| Inner Voices; Ceramic Sculptures |

Artist: Hilda Maria Alhach
Event: Inner Voices; Ceramic Sculptures
Start Date: Thursday January 10th, 2008
End Date: Sunday January 27th, 2008
Location Name: The Oxbow Gallery
Address: 275 Pleasant Street
City, ST: Northampton,
Website: www.oxbowgallery.com
Fee: None |
To give expression to her "inner voices", Alhach draws from personal history, pre-Columbian motifs and aquatic life forms, to create this body of intimate yet deeply communicative sculpture.
Hilda Maria spent her childhood in Colombia playing in the mud. She learned to love the adobe of colonial architecture and its inherent warmth. In 1996 she left her life in the corporate world to pursue art full time and by 2000, she had graduated from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston as a working sculptor. Her work in hand-built ceramics and glass structures grows out of all of these experiences and traditions. |

| Master Potter Val Cushing's Work To Be Displayed At Artisan Gallery |
 |
Artist: Val Cushing
Event: Val Cushing Pottery Exhibit at Artisan Gallery
Start Date: Friday February 1st, 2008
Reception: Friday February 1st, 2008 @ 5:00 PM
End Date: Sunday March 9th, 2008
Location Name: Artisan Gallery
Address: 162 Main Street
City, ST: Northampton, MA
Website: www.theartisangallery.com
|
The Artisan Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibit of recent work by master potter Val Cushing. Mr. Cushing received his BFA and MFA in 1956 from Alfred University and taught pottery and technical courses there from 1957 until his retirement in 1997. He has been designated Professor Emeritus by the university. His work is included in many private and public collections including; American Craft Museum, Detroit Institute of Arts, Cooper Hewitt Museum, Renwick Gallery, Ohi Museum of Ceramics - Japan, and many, many more.
ARTIST'S STATEMENT
I aspire to make pottery that is both beautiful and useful. I place as much emphasis as I can on the sensuous qualities of a pot, mainly by the use of color, form and surface textures that are as stimulating to see as to touch. The goal is to make use more pleasurable. I also make some vessels based on a different premise. In these, use is less of an issue; much more importance is placed on the imaginative potential of pottery forms to be seen as sculpture is seen. All of my work, whether pottery or vessels, employs various references and influences that help direct the visual dynamics. But nature, above all else, is my primary source. I think about how and why things look as they do. I make drawings from nature, from the landscape, from growing things, and from my thoughts about them - something coalesces from all of this and becomes a piece. |

Stephanie Cramer, Painter as Printmaker,
January 8th-February 17th, 2008
Stephanie Cramer will be exhibiting her monotypes along side several of her large vibrant paintings at the Gallery at Zea Mays Printmaking, Florence, MA. Zea Mays gives Cramer a place to work communally with other artists. "Normally the process of painting is isolated, Zea Mays gives me the opportunity to work in the presence of other artists. "My preference is monotype, the most closely related to the process of painting, often called the painter's printmaking process.
"Center stage in my art is the figure-an object in motion, as if the figure is caught, just for an instant, galimpse, a snapshot before the gesture is complete. I'm not in search of exact representation." |

What: Juried Photo Contest for March - Theme: Environmental Portraiture
"An environmental portrait supplies enough details with props and choice of background to share with and present to the viewer something about the lifestyle of the person. In an environmental portrait, the subject is photographed at home, at the office, or on location, whichever best portrays the person's story. Far from the posed safe studio portrait with a seamless background, an environmental portrait positions the subject amid everyday objects of her life." Tell her story! She can live anywhere!
Why: $350 cash prize for first place. Cash and merchant awards for second and third place. 21 images selected for exhibit. Also, the 3 winning entries will remain on exhibit, another month, through April 29. Exhibit heavily publicized with name of exhibitors to all media outlets.
How: Entries must be created by the photographer in the 21st century. Image sizes will be 11’ X 14” ish, mounted, matted, framed with wire/cord for hanging. Artwork may be available for sale providing model releases are available. Photographer, Melissa Incampo, juror. Maximum 4 entries per participant. |

About The Show: In the world of contemporary art the critical establishment often ignores or dismisses painting as being an outmoded form – historically superceded. Yet painting’s audience continues to grow and large numbers of young artists continue to paint. Like poetry, music, dance or drama, it is a form, not just another medium. Through the centuries that form has retained its capacity to express the vision of painters as different as Giotto and de Kooning. This exhibition will reveal some of the richness and diversity of painters working today - seeking to bring life and presence from inert materials. |

| Your new point-and-shoot camera has more controls than you can learn by yourself. This course is designed to help you take better nature photos. Learn the fundamentals of digital photography with nature as your subject matter. We will start with the basics of digital point-and-shoot cameras and then focus on the creative aspects of photography. Your camera's various controls and menu selections will be explored step-by-step. Learn the aspects of digital cameras, including the zoom lens, viewfinder, focus control, ISO, aperture and shutter controls, resolution, and batteries. The course also covers loading and working with digital camera software on a computer, downloading images, printing, and sharing on the Internet. Adobe Photoshop elements will be used to demonstrate methods of color correction and some basic image enhancement. Please bring your camera and its owner's manual to all sessions. You will be invited to practice at home with fun
and creative assignments and perhaps a field trip. Participants will bring in new images to class for an informal critique with warmth and respect. |
