Krist and Beck to Document Dr. Ruenes in Africa

Award winning photographer Bob Krist and Documentary Painter Robert Beck will be traveling to Senegal in September to create a visual multi-media project based on Dr. Albert Ruenes’ humanitarian efforts.

Dr. Ruenes regularly travels to Dakar, teaching African doctors to perform a special, minimally invasive procedure to treat prostate cancer, which is more prevalent and aggressive in the African population. “What makes this program unique is that the teaching takes place in their facilities,” says Ruenes, “and that we work within the confines of their limits, not in a fully outfitted hospital.” Those limitations sometime include unsterile environments, a lack of equipment and clean water, and reliance on ether as an anesthetic.

Surgery, often the only available and affordable treatment option in underdeveloped countries, is difficult to obtain in Africa. The nation of Mauritania has only one urologist. The goal is to create a prostate cancer treatment and teaching center where Africans will then instruct other Africans to perform this surgery.

Dr. Ruenes is a urologic surgeon with Central Bucks Urology, and this year he received the Rotary Club of Doylestown Healthcare Humanitarian of the Year Award for his efforts abroad and here at home.

Bob Krist is a freelance Photographer who lives in New Hope and works on regular assignment for National Geographic Traveler and Smithsonian Magazine. He is the recipient of numerous honors, including Communication Arts, Pictures of the Year, and World Press Photo awards, and has three-times been named Travel Photographer of the Year.

Robert Beck is an award-winning documentary painter and essayist who lives in New Hope and maintains a gallery and academy in Lambertville. Exhibitions of his work have appeared in The James A. Michener Museum in Doylestown and The Museum of the City of Trenton.

An event in the Spring will include an exhibition of Beck and Krist’s work, along with a presentation about the project, sponsored in part by David Witchell at 25 South. Contributions will help equip an operating room and PSA testing lab in Dakar. “Anyone who is familiar with prostate problems knows it’s serious business, “ says Beck. “Dr. Ruenes’ work in Africa is important and the money we raise will make a huge impact. Not just now, but moving forward too. It will save a lot of lives.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

MEMORIES AND MEMENTOES MAKE "MIX AND MATCH" AN EXHIBIT TO TREASURE AT ARTISTS’ GALLERY
It was a bittersweet milestone for a family — and an unexpected inspiration for an artist. Gail Bracegirdle’s mother was selling the home where she had lived and raised her family for nearly 60 years.

"My brothers, sister and I discovered many treasures as we emptied the attic," says Bracegirdle, a watercolorist. "There were six, large old shipping trunks up there." The contents included her mother’s ballet costumes, Victorian dresses, decades of Hallowe’en costumes, a vintage baseball uniform and the baby shoes her father was shown wearing in a photograph from 1916.

"Ideas for paintings began to come to me as we sorted it all," Bracegirdle says.

Like Bracegirdle’s mother, artist Alan J. Klawans has long collected treasures — personal memories, mementoes and artifacts he honors and incorporates in his work.

"My art comes from what I’ve seen and what I’ve done: a trip to Japan, a fishing expedition in Canada, a visit to a flea market near home," says Klawans. His eclectic digital prints reference airplane flights, industrial sites, yacht races, movies, family history, outings to art museums and theaters, and auto travel throughout the United States and Europe.

"I’ve often contemplated doing a still life of a bowl of fruit, but it never happens," says Klawans. "The fruit just becomes my dessert."

So Memories and momentoes it is in "Mix and Match", a new exhibit of Klawan’s original digital prints and Bracegirdle’s watercolors and mixed media work at Artists’ Gallery.

"‘Mix and Match’ is an exhibit of work that both interprets subjects of the present and evokes memories of the past," says gallery spokesperson, Laurie Nicholson. "There’s a great deal of emotion captured and a great deal of beauty."

While Bracegirdle works in the traditional medium of watercolor, her technique and use of various papers and surfaces turns nostalgic subject matter into contemporary statements. Klawans uses a computer to create work melding his own photography with elements of graphic design to produce original, archival pigment, digital prints. Both have exhibited their work widely and are represented in public and private collections.

"Mix and Match" opens Friday, October 8 and runs through Sunday, October 31. An opening reception will be held Saturday, October 9, from 2 to 8 p.m. The artists will be present to discuss the creative processes they use.

About Artists’ Gallery
Now celebrating its 15th year, Artists’ Gallery is a partnership of eighteen established and regionally represented artists with national and international reputations who attract collectors and art lovers from throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York and Delaware. The Gallery is located at 18 Bridge Street in the heart of Lambertville, New Jersey. It is open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11 am to 6 pm and by appointment.

Exhibit: “Sculpture Demonstrations”
Dates: Sept 25 - Oct 30, 2010
Receptions: 9-25 thru 10-30

Image available: by George McMonigle "Old Gold"( bronze)

sculpture Demonstration series will take place at bucks county gallery of Fine Art featuring three area sculptors.

New Hope PA, August 30, 2010 - Bucks County Gallery of Fine Art is pleased to announce the opening of their sculpture demonstration series on Saturday afternoons featuring sculptors John McDevitt, George McMonigle, and Richard Summons, and. The demo’s will run from Noon - 3pm
The three sculptors will work on creating a beautiful sculpture and show their techniques used to complete their medium.

This demonstration is a wonderful opportunity for visitors to frequent the gallery during the opening of Jesse Harrington's "Elements Unearthed" solo sculpture show beginning Sept 11th and continuing through with our Annual Sculpture Showcase 2010 Juried Show. Art enthusiast's will learn how sculpture is created by artist's represented by the gallery. You can watch as clay is shaped and steel is finished from its rough form, into a finished piece of art. All ages welcome. This series of demonstrations are open and free to the general public.

