Join us Saturday for the Opening of Conversation II: 7-9 p.m.

No Pop: 130 Park Street, 2nd Floor, New Haven, CT, 06511

Above Bubble & Squeak

RING OUR DOOR BELL.

 

As mixed media artists, we explore content that relates to the transformation of everyday materials from the funky to the subtle. For this exhibition, No Pop invites 15 artists to be in dialogue about salability as it relates to their individual art practices. We sell affordable work between $30-$1000. Buying art is an investment into a studio practice. We encourage first time as well as seasoned collectors to join us in this dialogue. This month's topic has two primary aims: to contextualize the scope of each artists ' work, and to sell art that relates to artist ethics. New Haven has enormous potential to grow culturally; you make it happen.

 Participating Artist includes Phil Lique
 
with Guest Chef:

Elise Dunphe (The Illusive Goat)

 

No Pop fosters the arching relationship between artist and patron, and we reassert value of the artists work in intellectual and monetary terms. The studio will proudly display a stock of works for sale: our aim is to sell books, sketches, prints, photographs, small models and sculptures, etc. that can inform viewers and establish relationships. As artists, Laura Marsh and Phil Lique, inform the community about creative needs by integrating the boundaries between exhibiting, living, producing, and teaching. Our philosophy embraces interdisciplinary artists who reference popular culture and provide social commentary. Much like our Pop ancestors, the studio provides the climate for production and collaboration. Also influenced by the Fluxus, we believe in the daily performance of making and experimenting. We've merged our Yale New Haven roots to form an intersection that's picking up traction to steadily overcome class and social boundaries.

Alain Picard

Alain Picard will judge Mark Twain Library's highly esteemed art show this year. A preview gala event will open the 43rd annual Mark Twain Library Art Exhibition and Sale on Friday, Dec. 4. The juried Art Show will be open to the public during extended library hours through Sunday, Dec. 13. Alain says, "Judging is the fine balance between identifying technical skill and unique artistry. I tend to have a little criteria that I try to develop that combines the technical competence and excellence of execution on the basis of some definable skills, and the artist's unique vision, artistic style and ability to convey a specific mood or idea."

Alain will be presenting an artist's demonstration, Inside the Studio, at the library on Tuesday, Dec. 8, at 6 p.m. He went to Cambodia as part of a relief trip with the Walnut Hill Community Church. He will be doing a whole collections of paintings based on that project. Cambodia survived a genocide, and this is part of a broader story he will tell of the people and places, and beauty revealed in the midst of brokenness.
