| He(art) Scene |  | The calendar calls for romance. The thickening listings trumpet more and more art events. My fingers thrump, thrump, thrump on the desk impatiently waiting for spring when I can shoot again. Ah, it's mid-February in the Valley. Doing Art Walks in the winter is always a challenge and this past Saturday's snowstorm made it even more so, but there was a lot of laughter and foot traffic at the opening of "The Man Show" at Nashawannuck Gallery. Shown to the left is the all-male posse of talent plus show curator Terry Rooney. (Artists: Michael Tillyer, Dean Nimmer alias Unique Fredrique, Eric Ruegg, Carl Caivano and Jimmy Rhea). The exhibition continues throu
gh early March.
Multiplying faster than the events are the opportunities. If you're an artist, be sure to read through the juried shows, solo shows, group shows, performance calls and grant opportunities below. You're next break may be in here.
And if you have a show, opportunity, studio space for rent, or art items that you want to sell, swap or buy, submit it via the online form at the newsletter before mid-day Monday. Big Heart to all. |
Amherst Exhibits/Events
| New World Theater Presents "Scratch & Burn" February 14 And February 15 |
 |
Artist: New WORLD Theater
Event: "Scratch & Burn" by D-Projects, Inc.
Start Date: Thursday February 14th, 2008
End Date: Friday February 15th, 2008
Location Name: Bowker Auditorium
Address: Stockbridge Hall, UMass Amherst
City, ST: Amherst, MA
Website: www.newworldtheater.org
Fee: $15/$8/$5 |
Battles and wars rage in boardrooms, on street corners, and now on stage as New WORLD Theater kicks off its 2008 spring season. In "Scratch & Burn," ancient Zulu and Maori rituals mix with elements of butoh, hip hop and urban street combat to create a powerful dance theater piece about our primal urge to battle for supremacy and domination - posing the question, "When is war not the answer?"
Writer and director Teo Castellanos calls "Scratch & Burn" both "a ritual and a cry for peace." Combining break dancing, spoken word, Tibetan Buddhist prayer flags, projected text and live percussion, five male dancers assume a variety of roles. "Scratch & Burn" is fast and furious, forceful and athletic, delivering a searing critique of war, violence, racial stereotypes, the Bush administration and U.S. imperialism.
"Scratch & Burn" will be presented at Bowker Auditorium in Stockbridge Hall at the University of Massachusetts Amherst on February 14 and 15 at 8 p.m. Tickets for the general audience are $15; $8 for seniors and low income patrons; $5 for students with valid I.D. Tickets can be purchased through the Fine Arts Center Box Office by calling 1.800.999.UMASS or 413.545.2511, or visiting www.fineartscenter.com. For more information, please call New WORLD Theater at 413.545.1972 or visit www.newworldtheater.org.
Support for "Scratch & Burn" is provided by the New England Foundation for the Arts, the National Performance Network, and TRGGR Publications and Media Group. |

Boston Exhibits/Events
| Senator Rosenberg Hosts Art Show By Nancy Natale |
 |
Artist: Nancy Natale
Event: Abstract Paintings: Between Now and Then
Start Date: Thursday January 17th, 2008
End Date: Friday March 28th, 2008
Location Name: Office of Senator Stan Rosenberg
Address: State House, Room 320
City, ST: Boston, MA
Website: www.nancynatale.net
Fee: free |
Nancy Natale, an Easthampton artist with a studio at the Eastworks Building, is exhibiting 25 paintings in oil, encaustic and acrylic in the offices of Senator Stan Rosenberg at the State House. The public is welcome to view the work by visiting the Senator's office in Room 320 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The title of Nancy Natale's show, "Abstract Paintings: Between Now and Then," refers to the "now" of looking and the "then" of making, meaning that the paintings themselves lie between now and then and are the bridge over time between artist and viewer. Natale works in a non-representational or abstract way because she believes it allows both the artist and the viewer more freedom to see the paintings as entities on their own rather than as representations of other things. Her works are full of color, pattern and lush texture. Sometimes alluding to nature, while not representing it, the challenge for Natale is to find the balance point between order and chaos in the colors, marks, shapes and patterns she makes on the canvas as she works to invent each painting and create works that invite repeated viewing. |

Easthampton Exhibits/Events
| Second Annual Fundraising Art Exhibit |
Event: Art as Witness / Capturing Community Values
Start Date: Saturday February 16th, 2008
Reception: Saturday February 23rd, 2008 @ 5:00 PM
End Date: Saturday March 22nd, 2008
Location Name: Elusie Gallery
Address: 43 Main Street, Old Town Hall
City, ST: Easthampton, MA
Website: www.eastmontgallery.net
|
The theme of this year's juried exhibit is "Art as Witness, Capturing Community Values." Proceeds will be used to hire local artists to teach cultural workshops at the 2008 Family Gathering, a community-building program organized by the Easthampton-based Rosenberg Fund for Children.
The public is invited to attend the catered reception and meet the artists. The winner of the Juried Competition will be announced during the Artists' Reception on Saturday, February 23rd, from 5-8. The winning artist will sign limited edition prints of the selected work, and all original pieces will be for sale.
Judging by the applications already returned, Art as Witness promises to be an eclectic and thought-provoking exhibition. In styles including expressionism, realism, symbolism and even abstraction, artists have created pieces that depict the "Community Values" that are close to their hearts, while others have chosen to show their concerns or opinions about social, environmental or political issues.
The Eastmont Art Fund's mission is to involve LOCAL artists in fundraising for LOCAL organizations to their MUTUAL benefit. In this unique project, artists receive commissions on all sales of original artwork, and the remaining proceeds benefit the designated community organization. Additionally, the jury–selected winning artwork will be published in a limited edition, archival print and both the artist and beneficiary group will receive income from the sale of these prints. |