John McDevitt - September 25, Noon - 3pm.
Come see the sparks fly as John demonstrates how he works on his steel sculpture. You can interact with him during the three hour reception outside of the gallery in our parking lot.
Prior to becoming a full time sculptor, John spent 23 years designing and developing new products and packaging for major global companies including Johnson & Johnson and Kraft Foods. Communicating with form, color…graphics.
Communicating and hopefully connecting, via sculpture, has been an obvious move in the right direction. Steel surrounds him in his New Hope, PA studio. It is John's partner in a journey to improve himself and connect with the world.
Steel is his material of choice. McDevitt is not sure if he chose it, or it chose him. Cold, hard, static…but with the potential to warm, move and engage. Steel is not afraid of change. It is different at every moment.

Sculpture Showcase 2010 Juried Show - October 2, 11 - 3pm
You're invited to attend our Annual Sculpture Showcase 2010 from October 1 - 30. The reception will take place on Saturday October 2, 11am - 4pm.

You'll see the magic in the creations done by some of area's most recognized and awarded sculptors in the form of bronze, wood, resin, steel, and stone. Indoor as well as outdoor works will be exhibited the entire month of October. Join us!

George McMonigle - October 9, Noon - 3pm.
Known for some of the works he's created for the Franklin Mint, George attended Temple University Tyler School of Fine Art 1970-74, as his passion matured. His love of porcelain started then, and so when his first commission came from the prestigious Edward Marshal Boehm studios in Trenton, he jumped at the opportunity.
For the next six years he has created sculptures in porcelain that became presidential gifts to other countries and museums around the world. George studied the art of porcelain from some of the best artists and tradesmen around the world. People seem surprised when he explained that many of the great sculptors like A. Carrier-Belleuse, Auguste Rodin and Jean-Bapiste Carpeaux all started careers in porcelain sculpture.
While his love of the porcelain art form has not diminished, his love of bronze has grown. As the sculptors art has matured, bronze has become the perfect material, and George now creates almost exclusively in bronze. His golden retriever series of affordable small bronzes are currently on display.
Richard Summons - October 16, Noon - 3pm.

While at his studio in Sinking Spring, PA versatile artist Richard J. Summons creates fascinating works of art, both naturalistic and surrealistic from a wide variety of traditional materials and synthetics. He works in bronze, aluminum, stainless steel, gypsum cements, bonded metals, stoneware and porcelain.

While living in El Salvador, C.A., Rick developed the ceramics department for the Bachierato en Artes and founded the National School of Ceramics. He also taught ceramic design and 3-D design at the Philadelphia College of Art, and sculpture at both the Community School of Music and Art and the Reading Area Community College in Reading, PA.

Rick is known nationally and internationally for his bas reliefs, available in bonded metals, bronze, and as ceramic tiles. His other world consists of the naturalistic - surrealistic works in bronze; playful compositions of turtles, toads, fish, beetles, etc. which he refers to as his "Meadowsongs." Rick's ability to work in varied scales has garnered him many commissioned works for individuals, organizations, and for A.R.T. Research Enterprises, Inc. of Lancaster, PA including awards, medallions, life-size children and animal figures, portraiture, and monumental public art installations.
You can "Make it Personal" by commissioning us to create a sculpture by any of our award winning artists.

Common Grounds:
Paintings by Materese Roche and Metalwork by Raymond Mathis

September 3 through 30, 2010
Artists’ Reception: Saturday, September 11 from 6 to 9 pm

Laceworks Building

The pairing of painter, Materese Roche and metal artist, Raymond Mathis celebrates the unique vision of two artists, both trained in centuries old techniques of their respective crafts, as they explore contemporary interpretations of their subjects.

Classically trained in highly representational art at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Roche understands and considers all of the technical aspects of painting one learns as a student, yet in her work there is a luminosity that is impossible to teach. Her decidedly crisp and technical still lifes seem in direct contrast to her atmospheric landscapes. Her abstract paintings are the result of a creative experiment, initially inspired by a piece of verdigris copper, sliced through with veins of red rust.

Mathis honed his craft at the Vulkanschmiede and the International Teaching Center for Metal Design in Aachen, Germany, where he studied under renowned master smith Manfred Bredohl. He then spent time researching the iron craftsmanship of Europe while traveling through Germany, Belgium, France and Italy. His projects range from commissioned sculpture, interior and garden furniture, lighting and hardware to commercial projects. Mathis works in a variety of materials such as steel, copper, bronze, stainless steel, stone and hand blown glass.

Common Grounds runs from Friday, September 3 through September 30, 2010. The Artists’ Reception is being held on Saturday, September 11 from 6 to 9 pm.

September, 2010 – Andre Gisson (1921 – 2003)

New Hope, Pa. – BOI’s of New Hope Art Gallery is featuring works by French American Impressionist Andre Gisson. Among the works will be small affordable watercolors paintings as well as his notable oil paintings of garden pots. The exhibition will be on display Starting September 11 and running thru October 2010.

Many sources cite Andre Gisson as a French painter, but in fact he was a struggling painter in New York City who decided to enhance his reputation by claiming he was French and born earlier (1910) to be more closely aligned with the founders of the Impressionist movement. His real name was Anders Gittelson and he was born in Brooklyn, NY. Gisson lived in Westport, CT for most of his life. However, his paintings reflect his extensive travels and studies in Europe and the Far East and his desire to appear cosmopolitan in background.

