November 10-11, 2012, 3rd Annual Fine Art and Crafts at the Westfield Armory, Westfield, NJ
8x10 $385; 10x10 $435 - - 130 exhibitors

Situated in affluent Westfield, NJ, this indoor show is a welcome addition to our long-standing, successful outdoor events. Building on our database of 28,000 show attendees, we provide an extensive advertising campaign that includes highway billboards, newspapers, direct mailing and posters/discount postcard distribution and more. This past November, the attendance was approximately 5,000 attendees.

Featuring approximately 130 fine artists and fine craftspeople, the armory is piped and draped and the aisles are carpeted with runners creating the appropriate upscale atmosphere. This is a gated show with the publicity postcards and newspaper ads being discount opportunities. The hours of the show are 10am-6pm on Saturday and 10am-5pm on Sunday.

Why participate in a Rose Squared Productions, Inc. show:
 

* We are super experienced: 2012 is our thirty-first year promoting shows in affluent Essex and Union Counties in New Jersey.

* We began 35 years ago as clay artists participating in shows in the northeast.

* We take the jurying process very seriously with regard to buy/sell using a number of investigative tech- niques including internet research, studio visits, and input from our exhibitors. Our exhibitors can confirm that removal of inappropriate exhibitors most definitely occurs.

* We have no set deadlines since we close each category as it reaches a specific percentage of the show's expected total number of exhibitors. Jewelry fills by the end of January with approximately 20% of a show's total, which is fair to the participating jewelers and the public looking for a balanced show.

* We have built a reputation of treating others the way we want to be treated.

* We create an exhibitor friendly atmosphere where exhibitors get to park behind their booths at three out of four of our outdoor shows.

* We have a great web site with individual show exhibitor lists linked to participants' web sites, and images of exhibitors' work on each show's gallery. (check them out to see the quality of the exhibitors).

* Single $25 annual application fee regardless of the number of shows applying for.

de Kooning: A Retrospective - MOMA


This website includes selected paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints from the MoMA exhibition de Kooning: A Retrospective (September 18, 2011–January 9, 2012) and related publication, both devoted to the full scope of the career of Willem de Kooning (American, b. the Netherlands, 1904–1997). Among these are some of the artist’s most famous, landmark paintings—including Pink Angels (c. 1945), Excavation (1950), and the celebrated third Woman series (1950–53)—plus examples from all of his most important series, ranging from his figurative paintings of the early 1940s to the breakthrough black-and-white compositions of 1948–49, and from the urban abstractions of the mid-1950s to the artist’s return to figurations in the 1960s, and the large gestural abstractions of the following decade. text and image source: http://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2011/dekooning/

"Braving the New World" - Mary Martin Gallery

“BRAVING THE NEW WORLD”
AT MARY MARTIN GALLERY 
 

According to Randall LaGro, intuitive painter and printmaker, our world is definitely in a time of change and transition. LaGro speaks pertinently to the situation in his show, “Braving the New World”, which will be the featured show in April at the Mary Martin Gallery.

Opening reception will be held on the evening of April the 6st from 5 pm to 8 pm.
 
Honoring the latent strengths and beauties of our human nature and the mystery which surrounds our lives is the theme. “This show is about the quiet glories of the human potential, our fellowship with creation and the conviction that we are bound to all of history and humanity”, states LaGro.
 
Using his signature artistic style, “Intuitive Poetic Realism and Abstraction”, LaGro combines elements of the conscious and the subconscious with the goal to encourage the viewer take on the subject and images as their own, finding their own story and wonderment.

Paintings, "Mystic Journey", "The child shall lead" and " Last of a species" are “poetic invitations to our primordial nature”; according to LaGro: “we are beings on a journey and what shall be the result is the ultimate question”. 

A graduate of the Academy of Art College in San Francisco, LaGro has been living in Taos, New Mexico for more than eighteen years where he paints in the historic Joseph H. Sharp studio.

As well as being nationally acclaimed for his paintings, LaGro is recognized for his special technique that has raised the standard of monotype processing, a widely misunderstood medium. Technically a print in that it involves the transfer of image, monotypes however are one of a kind, singular pieces of artwork, not multiples prints. Several of LaGro’s monochromatic monotypes are part of the show.

LaGro’s symbolic and narrative paintings and monotypes are meant to be reflective and reminders of our human journey and our potential to be fully realized. “I feel a sense of urgency. However, rather than a shout, a rant or some kind of clever art speak, I'm relying on the recognition of the human voice. I paint the paintings intuitively; and I don't like to expound too much on my thoughts, but as an example of my fascination with the power of art” states LaGro.

Randall LaGro is represented in Charleston by the Mary Martin Gallery, 103 Broad Street, Charleston, SC 29401.  Call 843-723-0303 for more information.

Established in 1964, the East Lansing Art Festival is held every Spring on the weekend prior to the Memorial Day weekend and is a festive kickoff of the art fair season. The popular Festival attracts an estimated 60,000 attendees from across the region. In addition to the 200-220 juried exhibitors, emerging artists are also invited to participate through a competitive selection process.
 

East Lansing is a charming University town with a wide variety of shops, restaurants, galleries and the beautiful Michigan State University campus across the street. ELAF attracts well-educated visitors, unaffected by the economic downturn in the State including professional people from State government and the University. Festival programming includes well-planned entertainment, and arts activities that enhance the art rather than distract from it. Affiliation with regional media and statewide Public TV and radio stations guarantees the festival is well promoted - bringing the right people to you.
 

From the director, Corinn VanWyck:
"Our artist surveys show that artists experience great sales at our festival - many, many artists reported that they had their best sales in quite a while at our show and were very happy to kick off the festival season in East Lansing! We have an informed and enthusiastic community of collectors here and they really welcome and appreciate the artists."
