Discussion and Book Signing with Noted Art Consultant and Gallery Owner Paul Dorrell


Discussion and Book Signing with Noted Art Consultant and Gallery Owner Paul Dorrell
The Art League of Long Island is hosting a discussion and book signing of Paul Dorrell’s book Living the Artist’s Life:

Updated & Revised in the League’s Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery on Friday, November 16 at 7:00pm.  The event is open to the public and there is no fee to attend.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR and Book: Dorrell opened Leopold Gallery in 1991, and has been advancing artists’ careers on a national level ever since.  With clients such as Warner Brothers, the Mayo Clinic and H&R Block, Dorrell knows how to land the big deals, yet also how to win the trust of private collectors. He presents the information so that any artist can learn how to more easily structure a career that works. With sage advice and humorous anecdotes, Dorrell keeps you engaged through each chapter. Whether instructing on how to get your work into a gallery, or how to handle self-doubt, he knows his ground. He also tells the story of his gallery's initial failures and eventual successes. Regardless of your place in the arts, you will benefit from this work.

Praise for Living the Artist's Life: Update & Revised:
·      “The success of the Book hasn’t dimmed Dorrell’s drive to help undiscovered artists get the recognition he feels they deserve.  It’s also heavy on pragmatic advice from pricing and promoting one’s work to gaining acceptance by galleries.”  The Associated Press

·      “Dorrell’s book offers a frank and inspiring look at all aspects of the Artist’s Life, from the creative and emotional challenges to the nuts-and-bolts of the art business.”  Hartford Courant

·      “An entertaining and highly valuable guide for aspiring and working artists.” Murray Dessner, Painting Instructor and Critic, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia.


EVENT FORMAT:  Paul will discuss his Book, Living the Artist’s Life: Updated & Revised, and conduct an abbreviated version of his career workshop, accompanied by a handout with a Q&A session.  A book signing follows the presentation.  To learn more about Paul and his work, go to www.LEOPOLDgallery.com

The Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery is located at 107 East Deer Park Road in Dix Hills.  The gallery is open to the public Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 4 PM and weekends from 11 AM to 4 PM.  For more information call (631) 462-5400 or visit www.artleagueli.org.

Sandra Benny/Richard Vaux:
 A Working Relationship
  gallery photo  
View the artistic beauty of Sandra Benny and Richard Vaux's homage 
to the natural environment. 
  
These internationally acclaimed local artists, who are husband and wife, share a passion for art and nature.  Her nature-inspired works take colored pencil drawing to a rare level of exactitude, producing works that astonish the eye and the mind.    His works of nature-derived abstractions in blown powdered graphite or charcoal (often with an added veil of airbrushed acrylic), and his works in acrylic and oil are "visual poems" of light and illumination.

on September 8!  Hundreds of people of all ages enjoyed a day of art activities. In each of the Art League's art studios and gallery, the family-friendly event had something for everyone: live art demonstrations, hands-on workshops, mural-making, a "Small Delights" Art Show and Sale, plus other crowd-pleasing activities. Take a look at the highlights of the day on our website!  

NY's Golden Age of Bridges 3  
Antonio Masi's Book demonstration and book signing on September 29  
proved to be a smashing success with a gallery full of eager spectators.   
Mr. Masi is a local artist whose fascination with the bridges of New York  
City inspired him to team up with author Joan Marans Dim to write  
New York's Golden Age of Bridges.