Gisson's landscapes, beach scenes, and portraits were intended to create a reflective mood of serenity. His still-lifes show Japanese influence in his work, while the French influence is more pronounced in his landscapes, beach scenes and studies of the human figure.

Gisson believed that it is the role of the artist to extend or "explain" perception and feeling and in this way enlarge the total human vision...."Flowers for me are a way of feeling certain effects of light and conversely, light is a means for expressing something very personal about the way I experience flowers."

"When I begin to paint, certain remembered sensations come to me and it is these that I translate into visual form and related subjects. These subjects-- people, the nude, florals, landscapes, beaches, etc., recur constantly like obsessive memories. For the most part they are the common universal experiences of all of us, neither contemporary nor out of an antique past, but with a sentiment which I hope is recognizable to others at any time." Andre Gisson
BOI’s of New Hope, located at 9 West Mechanic Street, New Hope, PA, is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from noon until late evening – other evenings by appointment. For more information call 215.862.8292, or visit us online at www.BOIsofnewhope.com where you will find directions and parking information.

NEW HOPE, Pa., July 1, 2010 – With an advertising tagline proclaiming “We Build Excitement” it is fair to say that Pontiac has been responsible for many of General Motors most interesting and exciting cars, from the Star Chief, to the GTO, the Firebird Trans Am and most recently, the Solstice. With the Pontiac brand no longer in production, The New Hope Automobile Show (NHAS) will pay a special tribute to the classic Pontiac marque at this year’s show which will be held on Saturday, August 14 and Sunday, August 15, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the grounds of New Hope-Solebury High School.

The Pontiac brand was introduced by General Motors in 1926 at the New York Auto Show as the companion marque to GM's Oakland Motor Car line. The 'Chief of the Sixes', a 6-cylinder car was conceived to compete with more inexpensive four cylinder models and within months of its introduction, Pontiac outsold Oakland. Priced at $825, Pontiac sold 76,742 cars in its first year on the market and in 1932, as Pontiac's sales rose and Oakland's sales began to decline, Oakland ceased production and the Pontiac Motor Division was established.

In the early years, Pontiac made coupes, sedans and wagons in the low-to-mid price ranges and shared much of the same styling as the Chevrolet with the exception of taillight styling, front grille work differences, and for its liberal use of chrome known as ‘Silver Streak’ that ran up over the length of the hood to the base of the windshield.

The Pontiac brand truly came into its own, in 1964, with the introduction of the first muscle car, the GTO, this year’s show car. In 1965, the entire Pontiac lineup was honored as Motor Trend’s Car of the Year, the third time that Pontiac received such honors, due to the division’s

efforts to create salable cars for the mass market, along with niche models such as the Firebird, Firebird Trans Am and Grand Prix.

Pontiac sales had diminished in recent years, from its peak in 1884 when it sold almost 850,000 vehicles. Still, Pontiac won praise for the powerful, rear-wheel-drive, G8 sedan and had been lauded for the eye-catching design of the Solstice coupe.

A legendary brand that lasted close to a century and helped define one on the brightest eras in automotive history may have hit the road but Pontiac enthusiasts can roar at this year’s New Hope Auto Show where more than 400 classic and antique cars and motorcycles will be on display with an entirely different roster of cars each day. Saturday will feature domestic cars, like Pontiac, from the 1920s to the '70s, antique trucks, GTOs, Corvettes, fire engines, Model As and Model Ts, Studebakers, Shelbys, race cars, and Mustangs. BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes Benz, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Porsche, and Triumph are just some of the featured cars on Sunday, along with antique motorcycles up to 1965.

Admission to the show is $5.00 per person, $3.00 for Senior Citizens 62 and over, children under 12 accompanied by an adult are free. And like last year, the New Hope Automobile Show is
extending a special invitation to service members and their families to enjoy the show free of charge. Convenient, on-site parking is available for $5.

Created in 1957 to benefit the New Hope-Solebury High School, the auto show has continued to support the school through student scholarships. Over the years, the show has raised tens of thousands of dollars to assist students in their pursuit of further education.

MOBY DICK ON THE DELAWARE:
Featuring “Moby Dick Suite” by Bert Yarborough;
Original Thematic Artwork by Timothy Woodman;
“Ahab Aloft” by Benton Spruance;
and Artwork by 18 Gallery Artists
[July 10 to September 12, 2010]

OPENING RECEPTION
SATURDAY, JULY 10, 2010
6:00 TO 9:00 PM

MOBY DICK PARTY
SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 12, 2010
5:00 TO 8:00 PM

New Hope Sidetracks Art Gallery is going one better than the lost white beluga whale, which traveled up the Delaware almost to Trenton a few years back, by bringing “Moby Dick on the Delaware” to New Hope all summer long. Featured are the “Moby Dick Suite” of painter and print-maker Bert Yarborough of New Hampshire and Provincetown; the aluminum sculpture, paintings and ink drawings of Timothy Woodman of Provincetown; and one major color lithograph from “The Passion of Ahab” by Benton Spruance, the mid-20th-century American lithographer. Also featured are thematic works by 18 Sidetracks Gallery artists.

The show will open Saturday, July 10, with a public reception from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, and close with a “Moby Dick Party” on Sunday, September 12, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
Bert Yarborough completed his “Moby Dick Suite” in 2000, following in the great tradition of artwork inspired by the Mellville classic – from the illustrations of Rockwell Kent and the lithographs of Spruance to the serigraphs of LeRoy Neiman and the cast aluminum wall paintings of Frank Stella. Yarborough’s Suite of 10 mixed media works (9 of which are in the current show) are bold and bright, intense and expressionistic. The raw emotion unleashed by Mellville’s prose is captured in ink, watercolor and enamel on layered tracing paper stretched over lightweight wooden frames. A seeming fragility of materials is married to the strength of symbol, color and line.

