West Coast Exhibition of Anne Marchand and Holiday Group Show at Green Chalk Contemporary
Richard Dana at The Heurich Gallery
REVERBERATION
RICHARD L DANA
OPENING RECEPTION
Wednesday, December 10th
5:30 – 7:00 pm
 |
| Richard Dana At The Heurich Gallery through March 11, 2015 |
Reverberation, Richard Dana’s latest body of work, comprises a new series of large-scale digital pigment prints on view for the first time in this exhibition. These vibrant abstract works are the result of Dana’s distinct process that exploits chance, experimentation, and analog and digital technologies. Dana begins by creating black and white drawings or collages which he then scans into his computer. The digital images are submitted to a series of manipulations – they are bent, stretched, warped, imploded, exploded, massaged, and colored – until any trace of the artist’s hand disappears. Each intervention builds upon the previous one, resulting in a mesmerizing body of images that vibrate with rhythm and color.
Exhibition sponsored by Boston Properties and curated by Jean Efron Art Consultants

Painterly Visions: Artists Studio Spaces in the Greater DC Area
I'm reposting an artist studio space locator list in the greater DC area from 2010. Washington ArtWorks, a new addition, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Rockville that offers art classes, studio space, and gallery exhibitions. Washington ArtWorks is currently expanding and will be opening dozens of new studios in the near future. If anyone has additional resources, I will gladly add them or update old ones, if you send request to painterlyvisions at gmail.com.
------------------------------
Painterly Visions: Artists Studio Spaces in the Greater DC Area: DC doesn't have big warehouses like NY and Baltimore and artists have studios in all kinds of spaces, from home studios to art organizations. An artist recently emailed me about where to find available artist space in the greater Washington DC area. I've started a list of organizations and groups who have artist studios to rent or to share. I've decided to post this for my readers as an expandable resource. You'll need to check with each location about guidelines for their studio spaces.
Let me know of other artist studio spaces you'd like to add to the list, please leave the information in the comments form for review. I will expand the list as time goes on. Here's the beginning and I hope it helps some of you find a great place to work.

The DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (DCCAH) and the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) are pleased to announce the dedication of Here to Here, a vibrant installation creating connectivity at St. Elizabeths East Campus and the Gateway Pavilion from one end of the green space to the other.

Here to Here consists of 24 brightly colored triangular aluminum sculptures that activate the extent of the lawn in front of the Gateway Pavilion, a temporary community space on campus utilized for various activities. Sheila Crider's design for the sculptures was inspired by the rooftops of the historic campus buildings and based on chain link fencing and directional arrows.

Action on Gazette's Intention
Daily Campello news writes:
I have just learned that The Gazette newspapers intend to terminate Dr. Claudia Rousseau's visual arts review column this coming Friday (Nov. 7). This is part of an apparent planned decimation of arts coverage in general by the Gazette newspapers (owned by the Washington Post).
We cannot just stand by and meekly allow this to happen. It is time for supporters of the visual arts to react by calling The Gazette, emailing them, writing them an old-fashioned letter, etc.
I suggest that you contact Will Franklin at wfranklin@gazette.net and send him an email on the subject.
Lenny is correct! We, the arts community, cannot stand around and meekly allow this to happen. For those of you who care about the arts coverage, it's time for action in the form of phone calls, emails or letters to voice your concerns. We need a lot of your voices heard! Take action! Contact Will Franklin at wfranklin@gazette.net and send him an email on the subject.
Here's a copy of the email that I sent to Mr. Franklin tonight.
Dear Mr. Franklin,
I am disappointed to hear that The Gazette intends to eliminate the arts review column by Dr. Claudia Rousseau. The coverage of the visual arts is a critical part of news media. I am a reader of the Gazette because of Dr. Rousseau's columns on the visual arts. Without the cultural component of visual arts in The Gazette, you do a disservice to your community of readers. I ask that you reinstate Dr. Rousseau's column and commit to the cultural literacy of our community.
Even with economic pressure, there are ways that The Gazette can bring fresh visual arts news to its readers via its online format. The community needs more arts coverage, not less. I reiterate to reinstate Claudia Rousseau's visual arts column.
These are the times that a newspaper like yours can be a leader in presenting creative thought and ideas. Claudia Rousseau's column adds insight and critical thought to the region's art scene. With an established reputation as an art critic, Ms. Rousseau has brought her vast knowledge of the visual arts to your readership for the past 11 years.
I firmly ask that you address The Gazette's commitment to the visual arts and to be a contributor to your readership by fulfilling your mission to deliver high quality news.
Warm regards,
Anne Marchand
