Sixth Annual Juried Summer Exhibition : Back to Basics
Tufts University Art Gallery, Medford, MA USA United States of America

The Tufts University Art Gallery proudly presents The Sixth Annual Juried Summer Exhibition on view in the Tisch Gallery from June 4 to August 2, 2009. A year after celebrating its fifth annual exhibition by featuring five site-specific installations, the Tufts University Art Gallery went 'back to basics' in 2009 with an open call to all professional artists living and/or with a studio in three of Tufts' host communities (Grafton, Medford, and Somerville). In an effort to garner the most diverse and accomplished group of artists, Tufts waived its policy by which artists who had participated in a summer exhibition in either of the preceding two years were ineligible to apply. Included in the exibition is Robert Castagna who promotes his work with a Free Portfolio at absolutearts.com. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com
 

 
 
Two lenses focusing on two worlds: Carmelo Palomero (India) and Fernando Alonso (N.Y.)
Hotel del 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. Hotel del Arte promotes their artists with a Gallery Portfolio at absolutearts.com. The exhibition runs from May 22 through July 10, 2009 in Stiges. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

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, www.vladimirkush.com
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) 497-1129, www.purecolor.com
Hours: Daily 10a.m. - 10p.m.