Bert is professor of art at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, New Hampshire, and a long-time resident teacher at the Fine Arts Work Center summer season in Provincetown – with special responsibility for the print-making program. He has been a Yaddo Fellow at Saratoga Springs, a Fulbright Fellow in Nigeria and a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship. Currently he is represented by artSTRAND Gallery in Provincetown and by McGowan Fine Art Gallery in Concord, New Hampshire.

Timothy Woodman’s art, like that of Bert Yarborough, is new to the New Hope-Lambertville Arts community. But he has long been known in New York City where he has been shown by the Tibor de Nagy and Zabriskie Galleries, and on Cape Cod where he has been featured at Cherrystone Gallery in Wellfleet and represented by the Albert Merola Gallery in Provincetown, by whose courtesy he appears at Sidetracks Gallery.

In the summer of 2007, the Merola Gallery presented Woodman’s “Moby Dick – the chapters,” 135 small oil-on-board paintings, one image for each chapter of the grand novel. Five of these chapter paintings will be in the “Moby Dick on the Delaware” show. Accompanying them will be two original ink drawings on the same theme, with the crowning artwork an oil on aluminum wall sculpture especially created for the Sidetracks show, called simply “Ahab.” Such small aluminum sculptures are unique to Woodman, works for which he is widely known and avidly collected.

Benton Spruance (1904-1967), at the height of his career in 1965, began work on the 27 color lithographic images inspired by Melville’s novel which crowned his life’s work as a leading American print-maker. Most of these are available only in compete sets, entitled “The Passion of Ahab,” but a few additional single sheets were printed – including “Ahab Aloft” appearing in “Moby Dick on the Delaware.” Spruance was at work supervising the final stages of printing when he unexpectedly died in 1967.

Joining with the above three artists, each with a work on the “Moby Dick on the Delaware” theme, are 18 of the artists featured over the past 4-1/2 years since New Hope Sidetracks Art Gallery first began in the Fall of 2005:

Local artists Mark Deasy of Doylestown, Steve Evans of Philadelphia, Richard Gabriele of Langhorne, Edgar Hall of Quakertown, Betty Jacobsen of Doylestown, Diane Koss of Westmont, New Jersey, Aaron Kreydt of New Hope, Yvonne Love of Chalfont,Elizabeth Miller McCue of Yardley and Leah K. Tomaino of Randolph, New Jersey.

National artists: Paul Bowen of Vermont, McWillie Chambers of Manhattan, Ralf Feyl of Maine, Paul Graubard of Massachusetts, Jefferson Hayman of New York, Jane Henry of Manhattan, Robert Henry of Cape Cod and M. P. Landis of Brooklyn.

New Hope Sidetracks Art Gallery neighbors the New Hope Arts Center at 2A Stockton Avenue, where Bridge Street meets the railroad tracks, with parking best at nearby Union Square. [Sidetracks will be closed for vacation from August 13 through August 27.]

LAMBERTVILLE CELEBRATES CINEMA WITH ARTIST VISIONS FILM FESTIVAL

Lambertville, NJ— July 22 - 25, 2010 (Thursday-Sunday), ARTIST VISIONS FILM FESTIVAL will celebrate the creative visions of filmmakers from Hunterdon-Bucks County and beyond by featuring outdoor film screenings and live music on the river in the Lambertville Station parking lot (rain location: ACME Screening Room), a video installation in the center of town on the Wachovia Bank building, a local student film festival at the ACME Screening Room, a “Visual-Treasure Hunt” in town and City-wide events at galleries and shops. The Festival will also feature a nightclub style party on Saturday, July 24th, at the Rago Arts building, with the Lambertville-based band Jac: a six-piece Latin-European inspired indy-rock/folk ensemble.

“This film festival is taking a turn, away from the standard festival experience of watching dozens of amazing films in one weekend and instead, taking a more interactive approach which incorporates visual-filmic experiences into our walking, talking experience, right in town.” says Sara Scully, Program Producer. “We are doing this with the Visual-Treasure Hunt, the video installation, outdoor feature film screenings and the student films focused around the theme, ‘Where I’m From’.”

Famous 60’s rock poster artist and Bucks County-native, Bonnie MacLean has designed the commemorative poster for the film festival which we be sold online and at the festival to raise funds for the ACME Screening Room, Lambertville’s weekly film series. For the sale, 200 limited edition silk screen prints of the poster will be created by Firehouse Printing in San Francisco, California. This is the first time in forty years Ms. MacLean has created a new event poster in her signature style. First made famous for her 1960's psychedelic rock posters, which have been on display at the Museum of Modern Art, Bonnie MacLean has since built a career as a fine artist, living in Bucks County, PA.

ROCK POSTER SHOW & FILMS: An exhibition of Ms. MacLean’s posters and a collection of original WEEN rock posters will be held during the Festival in the ACME Screening Room lobby, in connection with a screening of American Artifact, a documentary about the history of rock posters and the recently released documentary When You’re Strange, about the classic rock band, The Doors,. American Artifact’s director, Merle Becker and the drummer/rock poster collector from WEEN, Claude Coleman will lead a discussion after American Artifact. Reprints of MacLean’s vintage posters along with silk screens of her poster for the film fest will be for sale during the exhibition. Ms. MacLean will be present to sign posters.

