Call for Artists

Westport Arts Center now accepting submissions for 

MORE Than Words/#iammore

Submissions are due by October 14, 2016

Juried by Gerry Snyder, Dean of the Pratt Institute School of Art and Curator of MORE Than Words; Pamela Hovland, Designer and Senior Critic in Design, Yale University School of Art; and Ward Shelley, Performance and Sculptor Artist (Pierogi Gallery).

ABOUT MORE THAN WORDS/#iammore

The Westport Arts Center announces a community Call For Entries in support of the theme of its current exhibition MORE Than Words - courage, resilience and empowerment in the face of bullying.    Entries for the second phase of the MORE Than Words exhibition, entitled "MORE Than Words/#iammore", can be submitted now through October 14, 2016. This Call For Entries is open to the general public.   Extending the conversation launched with MORE Than Words, the Westport Arts Center invites artists to submit work that examines the idea of bullying within a broad cultural context that considers how the imbalance of social, physical, or political power can marginalize those who are perceived as weaker.  Artists have long responded to these inequities through their work, able to speak truth to power in a way not available to others.   For this special community exhibition, we are also making a special invitation to young artists, ages 10-17, in a separate, new Junior Submissions Category.  Student artists can submit new or previous artwork on the subject of stereotypes, personal identity, or other subjects that address both the struggle and strength required to face all aspects of bullying and power disparities in our lives and in our world.  The imagery does not need to depict bullying specifically.

MARY LOU ALBERETTI '64

MARY LOU ALBERETTI '64, invites you to...
The Twain Shall Meet...East Meets West
October 1, 2016, Finisage...final opening
Second reception, Saturday October 1; Meet the artist
Wine and conversation... 4:00pm videotaping and discussion of the work

Mixed media, oils, and ceramic reliefs comprise the thirty new works in Mary Lou Alberetti’s current show entitled The Twain Shall Meet. The artist uses architecture and architectural fragments - inspired by her travels and studies in Italy, Spain, France, Turkey and Morocco - as metaphors for the cultures as a whole. The distinct colors and motifs from these living, breathing cultures influence her works. From these often-ancient places, tradition, beauty, and the patina accrued by time become distilled as layered vignettes, delving into aesthetic and philosophical underpinnings of older civilizations and times.

For further information and visuals please contact. www.BlueMountainGallery.org or info@bluemountain.org and visit the artist’s website at www.maryloualberetti.com or email mlalberetti@sbcglobal.net

I feel lucky to have been a designer behind an athletic mascot. I can't wait to see the new logo, the wyvern on athletic uniforms.

Horse Drawn featuring Ival Stratfor Kovner

Reception 8/22/16 4-6 PM

Ival adds, "One large oil portrait has been added featuring a huge cavalry styled hat - since Danbury is "hat city".  The hat is nearly four feet wide!"

The drawings are figurative expressionist style.  Ival seeks to capture the moment in time distilling the essence of both horse and rider in her drawings.

We visited family in Germany, and managed to make lasting memories there as well as in Holland, Belgium, and France. I also hosted my first European art workshop in Duesseldorf, Germany. This is the city where my wife was born, attended University and my father-in-law worked his entire professional life. It was a very meaningful experience for us!"

Linda Lyons

MarbleHead Festival of Arts Painting Exhibition  through July 4th, at Abbot Hall, in Old Marblehead (Shown: Gerry's Poppies, 12" x 12," oil on board, by Linda R. Lyons Price: $975. Honorable Mention: 2016 Festival)

Judges Commentary: "This piece is an eye-catcher, one that stands alone amidst the muted browns, grays, and blues of ocean scenes and distant landscapes. There is a bold use of paint, a specific point of view, and an everyday subject matter handled in a fresh and carefree way. It almost seems too easy at first, small and hurried, until upon further inspection you see the push and pull of translucence and opacity, the power of the cool, opaque greenery in the background, the fiery burn of flowers in the fore."

Jill Sarver

Jill Sarver ’10 was able to visit “The Floating Piers” while in Italy. She writes, “Christo himself even made an appearance! Pictures do it little justice. Absolutely magical beyond belief.”

About “The Floating Piers” : For sixteen days – June 18 through July 3, 2016 (weather permitting) – Italy’s Lake Iseo is being reimagined. 100,000 square meters of shimmering yellow fabric, carried by a modular floating dock system of 220,000 high-density polyethylene cubes, undulate with the movement of the waves as The Floating Piers rise just above the surface of the water. The Floating Piers is the latest and last work of artist duo Christo and Jean-Claude. The floating yellow roads extend from the pedestrian streets of Sulzano, connecting the islands of San Paolo and Monte Isola.

Perhi Fenninger

Perhi writes, "My demonstration for Warhol inspired POP art lesson for 8th grade..they chose their own subject..but since Warhol would have made portaits of our dearly beloved parted Prince..I enjoyed expressing him for this fun Color Theory project..I call it Pop Art Prince prints."
