The
Sixth
Annual
Juried
Summer
Exhibition
on
view
in
the
Tisch
Gallery
from
June
4 to
August

A
year
after
celebrating
its
fifth
annual
exhibition
by
featuring
five
site-specific
installations,
the
Tufts
University
Art
Gallery
went
'back
to

professional
artists
living

In

accomplished
group
of

Tufts
waived
its

Hotel

Arte,
Barcelona,
ES
Spain
In
today's
world,
convulsed
by
profound
social,
economic,
cultural
or
religious
inequalities
...
Art
becomes
a
homogenizing,
unifying
and
pacifying
element
working
as a
link
of
concepts
diametrically
opposite.
It
always
appears
direct
and
sincere
without
prejudices
of
any
kind,
communicating
with
our
spirit
beyond
materialistic
considerations.
Art
is
essence
itself,
and
everyone
has
the
right
to
enjoy
it.
This
is,
certainly,
the
grandeur
of
Art.

Dream On
Kush Fine Art
Russian-born painter and
sculptor Vladimir Kush spends the majority of his time in Maui,
with multiple galleries sprinkled on the mainland, including his
base in Laguna, conveniently located on Coast Highway just steps
from Main Beach. A dedicated surrealist with a romantic bent,
Kush's paintings and sculptures touch on realism while remaining
steadfastly in the dream world. His narratives often touch on
earthly passions in otherworldly sessions. His comfortable space
will be opened to a select few lucky patrons Friday for a
personal session with Kush for single portraits, a genre not
normally entertained by the fanciful artist. Visitors are
welcome to watch the artist at work. The day concludes with The
Games, a cocktail soiree and Fine Art Giveaway of two pieces,
Daisy Games and Full Moon Games, to pre-registered Kush
collectors.
Location: 357 S. Coast Hwy., (949) 376-8017,

Hours: Weekdays 10a.m. - 7p.m.

Natural Light
Pure Color - Mike Kelly
Photography
One of the rare
photographic galleries in Laguna, Mike Kelly's work can't fail
to the catch the eye of passerby, with brilliant color and
breathtaking clarity. It doesn't hurt that Kelly's work is
completely dedicated to the natural world, exceptional
landscapes and amazing underwater views of marine life. With
work from most continents, Kelly touches on the mythical in the
real world. The gallery has shifted from full-time sales to
studio hours, giving space to Kelly's traditional techniques,
using strictly slide film and leaving colors un-enhanced, and
the world to its purest color. Unfortunately, you can only
experience Kelly's magical world at this summer's Sawdust
Festival, opening June 26. The studio gallery will re-open in
September 2009.
Location: Sawdust Festival, 935 Laguna Canyon Rd., (949)