VISUAL-TREASURE HUNT: The festival’s Visual-Treasure Hunt will be a community-storytelling-project held during the Film Festival.

“The Visual-Treasure Hunt cultivates our collective artistic eyes and brings our visions together. It also harnesses each persons power to be a media maker and storyteller by using the tools right in their hands, literally, a cell phone and imagination.” says Sara Scully

Anyone can participate in the Visual-Treasure Hunt by solving 10 Hunt clues that lead to ten separate places in Lambertville-New Hope. At each place, participants will find the Hunt logo, which will tell them they are at the right spot. They then will answer a question provided with the clue for that spot, about that place via cell phone video, txt or photo message sent to a specific email address. All participants’ message-responses or “Hunt findings” will be compiled in a random linear slideshow on the Visual-Treasure Hunt website to create a story, told by a community. Anyone can visit the website and view the slideshow. 10 Hunt clues will be provided online (printed copies will also be available at the Lambertville Library). The clues, questions and Hunt website URL will be released in July 2010, prior to the Artist Visions Film Festival. The Visual-Treasure Hunt was created by Sara Scully, Ethan Rublee and students from Temple University.

OUTDOOR FILMS & LIVE MUSIC: Outdoor films will be screened at sundown in the beautiful riverside parking lot at the Inn at Lambertville Station, Thursday night and Saturday night. The Saturday night outdoor show will be a family night starting with a performance of The Bugs of Blackwood, by Piccirillo Sciencetelling (http://www.piccirillo.org/) and a screening of the critically acclaimed animated film, The Iron Giant. Friday night of the festival in the riverside parking lot the band Chris Harford and the Band of Changes accompanied by members from the band WEEN will play before and during the fireworks over the Delaware River. Sunday night the High Hearts band will play in the riverside parking lot . In case of rain, outdoor films and live music will be presented indoors at the ACME Screening Room.

VIDEO INSTALLATION: The Wachovia Bank video installation will feature short films from Hunterdon-Bucks County filmmakers and artists projected onto the expansive white wall of the Bank on the corner of Bridge and Union Streets in Lambertville.

STUDENT FILMS: For the Student Film Festival portion of the event, we are accepting film submissions from youth, ages 14-24, from Hunterdon County, NJ and Bucks County, PA. Two main categories for which local youth entrants are encouraged to submit films are: Where I’m From: People/Community Hunterdon or Bucks County and Where I’m From: Land/Landscape Hunterdon or Bucks County. Students can also enter under other categories (animation, feature, etc) but the Friends are encouraging local students to create work on our local culture, community, landscape or a specific local person, in order to celebrate this wonderful and diverse area we live in.

In the ever-growing world of social networking - from texting to Twitter to status updates - young people are increasingly relying on “short-hand” methods of communication. This places a student’s communication skills and personal development at risk, a rising concern among many parents these days. Kensho workshops use the screenwriting medium as a phenomenal learning arena for writers of all ages. Screenwriting is a relatively short form of writing, fast-paced, with an equal balance of description, character development, and dialogue.

For students, Kensho workshops focus on strengthening overall writing skills, an essential element in preparing for application essays, SAT testing, and college classes. Additionally, adult writers are inspired to challenge themselves to higher levels of the craft by setting and meeting specific weekly goals. All workshops encourage and foster public speaking, confidence building, and sharing of ideas and suggestions. Paul Smith, instructor and owner of Kensho states, “Our workshops give students the opportunity to connect with their inner self, explore their ‘right brain’ and attempt something that they may have always wanted to do -- write that movie, video game or cartoon. We help young students in developing an appreciation for the art of writing, which to some can be a challenge. We make writing fun! Plus we introduce students to the process and fundamentals of screenwriting. Everything you see on the screen begins with the script. Not only is Kensho a great place to develop one’s writing skills, it’s a terrific starting point for aspiring filmmakers of all ages”, adds Paul.
Paul Smith is a writer and the owner of Kensho. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Film Production and Screenwriting from Ithaca College. He has written over 15 screenplays with some either sold or optioned. He is the co-writer for the feature film script, DR. SHROUD, a long running animated series, and is currently working on eight new episodes of DR. SHROUD for a pitch to Adult Swim. He has worked as a development executive for a large Hollywood studio and as a writer and film editor for a popular nature series on PBS as well as for National Geographic. Paul Smith is represented by the Creative Management Company in New York City.

Daywitt strives for high positive energy. “Get the word ‘don’t’ out of your vocabulary. You will go with what you focus on,” says Daywitt, “so direct your attention to what you want.”

Listen – really listen – to your client when he or she is speaking.
Set goals. Each day act on a task that will move you toward meeting these goals.
Focus on one thing at a time.
Talk to yourself about who you are and know what is personally important to you.

Daywitt also believes that by taking care of yourself, you help your business. “Jump out of bed and do ten jumping jacks every morning,” advises Daywitt. It is an energy booster. Then, be sure to feed your brain with breakfast. A nourished brain performs at its peak.

ART AND POETRY WALK WILL BENEFIT LOCAL CAT SANCTUARY
Local children’s book writer and illustrator hosts poetry and art walk to benefit
Tabby’s Place and National Adopt-A-Shelter-cat Month

Stockton, NJ - On Saturday, June 12, children’s book writer and illustrator Lewis Matheney will host an event to benefit Tabby’s Place, a sanctuary for cats located in Ringoes, New Jersey.
The event is entitled “Zoom Cat Zoom!” and is a poetry and art walk that will take place in Lambertville, New Jersey and New Hope, Pennsylvania from 3:00 to 6:00 pm.

