The Art of Human Rights - Preview Reception

Last night’s reception for “The Art of Human Rights” Preview Exhibition at Gallery 180 was amazing. Prior to the start of the event, President, John Jenkins purchased “Impressions” by Indianapolis Painter, Lorraine Sack. The painting was the second of Sack’s to be acquired for the Permanent Collection of The Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago. With an abundance of interest in her work, I have scheduled a solo exhibition of Sack’s still life paintings for the spring of 2011. Additional work by Lorraine Sack can be seen on her web site: lorrainestudios.com I’m looking forward to working with her again.

red... A National Call for Artists

I have just completed the prospectus for the upcoming National Juried Exhibition titled, "red". If you're an exhibiting artist, this is a great opportunity.

The exhibition will be presented at Gallery 180 of The Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago. It will include images and objects containing—at least—a touch of red. The exhibition will be on display September 14 through November 11 with a reception on Friday, October 9th. Entry deadline is August 6th.

This National Juried Exhibition is open to all artists, living or working in the U.S. Work must be original. All media except video and installation are eligible. Each artist may submit up to 3 pieces for the entry fee of $30.

The Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago will purchase at least one piece from the exhibition, for inclusion into the school’s Permanent Collection. The Collection is diverse and can be viewed on location or on line at: gallery180.com.
