New gallery I found
A while back, while passing through Chestertown, Maryland (for the first time ever), I unexpectedly ran into a really nice gallery with a very good exhibition going on.
It's the Carla Massoni Gallery and the show (which ends Sept. 24) is Point of Departure: The Structured and Unstructured Landscape, featuring work by Heidi Fowler, Elizabeth DaCosta Ahern, Karen Hubacher, Jessie Pollock, and Grace Mitchell.
Anyway, from now on, any visit to this area of Maryland should include a visit to this great gallery.
And talking about landscapes, Addison/Ripley Fine Art has a really good exhibit going on through October 15: Mary Page Evans: Mountains and Sea. If you are around Georgetown, you should also drop by and visit this show.
Warhol at the Corcoran
This exhibition is co-organized by the Corcoran Gallery of Art and The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh and made possible through the support of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. Stacey Schmidt, Corcoran Gallery of Art Associate Curator of Contemporary Art and John Smith, The Andy Warhol Museum Assistant Director for Collections and Research are the curators for this show.
I'll be taking a look at it tonight at the preview, which I will be attending together with my good friend Lida Moser, whose own work is in the collection of the Corcoran.

Alligators (and a giant bunny)
I am super busy this week, with some deliveries and installations to take care of, as well as a massive amount of deadlines and work that has all come down to this week, as I have an unplanned trip to California next week.
More later... there are loads of terrific shows around town that needs some good mention and discussion.
Meanwhile, Michelle Banks sent me the below, which brought a smile to my face this morning:
Artists erect giant pink bunny on mountain
An enormous pink bunny has been erected on an Italian mountainside where it will stay for the next 20 years.
The 200-foot-long toy rabbit lies on the side of the 5,000 foot high Colletto Fava mountain in northern Italy's Piedmont region.
Viennese art group Gelatin designed the giant soft toy and say it was "knitted by dozens of grannies out of pink wool".
Group member Wolfgang Gantner said: "It's supposed to make you feel small, like Gulliver. You walk around it and you can't help but smile."
And Gelatin members say the bunny is not just for walking around - they are expecting hikers to climb its 20 foot sides and relax on its belly.
The giant rabbit is expected to remain on the mountain side until 2025.

New Arts Newspaper
There's a new (at least new to me) arts-focused monthly. It's the Scout Newspaper, and they're looking for submissions.
Details here.