Participants will be given a playbill with poetry from Matheney’s book “Zoom Cat Zoom!” and a map that will lead them through a short walking tour of Lambertville and New Hope. They will match poetry in the playbill with pieces of art they will find at ten merchants and stores in both towns.
In addition to art at each location, participants will find postcards that show a Tabby’s Place cat in need of adoption. The postcards can be mailed, so that participants who cannot adopt a cat can spread the word about the cats to friends and family “for the cost of just a few postage stamps,” says Matheney.

June is National Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat Month and Matheney hopes to raise awareness of cats in need of adoption, as well as highlighting the enormous number of services that Tabby’s Place offers. The facility is cage-free and operates an adoption center, as well as a hospital and a hospice facility. The facility treats and cares for cats that come from around the world for the specialized care they might be given for everything from cancer and diabetes to heart disease and blindness.
The “Zoom Cat Zoom!” walk will begin at Left Bank Books, 32 Coryell Street, Lambertville, where participants will also find a drop-off bin for various items that Tabby’s Place needs to have donated. A list of needed items can be found at www.tabbysplace.org/wishlist.html. The donation bin will available from 3:00 to 6:00 pm on June 12 for anyone wishing to donate items who cannot participate in the walk.

The entire walk takes approximately forty-five minutes and participants may begin the walk at any time between 3:00 and 6:00 pm. The walk will also highlight points of interest in both towns. The event will conclude at New Hope Arts Center, where all participants in the walk will receive a goody bag and enjoy complimentary food and beverages.

In case of rain, the event will take place Sunday the 13th from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

Small Business? Tips for Your Retirement Planning
Doylestown, May 2010 -- "Like investment diversification, tax diversification is desirable," Nancy L. Wasch, Esq., partner in the law firm of Archer & Greiner, told more than 40 members at the May morning meeting of the Women’s Business Forum™ (WBF) of Bucks County.
That's why small business owners should evaluate a variety of options -- from IRAs to 401(k)s for their retirement planning and those of their employees, she said.
The Doylestown resident compared some of what business owners, including solopreneurs, should consider when setting up and operating a retirement plan, to what kind of and how many assets they have, to how accessible those assets need to be.
Some tips she offered are:

Roth IRAs can be a great investment but have a $5,000 limit ($6,000 at age 50) because there is no required distribution at age 70 1/2.
If your spouse is highly compensated, put away as much of your salary as you can into your retirement accounts.
Many insurance companies or CPAs can set up a plan for you (cost may be about $1,000).
While the form 5500 is not hard to fill out each year, it does need to be kept up to date with the IRS laws, which frequently change.

Wasch can be reached at nwasch@archerlaw.com

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
“MUD & INK” at The Artists’ Gallery
June 11 – July 4, 2010

Lambertville, NJ. Sculptor and ceramicist Patricia Lange of Hopewell, New Jersey loves to feel the earth in her hands, using clay to mold her unique, organically-shaped, nature-inspired signature pieces. Princeton artist Jennifer Cadoff builds striking large-scale drawings from tiny ink marks on watercolor paper. The tactile forms and intriguing textures of these works play off each other in an exciting new show at the Artists’ Gallery in Lambertville. Both artists’ work is frequently selected for prominent juried shows in the tri-state area, and each has received numerous awards for their work in regional and national exhibitions.

Pat Lange is drawn to the earth – its subtle colors, its textural variations, its simple beauties. Each of the sculptures in this exhibition -- some stoneware, some terracotta; some wall-hanging, others free-standing – reflects this passion. Gourd-shaped clay globes sprout jaunty real-life twigs collected from Lange’s yard. A tall, proud, totem-like sculpture is built from dozens of small bone-shaped pieces. Several wall-hangings have been “smoked” -- literally burned – adding variation to the clay’s natural warmth and richness and further enhancing the complexity of their surface markings. “I see my work as a process of experimentation,” says Lange. “Some of my favorite pieces have been, essentially, accidents, and I love that spontaneity in making art.” Her work, which also includes large outdoor pieces in metal, is installed in a number of corporations, including Bristol-Myers Squibb, the New Jersey Hospital Association, Weyerhaeuser Co., 101 Carnegie Center, Princeton Unitarian Church, Curacao Trading Co., Shoemaker USA, Inc. and in private collections. Some of her clay sculptures are also suitable for use outdoors.

Jennifer Cadoff ‘s work for this show has moved in a new direction: abstraction. “Even while I worked with representational subject matter over the past few years, making the marks on the paper, building the composition line by line, dot by dot, scribble by scribble has always been an integral, and in some ways primary, consideration,” she says. “For this show, I stripped away the “subject matter” even as my mark-making techniques remain exactly the same. It’s been exhilarating -- like stepping onto the high wire without a net.” In addition to the ink drawings, some of the works on display are paper-on-paper collages, in which each element or layer is also entirely hand-drawn. Jennifer’s work is part of the permanent collection of the Mercer County Cultural and Heritage Commission. She is a signature member of the Philadelphia Watercolor Society and a full member of the Garden State Watercolor Society.

The opening reception for “Mud & Ink” is Saturday, June 12, from 5 to 8 pm. There will also be an opportunity to meet the artists for “Coffee and Conversation” on Sunday June 27, from 2 to 4 pm.

