Opportunity for Artists

The Visual Arts Department at Montgomery College, Takoma Park/Silver Spring Campus has a great opportunity for emerging and established artists. The King Street Gallery is their main exhibition space in the beautiful Cafritz Foundation Arts Center, located just outside of DC at 930 King Street, Silver Spring MD, and features two person and small group shows, as well as curated exhibitions. This light filled, 1050 square foot gallery is in the main atrium of the building. Its prominent location, open design, and extremely high ceilings (30 feet+) make it a great venue for major exhibitions.

The deadline for King Street Gallery proposals is November 25, 2018 at 11:59 p.m.

Mark Jenkins on Superfine

The WaPo pops through the DMV MSM apathy wall towards the local visual arts!

Yeah Mark!

Like its more grown-up-oriented competitors, Superfine is a lively, glamorous bazaar that exists to sell art offered by galleries, dealers and artists. Mitow says he brought the fair to Washington because of its large population of young, high-income residents, as well as its booming real estate market and location between Miami and New York, the first two Superfine cities. 

“There’s a rift in the art market. It’s the only industry that has historically tried to keep customers out,” Mitow says over coffee at Union Market on a scouting trip to Washington. “I want people to be able to see themselves as collectors.”

Three vintage illustrations from the 70s

These three vintage pieces from the late 70s - which I did as illustrations for a privately printed book and which were sold at the Pike Place Market in Seattle while I was an art student at the University of Washington School of Art in Seattle (1977-1981) -- are being sold directly by the owner.

Anyone interested? Send me a note and I will put you in direct touch with her...
