January and schedules their own show as well. It is not just a gallery but a community of artists who meet and support each other. I’m looking forward to meeting the other artists. And I’ll be opening the gallery on Sptember 28 for four hours. Come say hi!
You can now find Perugi paintings on the Saatchi Art website. You can search for Deborah Perugi, artist # 2009913 or go to THIS LINK.
I hope that a buyer from anywhere in the world will be happy to buy a painting this way. Buyers from outside New England, will have their painting rolled in a tube and mailed. Collectors can bring the painting to any frame shop and have it mounted on wood stretchers. The painting will flatten as it is stretched. Alternatively you can ask for the stretched painting to be boxed and shipped, which costs @ $500 for a custom wood crate and shipping.
This year’s One showcases a staggering 230 artworks, from fleeting summer landscapes captured by cyanotype to surrealist photography to sculptural fiber work that emerges from the gallery wall.
The freedom of an open exhibition like the One encourages artists to take new risks, be it in media or direction, or exhibiting their work in public for the first time. Come explore it all in this hot summer show that’s only up for one month.
$500 in prizes will be awarded by Stacey Parker, Gallery Director of The Mary Cosgrove Dolphin Gallery and Professor of Visual and Performing Arts, Worcester State University. Prizes will be announced at the public reception on July 26.