The Artists’ Gallery has recently moved to beautiful new gallery space at 18 Bridge Street, in the heart of historic Lambertville, New Jersey. The gallery is a partnership of eighteen established artists with national and international accomplishments and attracts collectors from across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Delaware. Gallery hours are Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11 am to 6 pm, and most holiday Mondays. Additional hours can be arranged by appointment.

YOUNG LANGHORNE ARTIST
RICHARD GABRIELE
RECEIVES RARE HONOR

New Hope Sidetracks Art Gallery is pleased to announce that Gallery Artist Richard Gabriele of Langhorne in Bucks County has been awarded a rare honor – a second Fellowship within a four-year period – by the Morris Graves Foundation in Northern California, to begin in mid-July, 2010.

Each year the Foundation invites a small number of resident artists, with only one artist in residence at a time. It is a measure of the confidence the Graves Foundation has in Richard’s artistic achievement and promise that this second invitation has been received so soon after the first.

The Morris Graves Foundation forms part of the legacy of the 20th-Century American visionary painter. Before his death in 2001, Graves established these Fellowships to encourage the development of young, like-minded artists – making available his own studio nestled on 150 acres amid redwood groves, where the fog and sea mists that nourish the trees move in from the Pacific Ocean and modulate the rays of the setting sun. The residency in such a setting is meant in turn to nourish the artist’s own visionary work.

Richard graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2006. His graduate thesis exhibition caught the interest of the trustees of the Foundation. An invitation to the first retreat at the Morris Graves Foundation followed later that same year.

That summer’s experience helped him move from his earlier figurative works to a series of paintings which reflect, in his own words, “a manner of painting from improvisation [suggested by the setting sun viewed through the shifting ocean mists] that I discovered during experiments with color washes on thin handmade Japanese paper, when the interaction of layered pigment suggested the image of a bird.” Over a multi-color base, Richard works his magic with egg tempera painting – exotic birds with personalities, graceful shaped vessels, the precise architecture of animal bones. There is a quiet, a hush, an interior reverence about his work, bound up within his simple hand-crafted frames.

One of his works from this series, “Homage to Graves” was accepted for display both at Art of the State. Pennsylvania 2009 and at the Woodmere Museum’s Contemporary Visions 2010. Another work, Restless Steller’s Jay, won first place in the Lancaster Art Association’s National Juried Exhibition 2009.

The contemporary painter, Charles Stegeman, has written of Richard’s paintings, “What makes Richard’s work important...is that he struggles relentlessly to make each brushstroke expressive of the whole...Richard has proven to be capable of learning from Morris Graves’ vision and artistic goals, which suggests he may be of similar creative capacity.”

Richard hopes this summer to be open once again to the influence of painting in Graves’ own studio, this time perhaps redirecting his attention to the human figure.

In 2009 Richard designed and built a new studio in Buck’s County. That same year he had his first Gallery show at New Hope Sidetracks Art Gallery, where his work continues on display. He teaches fine arts and history of art at Bucks County Community College, Salem Community College and Raritan Valley Community College.

New Hope Sidetracks Art Gallery neighbors the New Hope Arts Center at 2A Stockton Avenue, where Bridge Street meets the railroad tracks, with parking best at nearby Union Square.

PRESS RELEASE:

Etta Winigrad of Paoli is welcomed again this year with two entries in her patented (and popular) smoked clay style, “Birdman” and “Hidden III.”

Returning after an absence of several years is Nancy Kay Anderson of Lambertville, presenting a duo of intricate works woven from such materials as white pine bark, silk, waxed linen and metallic thread.

Among the sculptors exhibiting at New Hope Arts for the first time are: Margarita Leon of Princeton with two sculptures using such elements as copper, clay, resin and eggshell – “Con rembo y confianza “ and “Miendo aguantado; Leora Brecher of Wycote PA with her spiral shell-like clay Reclining Figures; and Simone Spicer of Wyndmoor PA, with her heroic and striking “Soldier” constructed from cardboard and rubble.

Following the opening reception, the exhibition will open to the public at noon on Sunday, May 2, and continue through June 12, 2010.

The New Hope Arts Center is located at the corner of Bridge Street and Stockton Avenue
in New Hope. The Gallery is open Thursday-Sunday from 12-5 for the duration of the exhibit.

The Arts & Cultural Council of Bucks County celebrates National Arts Advocacy Day with Rally in Doylestown

Newtown — On April 12th, nearly 100 people gathered for a Rally at the Bucks County Courthouse in Doylestown to raise awareness of the importance of arts and culture in the life of Bucks County. This event was organized by the Arts & Cultural Council of Bucks County in celebration of National Arts Advocacy Day and featured several speakers, including the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance’s Nick Crosson who reported that “arts and culture generates about $159 million in revenue for state and local governments in southeastern PA.”

Many legislative representatives were also in attendance, including Larry Glick, Outreach Director for Congressman Patrick Murphy, Ryan Bevitz from Representative Steve Santarsiero’s office and County Commissioner Charles H. Martin.

Dr. Eddie Frasca-Stuart, an educator at the Bucks County Intermediate Unit in the field of assessment, curriculum, and instruction stated that she had “learned that by incorporating the arts into literacy education, I could create learning that stimulated thinking, honored my students’ natural curiosity, helped to develop their passion for life and an openness to unlimited horizons. I had discovered, in fact, that the most efficient and effective way for us to create proficient readers and writers was through the arts.”

Rally attendees were encouraged to be educated voters, communicate with legislators and spread the word about the importance of arts advocacy. Event organizers also distributed a list of the contact information for the six gubernatorial candidates, and asked citizens to call and email these candidates for their position on arts and culture and then encourage support of arts and culture as an essential part of Bucks County’s economy, communities and schools.

