SUMMER SALON SHOW

If you are in the city before the 4th come out to celebrate! I will have four paintings on display.

July 3rd, 2008 - August 1st

Opening reception Thursday, July 3rd, 5-9p Wed-Fri 6-8p and by appointment through August 1st

Rabbitholestudio presents Summer Salon Show, a group show that features recent work by members of the tART artist collective. tART is an artist group based in New York City comprised of emerging artists committed to making art. It was founded in 2004 by a group of New York City based female artists whose aims were to create a community for practicing artists, as well as to serve as a post-grad school forum to facilitate a contemporary art dialogue. The tART collective has grown over the years to more than two dozen members. The group's members consist of locally and internationally showing artists. tART strives to strengthen the presence of women artists in the public sphere. The variety of media and visual art disciplines presented in the show include painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, video, performance, mixed media and installation. The work will be hung in a traditional floor-to-ceiling Salon style to emphasize the myriad approaches and directions that make up the collective's overall spirit. The artists involved have graduated from various MFA programs which include Hunter College, Yale University, Pratt Institute, Tyler School of Art, and Brooklyn College. The collective meets monthly for studio critiques and collaborative projects.
