Exhibiting January 15 - January 30 Art League of Long Island


Exhibiting January 15 - January 30

Clay Convergence
Inspirations from the East

Expressions of the West

Recent Works by Susan Kadish & Christopher Delloiacono


Susan Kadish and Christopher Delloiacono, both Long Island-based artists specializing
in three-dimensional representations, display their recent works at the
Art League's Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery January 15 - 30.

Kadish's works, strongly influenced by ancient Asian materials and methods to create unique clay forms and vessels, as well as an array of her figurative Buddha sculptures, are an expression of her artistically diverse abilities. Delloiacono's current body of work uses the ceramic wheel as a tool of both construction and deconstruction. His goals are to demonstrate both his intuitive abilities with the medium and convey a powerful, conceptual perspective.
The combination of both Mrs. Kadish's representationaland figurative work and Mr. Delloiacono's conceptual and abstract work exhibits the true beauty of Clay convergence.

Proceeds from the sale of Mrs. Kadish's work will be donated for scholarships for children with learning disabilities through the Art League of Long Island.
Proceeds from the sale of Mr. Delloiacono's work, especially created for this event, will be donated
to United Cerebral Palsy of Nassau County.

Unions, and Guilds, and Locals, Oh, my! An evening with… IATSE
Event: Wednesday Jan. 12, 2011

Film and television workers represent a highly specialized labor force with unique skills that are hard to place a value on. Among the unions these workers rely on is The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, to bargain with production companies  for minimum wage scales, pension funds, fringe benefits and, as the new media landscape evolves, fair compensation for online content.   
Membership participation and democracy are the cornerstones of the IATSE, advanced by a union structure that enables members to have a direct voice in their working lives. The membership — involved in every phase of a production —  is the driving force behind the effort to obtain the wages, benefits and working conditions they need for themselves and their families. Come hear exactly how the IATSE can support your career. 
PLEASE NOTE: PHOTO ID IS REQUIRED FOR ENTRY INTO THE VENUE