The Rain King is the latest production in the Williston Northampton School's popular children's theater series that brings hundreds of children to campus each year during local elementary schools' winter vacation. Based on Mexican folktales, The Rain King, written and directed by Williston Theatre director David Nields, promises to be a magnificent experience with large puppets, video projections, Brazilian music, and colorful costumes. Nields returns to Williston from a semester-long sabbatical at Disney World and says "the show will be a big spectacle!"
The play is the tale about a couple named Puma and Jaguar who give their children mutating powers. The sons have many adventures transforming themselves into fish, snakes and birds. They must also withstand the trials of a flood created by the Rain King's beard of rain.
The performances, which are open to everyone, take place from February 18-23 at 3:00 p.m. in the Williston Theatre. Tickets cost $5.00, available through the Box Office at (413) 529-3434.

Host Francesca Rheannon talks with Geraldine Brooks about THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK, a novel based on the history of the Sarajevo Haggadah. This remarkable novel takes us through time and across Europe to uncover the story of a fourteenth century Jewish book that survived the exile, wanderings and persecution of its owners. One of the most valuable manuscripts in existence today, the Sarajevo Haggadah was rescued twice by its Bosnian Muslim curators from the Nazis in 1944 and from Serbian shelling of Sarajevo in the early 1990'. It now rests in the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo. Brooks will be speaking at the Odyssey Bookshop in South Hadley on February 11 at 7 PM.
Read Geraldine Brooks 2006 New Yorker Article about the WWII rescue of the Sarajevo Haggadah
Also, we talk with California Poet Laureate Al Young about his new book-and-cd set, SOMETHING ABOUT THE BLUES: An Unlikely Collection of Poetry. Young is a celebrated African-American poet, novelist, essayist and musician who connects his poetry with the vibrant music of the Blues. He writes: Music with which poetry remains eternally intimate seems a dead ringer, as it were for life. And while each also seems invisible, I always catch myself asking: What is life but spirit; spirit-thought made hearable, seeable, smellable, touchable, and delectable. Tune in to hear him talk, sing and recite his work on Writer's Voice. |

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 or sale providing model releases are available. Photographer, Melissa Incampo, juror. Maximum 4 entries per participant.

Call to Sculptures - Block Island Show 2008

See www.suburbanartists.com for pics of last years show and link to group site for more info. Block Island is a smaller version of Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard. Its Stone Wall lined landscapes and endless Ocean Views and Beaches makes it a great place to see and spend time. It is extremely busy with Summer
Visitors.
Our Site is 1/2 way between the ferry docks in the center of town and the South East Lighthouse, one of the island's biggest draws. (It's about 2 minutes by car from town) Walkers, joggers, bikers, mopeders, and cars pass by our site on their way to and from town / lighthouse / beaches / fishing / 150 ft. tall oceanfront clay cliffs / home. Lots and lots of people will see our Show each time they pass it. Everytime I was there last year at least 1 passerby stopped and thanked us for bringing the sculptures to Block Island. They love the arts on Block Island. |

Unsolicited Proposal Program - apex art, New York
Proposals accepted online until February 29.
Each season, apexart accepts proposals for two exhibitions. This program is designed to give people with interesting curatorial concepts an opportunity to have them considered and possibly presented in a professional, recognized venue based on the quality of idea rather than past experience.
We are currently accepting one-page, idea-based proposals for evaluation by an international panel of apexart associates (curators, artists, writers, philosophers). Submissions are reviewed independently, anonymously and without visual support material, evaluated solely on the strength of the idea. The two proposals with the highest ratings will be presented at apexart in the 2008/09 season (September 2008 to August 2009).
Please note we do not accept proposals for one person shows and discourage artists who are acting as curators from including their own work in their proposal. For the selected proposal, apexart will provide a $5,000 budget for travel (curator/artists), transportation of artwork, and general expenses. We will also provide a $2,000 curatorial honorarium for organization and brochure essay (approx. 1400 words).

Deadline Friday, February 22. All visual artists are encouraged to submit art of the nude to the BAREBRUSH.com for selection by Zoran Crnkovic, artist and instructor for the March 2008 N*des-of-the-Month exhibition.
New York, NY – Feb. 4, 2008. BAREBRUSH.com announces today that Zoran Crnkovic, artist, and instructor at the Salmagundi Club, Greenwich Village, will select and curate the March 2008 N*des-of-the-Month virtual exhibition. The entry deadline for the March 2008 calendar is Friday, February 22. Art must be uploaded to BAREBRUSH.com on or before Friday, February 22 to be eligible for the March exhibition.
About Zoran Crnkovic
Zoran Crnkovic is a painter and sculptor. He is an art instructor of figure drawing at the Salmagundi Club in New York. His studio is in Long Island City.
When asked what he will be looking for when he selects the artwork for BAREBRUSH, Zoran said,
I'm looking for sense of rhythm and use of medium to communicate personal reality. The act of seeing translated to art. Not necessarily skill, but its use. Most important is the inner life of the artwork and its truthfulness, sprouting from intimate experience that is revealing the artist naked to its core. I'm looking for the courage to let pencil, brush, and pen ...reveal the one who is holding it.
