Gallery is looking for artists
|
Visitor to the site writes "
A new gallery in Topanga is looking for artists to represent. The first juried show, "The Art of Landscape 2010", will open April 20 and end May 9, 2010. You may go to http://www.topangacanyoninn.com/Juried%20show.htm to learn more about this show.
Owned by an artist and a retied musician, these people know and feel the needs, aches and pains of other artists. They are willing to share their gallery space, that they own and run, with other talented artists to help them with recognition (awards), more venues (solo and group shows) and sales.
Feel free to email them if you have more questions and please forward this message to anyone interested.

Debra Sokolow: Designing Sacred Space
|
Mosaic Ark Wall and Eternal Light
for David Saperstein Middle School Beit Midrash
Designed by Debra Sokolow, the Director of Architectural Design in the Visual Arts
Department at Milken Community High School
The Ark Wall Mosaic, cherry wood Ark Doors and the Eternal Light have been
a year and a half-long creative collaboration facilitated by Debra
Sokolow, who shaped the design and theme of the seven species with a team
of 14 dedicated art students from Grades 7 through 12.
Milken's community of Middle and Upper School students, faculty, parents, administration,
staff, and alumni had an opportunity to place glass pieces within the
design.
Sokolow’s goal was to create a space that provided young
students a comfortable and inspirational learning environment intended for
general and Jewish studies while maintaining the ambiance of a sacred
space filled with light and color.....
