Fine Art Magazine Update: Marseilles
I am presenting the piece ..the Color of Black Velvet in the upcoming street art auction of Marseille in Paris France called LECLERE.. The piece is painted on black velvet .. with the medium spray paint... and my intentions behind the piece was to basically bring colors out of the dark texture... from its organic shapes letting the color illuminate from the dark surface and better yet to challenge myself when it comes to the spray paint medium on a surface of velvet..the dimensions are 104x81cm and the rate is 1000 to 1200 euros...

NEW GRANT ESTABLISHED:
FOR MATURE AMERICAN PAINTERS
Provincetown, MA: Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) is proud to announce The Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed Foundation Grant, a new source of funding for mature American painters. This marks the first year that these grants are made available to the public.
The late Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed were artists, teachers, and active members of PAAM and the Provincetown arts community for over 50 years. Lillian, in particular, was sensitive to the challenges that artists confront, especially artists working against the mainstream or outside of popular schools of art. Her desire to provide financial support to mature artists through this generous endowment gift speaks to her passionate commitment to art for art's sake and art created regardless of the demands and whims of the market place. This gift has positioned PAAM to, for the first time, be a grantee - an opportunity to financially assist artists on a national level.
"PAAM is thrilled to be a position that allows us to distribute this kind of funding to painters in need. It's hard to be an artist; the rising cost of living and the effects of the recession have hit the creative community in a major way. To be able to offset some of those expenses is truly a dream come true, "says PAAM's Executive Director, Chris McCarthy. "Additionally, we are very grateful to the Foundation executors for providing PAAM with an unprecedented opportunity."
Grants will be offered to American painters aged 45 or older who demonstrate financial need. The primary emphasis is to promote public awareness and a commitment to American art, as well as encouraging interest in artists who lack adequate recognition. Grants will range from $5,000 to $10,000. Applications are available online at www.paam.org or by calling 508.487.1750. Completed applications must be postmarked by August 16, 2010.
Provincetown Art Association and Museum's (PAAM) Lillian Orlowsky / William Freed Museum School (LOWF) serves students of all experience levels, offering year-round programming including workshops, art history lectures, scholarships, and free classes for adults and children, led by professional teaching artists. To register for a class go to www.paam.org or call 508.487.1750.

Art Reflects Nature:
FAM's response to the Gulf Coast Oil spill.
Oil Spill, #2 & 4 Lois Dicasola
Fine Art magazine FB fan page artist: abstracts and figurative post.
“Art changes the way we perceive and imagine. Art is a doorway to change. Through artistic vision, cultures and societies realize their dream. Together we share the potential for creative expression. Art equals social change.” -Jamie Ellin Forbes
L/R,Maria Varga, "Our Mother Earth", "Untitled", Rusty Harden, "Abstract Minerals Known as Rhythms"
Art is a strong voice for change. Abstract and figurative works contemplating nature illustrated by artists as they work out the thematically how they are affected, inspired by the stream/ flow of nature surrounding them are posted here.
To constructively channel my outrage over the Gulf Oil spill I have requested posts from our Fine Art Magazine Face book Fans, to state through image their reflections regarding nature, as a constructive response to the Gulf Oil spill which will impact out national environment for years to come. These are their images.
How we see is by artists as they enhance nature to remind us through their vision what we find valuable, beautiful, moving and touching. Artists provide the common thread to all peoples employing the language of depiction / figurative imagery to share the metaphor connecting our thoughts. From Color Field, abstract expressionists, abstract impressionists, through realistic and figurative art image we draw the collective vision of our time.
Thank you Fine Art Magazine Fan page artists for contributing to this post.
