First Friday/First Painting

First Friday/First Painting

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!

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.

Newton Art Association Show at Newton Library to Open

Today a myriad of artists showed up with art work in hand to add to the yearly Newton Public Library Show. The show opening is on Monday at 8 pm and all are invited! There are three rooms displayed with paintings and sculpture: The large gallery room, a middle room and the library entrance hallway. An art hanging committee of ten people (including me) stayed three hours to arrange the pieces, hanging them on clips and spacing and labeling them accordingly. My diptych, “Doors and Ways” is in the main room. See attached photos.There are always a few who label their pieces wrong, like me, and the typist has to make another few labels. Thanks, Carole Slattery!
