America Remixed at the MFA

Well, this is exciting! My work is going to be on the MFA, if not quite in the collection, yet. For the Gala Opening of the new Art of the America’s wing, local artists’ work has been selected to be projected—huge—on the walls of the new wing during the opening event.  The selection was made by Catalyst, a global Audience Development Initiative at the MFA. Catalyst is comprised of Museum members and staff representing the communities of Greater Boston.

The event looks to be quite the To-Do, with live music, dancing, aerialist dancers,  and the works. I’ll be there, enjoying the spectacle and seeing my work on the walls of the new wing. Tickets at http://www.mfa.org/programs/special-event

Two Regional Group Shows, and a Solo Cafe Show

This Fall is turning out to be a busy season for my work. In addition to a private corporate show at New England Biolabs, I currently have two pieces in the Nave Gallery’s Our Town exhibit, featuring works of and about Somerville, MA. During the run of this show, don’t miss Wrap Around, Sat. and Sun., Nov. 13 and 14 a fund-raiser for the Somerville Homeless Coalition.

Opening November 18, look for my work included in Plenty at 13FOREST in Arlington, MA. Plenty is the annual small works holiday show, so it’s a great place to look for gifts.

From November 15 through the New Year, my work will be filling the walls of Club Passim in Harvard Square. If you’re going to hear a great concert, or just going for the tasty vegetarian food, you’ll have a chance to see a large selection of my work, filling the main hall. I’m working now on finishing some new work in time to hang it next week!

Two Arts Fairs this September

This fall I’ll be participating in two large arts fairs, showing and selling my paintings and prints. Please come by and say Hello, and take a look at my newest pieces. I finished a new collage series this summer and am finishing up a new print series just in time for these shows!

The first is the hts Boston Festival.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
September 10, 11, and 12
12noon to 6pm
(check the website for performance schedule).
It’s at Christopher Columbus Park in Boston, right next to the Rose Kennedy Greenway and the North End, with a great view of the harbor. I participated in this show last year and it was a wonderful time, with music, dance, food, and lots of great artists.

The entire festival and all the performances are FREE, sponsored by the City of Boston.

Two weeks later, I’ll be showing for my first time at the DeCordova Family SculptureFest.

The show was juried by the DeCordova, and includes sculptors (natch’) and also jewelers, ceramicists, painters, print-makers and more. You can preview all the participating artists on the event website.

One day only, Sunday, September 19
10am to 5pm
Free for DeCordova members and Lincoln residents, or $15/adults, $12 youths, students, and seniors. Admission to the event includes admission to the sculpture park and museum.

I hope to see you this September!