This message was echoed at the National Arts Advocacy Day meetings that same day in Washington DC, where Congressional staffers urged citizens to share personal stories with their legislators because they make the strongest case for public funding of the arts. A&C Council President Fran Orlando said “Public policy makers want to know how citizens have been impacted by arts funding, how communities have been revitalized by the arts, and how the skills children learn in school have improved because of training in the arts. We need to start telling our stories to all policy makers whether on the federal, state or local level.”

The Arts & Cultural Council of Bucks County’s mission is to foster, strengthen and promote Bucks County’s diverse arts and culture, thereby contributing to a more vibrant community. To learn more about how you can advocate for the arts in Bucks County, visit the Arts & Cultural Council’s website at www.bucksarts.org.

The Arts & Cultural Council also invites everyone interested in supporting Bucks County arts & culture to attend their Annual Members’ Cinco de Mayo party on May 5th from 6-8 p.m. at the Stocking Works in Newtown. Details are available at www.buckarts.org or by calling 215-968-8229.

ROBERT HENRY:
THE CREEK YOU’RE UP…
THE ONE YOU KNOW
[May 1 to June 13, 2010]

OPENING RECEPTION
SATURDAY, MAY 1, 2010
6:00 TO 9:00 PM

“MEET THE ARTIST” RECEPTION
SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 2010
6:00 TO 9:00 PM

Painter Robert Henry often states that he continually searches for “the full range of what it is possible to express.” New Hope Sidetracks Art Gallery is pleased to present a selection from what Henry has discovered so far – in an exhibition of oil paintings and works on paper entitled (after one of his paintings on exhibit) “The Creek You’re Up…The One You Know.”

The show will open Saturday, May 1, with a public reception from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, and continue through June 13. A “Meet the Artist” reception will be held on Saturday, June 12, again from 6:00 to 9:00 PM.

Rooted at first in Brooklyn, where he was born and later studied with Ad Reinhardt and Kurt Seligman, Robert Henry remained an influential art teacher at Brooklyn College for many years. Lured to Provincetown in the early ‘50s by Hans Hofmann, his strong sense of color and his creative tension are both influenced to this day by the three years Bob studied with Hofmann on Cape Cod and in Manhattan.

In tribute to his teacher, Bob often speaks of Hofmann’s involvement “in the (generous) application of paint. That’s never left me.” And Hofmann’s involvement with “the idea of painting being a search,” Bob adds: “I see the activity of painting as a search for meaning,” not just a technique, not just the making of an object or the completion of a commodity.

‘I never start with an idea, that comes afterwards,”Henry says. He starts with an image and follows where it leads, painting with a hunting knife. And semi-dried paint. The knife scrapes and chops paint from his palette. The knife works the paint and that working reveals the resulting whole.

His figurative works – which form the majority of the Sidetracks show – are like short stories or one-act plays inscribed on the one lonely page of the canvas or paper at hand. Something has happened before, something may possibly happen next, but the narration has suddenly paused – giving time for us both to catch up and perhaps catch our breath. The stories are rooted in mystery and shadows. The figures are strangely happy, wondering, wandering. They are of the earth, both rooted and rootless – but hardly ruthless. They are consumed by daily life and its challenges. They relate to their environment or each other, not the viewer.

Such works are like dark dreams we lamely try to share in the morning’s light with someone we love. We try to remember, try to explain, until the conversation stalls and we come up short. It remains after all just another dream...but it is ours.

Whether figurative or abstract, Henry’s works are never still. There’s a restlessness, a tension, an imbalance within an ever-shifting world.

The artworks are exciting in their variety. His stories are much more than twice-told-tales by some garrulous storyteller. “I hate to repeat myself,” he states. Within the many continuing themes he has explored over the years, there are ever-changing riffs and surprising variations.

The works are rooted in the act of drawing. For over 50 years, Bob has been am almost weekly participant in drawing from live models, a strong influence on his figurative work and his teaching. “I’m trying to unite drawing and painting,” he states, “I struggle constantly to get the freedom of drawings in my painting.” Sketching figures in motion, even passers-by on the street, inspires him: “Figure painting is like making a dance,” he confides, for the power of dance can express a full range of emotions.

All this is illustrated in the Sidetracks show, an attempt to present to a new audience a wide range of the amazing and challenging work of this painter’s painter. Colors collide, slashing lines intersect, figures float or swing or embrace or simply stand dazed and amazed. Individuals surviving the elements, as in “Swamped,” struggling in a deep-green troubled sea. Couples in stand-offs with each other, as in “Buddy Can You Spare a Dime?” with something of an awful awkwardness. Random groups pondering the unknown, as in “The Light,” intently peering into what seems a bottomless pool.

Viewers of these works may be somewhat unsettled by the experience – which may mean they may be today and probably have been at some point yesterday...unsettled too.

Robert Henry, now a resident of Wellfleet on Cape Cod, continues to teach at Castle Center for the Arts in nearby Truro, at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum (where he had a major retrospective exhibition in 2008) and the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown. His shows at Berta Walker Gallery nearby have been something of an annual “must-see” experience. His art is in major collections both nationally and internationally. New Hope Sidetracks Gallery is proud to have included his work in its Naked in New Hope group shows for the past three years, and to count Bob’s wife, Selina Trieff, and their daughter, Jane Henry, as Gallery Artists.

New Hope Sidetracks Art Gallery neighbors the New Hope Arts Center at 2A Stockton Avenue, where Bridge Street meets the railroad tracks, with parking best at nearby Union Square.
